    A crack on the Courage and I'm supposed to just ignore it? ;) not that the braids/hair wraps weren't stupid looking....

    The bobble head Roary didn't have the braids or hair wraps or whatever that the costumed one did. A good move.

    Now wait just a darn-tootin' cotton-pickin' minute. I get stick for merely calling attention to Löwinha's unlikely sex-specific physical attributes (on second thought I refuse to apply the word gender to lions), but Bonnie gets away with insinuating that another mascot's lifestyle choice makes that mascot "gay"? Harrumph!

    Yeah, I liked that one. I remember seeing it a couple times at CL matches.

    Surely you wouldn't want it to be sad and depressed instead of happy and gay?

    (And Bonnie's the Boss. Bosses get away with things. Or so their staff tend to think.)

    IIRC, it was a cold and rainy January night in Charleston, S.C. The USWNT was pounding the hell out of Mexico, the Budweiser man knew me by name and the Baby Big Ass Flag was out, as was its keeper, Sam's Army. Suddenly, a fluffy figure appeared at the top of the stands, silhouetted by the bright stadium lights.

    Then, what appeared to be a special needs lion began a slow descent down the bleachers. Row by row, he turned and faced the U.S. fans. A high five here, a cartoonish wave there. And then he made his way to our section. It was a mistake that his simpleton mind could not quite grasp.

    A goal was scored -- Kristine Lily, I do believe -- conjuring the pony-tailed hooligans who then began their siren shrills. I happened to glance up at a now-familiar form in the stands. Roary was there, cheering, focused intently on the explosion of celebration below him. So intently that he did not see the shadows form above him. The rain began falling in thick, bone-chilling sheets. The Budweiser man, Jerry, took shelter, ignoring the thirsty patrons that sought the tasty goodness he carried. Then the shadows moved.

    Poor, simple Roary. He could not have possibly known what darkness was there waiting for him that night. A mascot born of little girl laughs and halftime hijinks had been the victim of a cruel, cruel fate.

    Then a scream. No, wait. It was a guffaw. Followed by a hearty laugh. And another. Fingers were pointing and the crowd shifted their attention as a sinister cloud of ridicule and embarrassment formed.

    And there was poor Roary. His mane soaked, his shoulders were slumped as he cast his eyes towards his ankles and the crumpled shorts that now lay at his feet. He glanced around at the once-loving crowd only to find grotesque faces frozen in laughter. The little mascot pulled his shorts up and slowly shuffled away.

    And that was the night Roary lost his pride.

    Sorry. :(

    You're right though. I should have just come out and said it: transgendered.

    Aya Sameshima to Montpellier?!

    (And why is it that I can't post properly on BS anymore, eg no links, unless I allow scripts to run? :confused:)

    Also, I was wondering whether we shouldn't split Eurotrash into Global (minus the usual suspects who get extra threads) and Trash to celebrate the start of the new season in most countries. I've been hesitating to post my little news tidbit about world champions coming to the French league because it meant interrupting momentous discussions about hair wraps and painted claws on mascots. :p ;)

    Absolutely. The gayer the mascot the better. I can't offhand think of anything more useless than a depressed mascot. (And Bonnie may be a boss, but bosses are people too and this here is a mere howling democracy, right?)

    Hahaha! What fun. You Beat fans had it good back then, I think, and that is one odd looking lion. But Löwinha is a little odd too, with her squirrel cheeks (cf. this post).

    Micol, I think it's a good idea to take the safe road and call Roary 'it' as you did, although Bonnie is calling Roary 'he' and 'transgendered', and since she personally de-pantsed the critter, I'm assuming she got a good look at some additional, umm, Relevant Anatomical Evidence while she was down there.

    Absolutely. Eurotrash was intended for just such fluff as "Traditional or transgressive? Gender identification in mascots" although it is also useful for occasional non-fluff items such as linguistic digressions. It was never really intended to be the catch-all for news from all countries without threads of their own, so yes, important football news can get unfairly lost in here.

    I didn't, but BS does, although I can see it once I've been back to the site where it came from. :confused:

    It was a picture of Tabea Kemme posing with the backside of a horse, draping its tail over her wrist, on Nagasato's blog.

    Agreed.

    When y'all think of a nifty name, feel free to start a new one. :D

    Oh my goodness, now that Hegering (was it her?) has left the club, Krahn is at it again with the latest addition to their team. :eek: (Barbara Müller, promoted from the B team).

    And eyeing the next potential victim...

    One would think, but this girl is 28 and should know better!

    (And just in case someone wonders what on earth we're talking about, look at the lower part of this post.)

    No, no. It's amazing what YOU can find on the internet. :D

    Thanks! Love the horse and the blonde chick. (I can only assume she's 4'11 and the horse is a large draft. In scale, of course.)

    I'm now 33 years old and I'm not quite sure how I feel about that yet :eek:

    Oh, that's a horse? I thought it was supposed to be a bull, and that didn't really make sense. :confused:

    All the best, Bonnie.

    Ferdinand the Bull, perhaps, and a Cabbage Patch kid, and what crazy brilliant mo-fo baker emptied a box of McDonald's french fries onto a birthday cake? The 'nets is indeed a strange and marvelous place, and some Bonnie out there is a lucky girl. Happy birthday, Bonnie!, and hope you have a lucky happy day as well.

    A bull eating a Milka ice cream seemed somehow clever and meaningful (nay suggestive even) but its meaning was above me.

    And whomever placed the candles is stoooopid. The one in the water in the well will be too wet and just go out, won't it?

    Bestesty Birthdayeee Greetings Dearest Bonnieeee.
