The big question - how does one paint a zonkey? Here we have a depiction of what the Illini Zonkey should look like, assuming heavy reliance on spray paint!

Zonkey "beta" testing - a success!

Accept no substitute Zonkey, come to the parade on Friday October 29th and get yourself a free IlliniZonkey pencil!

An obvious imposter

What is black and white and lives in Tijuana? Not an Illini Zonkey (we forget to get him papers)...ok so the Tijuana donkey could run the border. But hey, it's a long way to trot from Mexico to Urbana. Viva Illini Zonkey

"Zonkey Zonkey Zonkey," according to the Urbana, IL based Alma Mater front group. Through their spokesman, Alma Mater proclaimed their support for the Illini Zonkey and summarize their position as "I'm pro-Zonkey."

Naysayers beware; the Loredo Taft crafted Alma Mater group is estimated to weigh, in aggregate, over several thousand pounds. Ouch!

And these guys thing they know Zonkeys

2004-10-07T16:43:00.000-07:00

Everyone knows that a real Zonkey is made with

spray paint
maybe some duct tape or beer to confine and subdue the creature
Hard work
Hard work!!!

Illini Zonkey

The buzz is already growing surrounding the Illini Zonkeys. Next year, we should have T-shirts and Hats to sell alongside the Zonkey. Apparently that's how they do it in India.

Nuc-a-lar donkeys!

Did these Zonkeys get too close to some plutonium? Who knows - but they can be in the parade! ....and the sly Zonkey-master or Zonkey-keeper knows how to spray paint an animal just like shown.

Will he be painted like this?

Here's a possible Illini Zonkey being very techno-styled. Hmmm, not so sure that spray paint, rollers, brushes or any form of painting known to man could make such a fine Zonkey after a few beers are consumed [yep, that's beers consumed by either the painters OR the Zonkey :) ]

Illini ZONKEY needs to stay quiet (no neigh-ing)
