Have you seen the other Olympic mascots? Always hokey.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I keep thinking they're a joke.
Or -- remember The Simpsons episode where the Olympics comes to Springfield, and Homer creates Springy the mascot? Yeah, Springy was better than these freaky-deaky things.

No! The Vancouver mascots were awesome and in no way CREEPY.

And I *love* Smoky, the mascot for the 1932 Olympics. Now that's how it's done!

Sorry, think Vancouver's were odd too. I'm not a fan of made up mascots.

I know they weren't real creatures, but they looked cuddly. The London ones look...not cuddly.

After seeing the London mascots, I think I realize why Britain lost the empire.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Odd and made-up is one thing. FACELESS GIANT EYEBALL THING is quite another.

With respect to Rand Paul, there are libertarians and there are libertarians. He's one of them that takes the ideology over to the absurd. Hey why should the government interfere with how Domino's delivers pizzas? Their drivers should drive as fast as they can to deliver a better service. To me that's no more absurd than saying Dominos can choose to not deliver pizza to black people.
Note: In no way am I suggesting that Dominos wants to do either of these things. I would like them to want to make better pizzas, though.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I think the London Olympics mascots are kind of cute
