Where in Duluth?

Just guessing here:  the side of a van (down by the river).

Good guess, but incorrect.

Carnival Thrills or Texas Roadhouse....?

Bully wins! The image is of artwork on the back wall inside the new Texas Roadhouse at 902 Mall Drive.

Does eating a pile of factory-farmed meat cause you to morph into one of those deformed creatures?

Dang it! I actually knew that one!  My friend works there and joked that its a picture of herself so I kept staring at it throughout my dinner.

The Texas Roadhouse mascot is an armadillo.  It looks like a rat to me.  They have someone dressup in the mascot suit and march in parades and etc.  I'm always wondering why anyone would choose a rat as their mascot.

That's like a first gen Ipod too!

Whoever she is, she looks cold.

hahahaha!

Chuck E. Cheese is a rat as well, and I've been inside him.

Girlfromnorthcountry, it's something like a rat to the extent that a rhinoceros is like a dog.

Armadillos are about the size of a small cat, and have strange prehistoric looking shells. They're really quite intriguing. I'm lucky to own a first class plush armadillo.

in addition, armadillos are smelly, dirty and really not that cute.

Anybody ever see the Texas Tea slot game in Vegas? That crazy animal looks like it was adapted from that very game. Gotta love penny slots for passing the time!

They're also one of the few animals that are affected by leprosy in the same way humans are... in case anybody was wondering.
