16th Annual Celebrity Mascot Games

Every once in a while Orlando will hold a gathering that is unquestionably the most astonishing event to ever be witnessed by the human race. This is known as the Celebrity Mascot Games, which combines 30 sports mascots in a ruthless tournament to pinpoint who are the ultimate conquerors in the mighty world of sports. Me, Julie and Ray were fortunate enough to attend this momentous competition as the mascots participated in this heated contest that was going into it's 16th year. Special thanks to Erik and Tiffany Wieder who hooked us up with the hot tix!






Julie and I decided to make a sign for Rowdy (Dallas Cowboys) so we pulled up a picture on that thing called the internet.






Julie studies the character very carefully.....






.....while I draw his mug as fast as I can.






The sign is now approved by my thumb.






Ray stopped by Julie's place and was welcomed by the approved sign.






We all made it to the Amway Arena...including my big mouth.






It was a beautiful sight to see as we walked into the arena and the games have already begun.






Me and Ray were getting a little excited.






As we walked over to our seats on the floor a few of the mascots were resting up for the next round.






Chomps (Cleveland Browns) is apparently hard of hearing.






Stuff (Orlando Magic) and Knightro (University of Central Florida) were ready to knock their opponents off the beams as they try to walk across.






I'm ready to see some MASCOT BLOOD...and so is Julie.






Bucky Badger (University of Wisconsin) gets nailed in his huge fluffy chin.






Bucky shed a few tears but his team members told him to suck it up and be a manly mascot.













Junction Jack (Houston Astros) decides to walk aimlessly around the field.....






.....and Globey (Harlem Globetrotters) kept bugging the fans for spare change.






Later on, Fin (Vancouver Canucks) and the head referee were going to have a freestyle rap battle, but Fin declined since he knew the crowd wasn't ready for his fresh sound off the streets.






Stuff came on by and begged the crowd to pull him out of the game but no one could hear his muffled voice.













Ray, me and Julie show off our mascot poses.






Globey was doing his happy dance because someone gave him a half dollar.






Knightro hates it when Globey dances, so he vowed to one day track down the generous fan and strike him or her down with his mighty plastic weapon.













Most of the mascots have decided it's break time.....






.....while the rest of the mascots break it down with a freaky long legged ref.






It is now time for the FINAL EVENT!













I took this rare opportunity to take a picture of a dog next to an alligator without getting eaten.






Ray rocks out while we wait for the final scores to be tallied.






The referee announces to the scores for each team.....






.....AND OUR TEAM WON!!!!!






Rangers Captain (Texas Rangers) was strutting on by and acted like he owned the place.....






.....but his ego didn't reach a point where he wouldn't want to take a photo with me.






Me and Julie got a picture with Globey and were a little annoyed that he kept asking for five dollars from both of us.






Stuff is a busy mascot but he was nice enough to take a picture with me before backflipping down the aisles.






The main event for this blog was pretty much over and done with by now, but I was still being stalked by Tiffany Wieder (#1 BriGuyHogie blog fan).






Erik Wieder (the husband of Tiffany Wieder (#1 BriGuyHogie blog fan)) can't believe his wife was caught stalking Brian Hogan on camera.






But in the blink of an eye I was bolting down the hallway. Never to be seen again by the Wieder's that afternoon.






As I reduced my bolting speed to a screeching halt I ended up right outside by the fountains and tried my best to not get soaked.






Julie thought the fountain looked like fun, so she slid right on in while I was still worried about getting dampened shorts.






Ray waited patiently for the both of us by lounging in his fold out furniture he always carries around.






Then Ray decided to be a gentlemen and picked a few flowers for the lady.






It's time to head out in a uproarious fashion.






When we got back to Julie's place we took a group picture with the sign we ended up forgetting to take with us.






Then Ray thought it was a good time for a power nap.






Julie thought Ray had a good idea so she tried it out herself.






I also thought it was a good idea because it gave me the opportunity to steal as much food as I wanted in Julie's pantry.






But I wasn't quiet enough since Julie chased me while I was heading out the front door with her food.






I got away this time but Julie vowed to track me down and will most likely get Knightro (University of Central Florida) to help her with my capture.

An Afternoon In Mount Dora, Florida

Christian asked me nicely to get into his car to help him find a few good books to read, so when I sat down and closed the door he started to drive at a blazing speed.






Marcus was in the back keeping an eye on me, so I behaved myself in the car because he's the last guy I want to cause any trouble with.






After seeing this sign I notice Christian was turning slightly to the left, which led me to believe we were headed towards the quaint little town known as Mount Dora.






Marcus was still keeping a close eye on me in case I was going to start acting like an idiot and embarrass everyone at the table.






Christian started talking about the future of web design while Julie C. pretended to be interested.






Then Julie T. started to talk about the 18 steps on baking an apple pie and Marcus also pretended to be interested.






I started taking pictures of myself and pretended to be interested in me.






After eating at an Icelandic restaurant known as The Frosty Mug, we took a group picture in front of the most amazing mural ever created.






Julie C. and Julie T. are ready to own the mean streets of Mount Dora.






I was excited to find a direction where Coca-Cola was sold, but Marcus wouldn't allow me to go any further because he knew Dr. Pepper would be the other way.






After owning the mean streets for about two minutes we all decided to take over the alleys as well.






One day I hope to be a good enough model where I won't even need an alley staircase.






But at least I can do a pretty good Spider-Man impression.






Christian found a Madonna book in one of the stores and was a wee bit excited.






Julie was trying on a few hats and I joined her by finding whatever I saw close by.






We continued to walk the mean streets and Julie was ready to pounce on me like a Ninja.






Every corner we turned no one was to be found and Mount Dora was truly becoming ours to own.






And Christian was even more excited when we found another Madonna book for him to own as well!






Christian reads through the Madonna book carefully while the others wait patiently and stand around.






I, however, decided to sit down and pass the time with some heavy reading.






We headed over to an ice cream shop and Marcus demonstrated how to be as cool as soft frozen food.






I had trouble passing this test.






There's nothing like sitting in the shade and sucking on sweetened flavored milk fat!






Marcus shows off another demonstration on how to look cool.






Christian is getting a little tired of the camera.






Julie C. doesn't mind the pictures.






And Julie T. definitely doesn't care at all if I snap away.






We continued to sit around and enjoy each other's company.






BUT I WAS READY TO GO!!!!!






Christian and Marcus didn't want to deal with a fussy Brian Hogan, so they illegally crossed the street to quickly get to the car.






Marcus and Christian found the car and it was their finest hour.






The girls were very impressed.






And now that the afternoon is over it's time to leave this quaint town and disown it forever.





The End.
