Title: Who Wants to be a Mascot?
Post by: Lil Me on Jan 08 08 09:35
VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - If you're about six feet tall and can act like a friendly Sasquatch, you could qualify to be an Olympic mascot. Vancouver 2010 is looking to hire full-time staff to wear the Sumi, Miga or Quatchi outfits.

Yep, I second the notion of nominating SD, though he may be over qualified. :)))

You can show us your appreciation by sending us some of the money you'll make.

Yes, I second that Gophie.  That and pictures.  Hopefully, a female over 6 feet will accompany you, SD.

Yell if there really is a sasquatch, it must have had a mother.
Title: Re: Who Wants to be a Mascot?
Post by: Sportsdude on Jan 08 08 11:18
but what if its the only one left? then it doesn't have a mother.  
Title: Re: Who Wants to be a Mascot?
Post by: Gopher on Jan 08 08 11:19
I'm sure it's not the only one left - I hate to think of anything being entirely alone in the world.

No more shaving from this point on.  As I have suggested the nomination, I hearby appoint myself Sasquatch manager.  (fees to be negotiated in direct relationship to your success)  However...if you are not successful, there is a rather large penalty.

Maybe you could cultivate a Rasputin look.  Some women go for that.

eh, seems like the 5 o'clock shadow look is back in style.
Somewhere George Michael is smiling (probably a public toilet next to Sen. Craig)

I thought Don Johnson started that look.  Never worked for me.

ah yes that guy.
hmm
boy has he fallen off the radar.

Post by: P.C. on Jan 09 08 09:37
He was never ON my radar.  Kissing a stubble face is not pleasant.  (well, I'm sure there are exceptions) [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="vny!://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/liebe/a022.gif" border=0]

 You mean to say that the women like them so much that they've got them as well?  (You did say everyone).

I just wondered as I've never come across an unbearded lady gopher and wondered if the same fashion had now spread to female humans.
