at least the word "bat" has some wiggle room to play with phoenetically. I mean some of the other teams are Orca, elephant, hyena, komodo dragon, alligator, rhino, lion, wolf. Not much fun to work with if you need to include those words.

BTW the team names were chosen in advance and people were assigned via picking names out of a bag, so nobody could choose what team they were on.

and as fate would have it, somebody actually spotted a real live bat hanging on the outside of our building, right near a window. It's on the 4th floor and the windows don't open so nobody can hassle it, but hopefully it will fly away to somewhere warmer this evening, it's getting mighty chilly out.
