They Will Haunt Your Dreams

Mascots. No good dirty, filthy mascots. Oh, how I hate thee(s)!

Exhibit 1:
Hey! It's The Famous Chicken!
He's pretty damn old, and pretty damn entertaining...
Here's the entire Reno Aces team bombarding The Chicken
with water balloons for some transgressing or another.
Aces Tuffy Gosewisch, left, and Taylor Harbin, right, join with
one of The Chicken's minions, tall guy, in some sort of
wacky hijinks or something.
An attempt to recreate the Brazilian soccer ref drawing
and quartering just ends up with a naked chicken
and close to 9000 traumatised fans .

Okay. The Chicken is damn good. Damn good indeed. How about our own Sox the Fox?

Exhibit 2:
Here's Sox ruining my shot!
(Truth be told Culberson fouled this one off so Sox ruined nothing).
How about this one? Huh?!
Or this one...Damn! He is good too. And the kids just love him.
Okay. This isn't going like I planned. Time for the big guns:

Exhibit 3:

Yup. It's a cigarette butt and 3 hip-hop rats...
...and a Nazi Hotdog...
...and from Sunday's game...this, this thing:

That kid in the foreground can't get away quick enough.
Smart kid. Very smart kid.
It's the Grinch. For local charity Christmas Unlimited.
A very good charity with nothing but nightmare fuel
for a mascot. Thanks. And Merry Christmas to you too.
Why? I know the Grinch is a Christmas cartoon but this, creature, is nothing but pure evil. Don't they own a mirror?! Time to go back to good old Santa.

Dammit! That's it! No more Christmas for PengoSports!
What' next? Messing with Easter? Sure. Okay. If you insist. Coming soon! This guy hanging out in the restrooms with our old pal the Urinal Deuce:

Plenty of room. Come sit a spell.
