DEAD! Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 The mascot for the 2008 olympic games is to be unveiled today. Don't be surprised if it's a panda I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korkie Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 straight from the island of misfit mascots comes:Sexual Harrassment Panda! [Petey enters] Petey: [song and dance]Who lives in the east 'neath the willow tree?Sexual Harassment Panda.Who explains sexual harassment to you and me?Sexual Harassment Panda."Don't say that! Don't touch there!Don't be nasty!" says the silly bear.He's come to tell you what's right and wrong.Sexual Harassment Panda. Seriously though, a panda would be a good kid friendly choice. Another maybe a Barney-fied chinese dragon.

Brian in Boston Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Ah... Beibei, Jingjing, Huanhuan, Yingying and Nini.Unless I'm mistaken, their names - without the juvenile repetition - loosely translate to "Beijing welcomes you." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrBear Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 The story from MSNBC. There are five of them - a panda, a swallow, the Olympic flame, a Tibetan antelope and a fish, with each one the color of one of the Olympic rings.I think the Burger King has been replaced in the ninth circle of hell.

phayze Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 It's a definite possibility that mind altering substances may have played a roll in the design of these mascots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee. Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 What's important to understand is that after each event, one of the mascots will give a detailed recount of what happened. But one of the important facts will be incorrect. Do you know which one it is?Thank you, Astro Boy. Welcome to DrunjFlix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Looks like a bunch of Pokemen to me. "Get em all!" ... or however that plop goes.And are FIVE mascots really necessary??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitaminD Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 EDIT: taken down; this was on another board, and looks like it got melded into an existing thread. Anyway, my info was already put up here by BiB on the thread. -VitD "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it... In old New York..."In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Still beats 1996's "Whatizit" by 2 full furlongs, pulling away down the stretch.I always thought Olympic mascots were *supposed* to suck.

Thats what it looks like to me. Also the flair around the tip of the beak is just flair that fleur de lis have sometimes source I am from NOLA.

perfesser Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 I wonder what would happen if the IOC pulled an NCAA move and required the organizers to get permission from the Tibetan people to use a Tibetan antelope as a mascot?Doesn't seem too likely since Jacques Rogge was gushing over them.
