    Heyparnter I know you are also a season ticket holder, so do you know how that Giant inflated Clutch works. I think there is a midget in there. My bro thinks that its either a robot or sort of like a puppet. He cant be a robot because it deflates. Where would the machinery be. Cant be a mascot, because I dont see any strings. I think its a midget who switch his position in there really fast. I think when it jumps on his head, its still the midget who is still standing the right side up. Then it falls and switches his position again.

    Actually, it isn't a midget. That mascot is about 8 feet high. I assume that it is an inflatable vinyl blowup type thing with a person inside of it. A guy around 5'8" could fit pretty comfortably inside it.

    I think it is the same person inside the regular Clutch suit because they are never on the court at the same time.

    but then how does it deflate or bounce on his head? and also how does it get up without using his hands.

    It's just a little dude that can manouver around the costume real good. I used to think that it was a robot, but after seeing him a few hundred times , you figure it out. I was pissed at that the "non-air" Clutch bear last night because he was behind the basket chasing that other mascot when a rocket ( I think Cuttino) was shooting a free throw. It made him miss!

    Oh well, at least Barkley got to pound on both of them!.................
    Jim Rome is trashin Barkley on the news right now! what an *******!!!
    I gotta go.

    Well, if he's bouncing on his head, that explains a lot about the Hutzinator. [​IMG]
