Oh. My! From now on I'll picture you not with your dear Rizz, but with some strange hairy orange thing. I can't help it. What exactly is that *thing* supposed to be, anyway?
This sure beats having Eeyore pat me on the shoulder and wave on his way to a break.
It's a Youppi! They make their habitats mostly in baseball fields in Montreal (though, when I was a youngster, there was one that found its way to my bedroom to sleep with me each night).
Seriously, I don't know what it's supposed to be. I know that the Expos used to have a different mascot that was basically just a giant baseball with arms and legs, but it scared too many children, so it was replaced with Youppi! in the late-'70s.
I've a Youppi! stuffed animal (obviously), and I'd be very sad to lose it/him. Youppi! rules.
And of course, now the tickets are so outrageously expensive that most people can't get to Leaf games, and it may be sometime before you get the chance again, right?
And damn, that is one freakyass mascot. I sort of wish the Dodgers had a mascot though, I'll admit it would be pretty humorous to watch it cavort across the field.
