I've explained this in previous posts, but I have a strange obsession with sports mascots. I think it started when I was a kid watching This Week in Baseball. The zany antics of the San Diego Chicken were enough to make me laugh out loud as a seven year old kid. I mean what's not funny about a life sized chicken wrapping his beak around the bald head of a paying customer eating a malt cup in the front row?
Other notable mascots include the Phoenix Gorilla, Billy the Marlin, Bango, Bernie Brewer, and the Philly Phanatic.
I'm not sure what sort of being the Phillie Phanatic is, but one thing is for certain, he is no dummy. This safe for work video qualifies the previous statement.
