They look absolutely stupid, at least Australia came up with some great mascots. Although I can't remember their names right now, I think they were our kookaburra, kangaroo, echidna, and platypus. But don't quote me on that, just going by memory. Oops and I think our koala was in there also. One was names Syd.

Yeah, they are kind of cute. I confess I didn't like them much at first, but they are among the cream of the crop, looking back at other "recent" Olympic mascots. And I know I'm in the minority saying this, but I'll say it again. I think Neve and Gliz are cute, even if there's no discernable reason *why* they were chosen as mascots. |

I like Neve and Gliz too, but that's probably only because the bar has been lowered so much in recent years.

 Austrailia's are good, but Salt Lake's Powder, Copper, and Coal are still my favorites. A nice play off the mining industry. When I picked up a Copper keychain during the games, it came with an explanatory tag. On the tag was the mascot logo -- a box divided into four segments each a different color: red, blue, yellow, white. Weeks later I happened to turn the logo on its corner and realized it was a reactivity/hazmat chart! I have to applaud the person who thought that up. |

We need some graham crackers and chocolate bars - these mascots would make perfect s'mores!

For the most part they are cuddly toy animals but some border on the absurd! Get a oad of the first one from Grenoble in 1968 know as "Schuss". Can't imagine any kid cuddling up to that one!

I don't care what any of you say, I think Neve is sexy as hell. I wouldn't kick um, her, out of bed for eating s'mores.
uhh, did I just type that and hit "Post Quick Reply"?

What's the old adage- "cold hands, warm heart"? Getting "her" undressed could be a problem. Tell me- in the heat of passion would she melt in your arms? heehee.....
