"Of course, the ugliest mascot, bar none, has always been the Phillie Phanatic, who is green with a snout. The Whatzit, who all by himself, started the Atlanta Olympics off on the wrong foot, was extremely homely and without charm, but, still, the Phanatic is the worst. Tommy Lasorda, the former Dodgers' manager, got into a dustup with the Phanatic once. I guess the Phanatic won. Anyway, he's outlasted Lasorda. Somebody stole the Phanatic's head recently, but, unfortunately, it was recovered." :lolBIG:

It would be an honor to be the Phanatic or Swoop or the Lion!
I can't be that lucky...and that statue sucks because I can see the BC logo. :howdy:
