But some of the voting machines were antiquated and deliberately used to confuse elderly sports mascots, most of whom were too bulky to wedge into the voting booth anyway.<br /><br />(The Phillie Phanatic was able to use his party-favor tongue to move the lever, but for the others...well, democracy remains a tease.)Randyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00882493419310050580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6583983316633559747.post-57997107398035341392006-12-18T02:56:00.000-05:002006-12-18T02:56:00.000-05:00Wasn't Pat voted "Most Likely to Be Compared With ...Wasn't Pat voted "Most Likely to Be Compared With an Obscure Sports Logo"?Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08491197257766966520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6583983316633559747.post-6109429548131435722006-12-17T03:25:00.000-05:002006-12-17T03:25:00.000-05:00The Milwaukee Brewers were a minor-league team -- ...The Milwaukee Brewers were a minor-league team -- part of the American Association -- from 1902 to 1952. But from the 1920 through 1933 seasons, they were just a bunch of liars. Liars in cleats. The 18th Amendment meant that they weren't brewing anything.

Nothing says "Brewers" like a nondescript baseball mit that could stand for any team.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17688268218462706348noreply@blogger.com
