No Thirsty Thursday this week as the Stingers will be out of town battling it out with the notorious Colorado Sky Sox. (Middlebrow had a commentary on mascots, and I think we've found a really idiotic one in the Sky Sox. What exactly is a sky sox?) In the mean time you can submit your name suggestion for the kinder and gentler Stinger mascot. I was thinking of sending them Hooty MacBoob, but that is a Simpson's rip-off and makes about as much sense as "Sky Sox." Stinger McSting. He needs to have "Mc" or "Mac" in his name I think.
If you had a mascot what would it be and what would you name him? What would you name yon Stinger's beast?
I think my mascot would be a vicious panther and his name would be Q.T. McWhiskers. (And you thought I was going to say a wookie, didn't you?)
Stinger's mascot: Buzz Off.
ReplyDeletePersonal mascot: Lucy Liu who's name is Lucy Liu.
Speaking of Simpson's ripoffs: I'm sure everyone is aware of the Albuquerque Isotopes???
ReplyDelete'Topes! We play them in July. Well "we" doesn't include me, really, but it is nice to feel a part of the team even if you are just a thirsty thursday bench warming fan.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure, but I think the Simposon's stole that name from them.
I did a couple movies in Albuquerque over the past year and the story is that the name was taken from a Simpsons episode. My Topes T-shirt says "Est. 2003" so I believe it.
ReplyDeleteThat makes sense. I seem to remember playing them earlier, but I am often deluded like that.
ReplyDeleteHow about Mickey McWriter? He can be a panda bear with a lap top. And when I write he can bring me mochas and give me back rubs with his big fuzzy paws. (Eww. This is reminding me of an article I read that I don't want to think about. And so no one else has to think about it, I won't say what it was.)
