The 2014 Commonwealth Game mascot has been unveiled. It's........... ...a ****ing thistle called Clyde , http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-19651062 Personally, I think we should've gone with a proper deconstructed artistic image available on bus stops all over the city with a charming local colloquial term borrowed as its name. Tina and gents, I present to you, The real Commonwealth Mascot Dobber please log in to view this image The real Dobber will, of course, be tooled up with an empty bottle of Wreckthehoose Juice
Scotland is the most unimaginative country, knew it would be a Thistle or a Nessie. Something horribly twee and touristy. Dobber is a far better mascot. Although I think the mascot should be an actual person. One of the well known tramps from the City Centre would be apt.
It was designed by a 12 year old from Cumbernauld, apparently. Given the other main Scottish news this morning, said 12 year old has a fair chance that her school has just been announced as the one to get closed next year I just realised a missed a trick - the mascot shouldn't be called Dobber - "Bus Stop Boaby" would be a big hit with the kids <merch>
see if u were in nandos and u finished ur meal and were about to pay but that thistle thing came in n picked up the tab that would be hysterical
I have a story which involves racism, a WWE wrestler, Nando's and a freight elevator. Sadly the components of the story are far more interesting than the story itself so I'll leave it to your own imagination to put the part together.
I reckon it is. The Lisa Simpson BJ thing at least wasn't wearing a morris dancing costume or a beefeater's outfit. This thing looks like a tourist emblem from the early eighties - it could only have been worse if it was a massive set of walking bagpipes or a haggis.
Should've just ****ing got an elusive but very real haggis and been done with it. please log in to view this image
