Bring me the head of Bucky Badger … and a UW English teacher

Yes, Bucky Badger — the costumed mascot of the University of Wisconsin — lost his head at a frat party over the weekend. Bucky “woke up” (read: on the floor, hung over), and the head was gone. And yes, it was returned undamaged the following day. But the most amusing portion of this story came in the form of this comment, found in the WMTV-15 NBC affiliate comment section:
