Oz ,'Beneath You'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I mentioned that they looked like they were from the Doctor Who alien reject archives with a link to one of the pictures and got this in return:
@BarbFerrer We're convinced that you are one more clueless American! (Though we admit to being Starbucks addicts.) #mascotsFTW
Whoa. Way for them to make friends and influence people.

Oh snap!
I've never been dissed by creepy fictional one-eyed faceless penile-looking Olympic mascots.
...lucky you.

The Vancouver mascots would never have done that. They would have offered to bring Tim Horton's for everyone.
So he's picked up what you and K call each other? My mom laughed that while every other toddler was screaming some variation of Mom, her's was screaming MARCIA! Lasted for me until kinder, and then I called them mom and dad variations.
They would have offered to bring Tim Horton's for everyone.
Even the one that was part killer whale!
I actually have a mcdonald's toy of one of the mascots bobsledding that we got when we went to the olympics. It's on my desk at work.
...lucky you.
I know... I feel sort of warm and squooshy inside.

Poor little bug.
I can't believe he was trying to crawl into Grace's crib. He has been throwing Fox, books, water bottles and Danny Bear in there for her for days now.
Are the London mascots supposed to be a riff on the London Eye or something? Either way, yikes.

M & I are seriously discussing applying to open a Timmy's franchise here in SF. We would try to appeal to the people who prefer not to spend 10 minutes waiting for their drip coffee cf Blue Bottle), and the people who love doughnuts that are called Timbits.
You totally need to tell about their adjustment. So curious.
My parents weren't wedded to the mom/dad thing, so had no problem with me calling them by name. I think the shock was when I stopped. Peer pressure, likely. My younger brother never called them by name.
