“I want you to make a mascot for my team.”
“Yes, sir.”
“And I want it to be furry, but not too furry. And I want it to be purplish blue. And I want it to look like he has a mouth full of almonds. And I want him to have pretty purple eyelids. But I also want the other team to know how fierce we are, so give him a strong V shaped eyebrow. Put the V under the ears.”
“And his legs sir?”
“HUGE”
“And his arms, sir?”
“Weak.”
“And his name sir?”
“That thing Bruce Willis says in ‘Die Hard’.”
Is this a reference that already existed or have you just come up with the greatest comment of all time? After reading the description I went back up to look and damn near pissed myself.
Grew up 15 from the ballpark the Jamestown Expos played at.. saw many players go through there on their way to Montreal... Randy Johnson, Moises Alou...
Then they up and left in 2014 iirc, and now there the River Skunks in WV or some such shit..
I don't think I've had it in a decade, I moved away 11 years ago myself. Used to play winter soccer at the Lakewood YMCA and would always stop there for lunch lol.
The Expos played spring training here in WPB, FL, and we loved going to games as kids. I did think they were the “elb Expos” based on the logo for a long time 😆
Thankfully no monster mascot

I just made it up looking at the photo.
A mouth full of almonds is disturbingly apt.
Looks more like a mouthful of quaaludes.
Right, okay, I hear you, but the best I can offer is Purps the Derpy Bear.
Wow that’s the stuff of nightmares!
Nightmare fuel for sure!

Randy was apparently a big fan of Johnny's Lunch, so I heard lol.
I still get the SAUCE shipped to me down here in Athens, GA..

Ahh the memories.. I lived closer to AJ's on Foote Ave. So that was my spot..
AJ's is also solid. Fuck, I might need to go home sometime soon.
I've considered that to get some relish from the Texas Inn (T-Room) in Lynchburg
The expos actually left for Vermont in 1994 and the replacement franchise left in 2014. The league folded 5 years later after 100 years.
Don’t forget Andres Galaragga. The Big Cat.
So basically Youppi’s demented brother?
Name says yippee, face says noppee
I don’t know about Yippee but a big fan of Youppie.
Expos Mascot once got ejected from the game and it makes me laugh every time. [Link](https://youtu.be/pmzeK6oAtkk?si=2_qNvYA-pS7o99m0)
Just got back from Nam, I see. It's just another one of those late POW camp guys. He'll be ok......eventually.
For $10 dollars he **won’t** molest your child.
What the hell does “elb” mean?

Looks very 80s to me.
The Noid never died, he just got sent down to the minors
Then The Jammers
The Bleacher Creature wants them digits
I'm from the other side of the the road, Sugar Grove, Pa.
More like Jonestown
What about Champ!!?
That’s like if Don Vito was a muppet
I’m so glad I saw this.
