Also plays into Milwaukee's German Heritage.  Brilliant.

Man, even with 10 additional pounds, find it hard to believe they could take down a badger (no UW mascot implications) - I guess an insatiable pack of them could eventually do the job.  freaking badgers, dirty a$$ hermit animals (w/ UW mascot implications)

"...if you give your dachshund a squeaky toy; dachshunds are notorious for attacking the toy and 'killing' it by destroying the squeaker as quickly as possible."
