    During the introductions last night, when Clutch came riding in, my 3-year old ball of energy dropped everything and fell to his knees - just staring, mesmerized.

    So Dad said, "You like that bear?"

    And Son replied, "No - motorcycle."

    That's my boy!

    I hate that stupid bear, but I nearly died laughing/crying the first time I saw him in that bubble/bear suit. He comes out and "bucks up" to officials and opposing players.

    Woo, I was laughing my arse off.

    is that the thing where he gets upside down in his suit and jumps around so that it appears he is bouncing on his head?

    Hows this. I've sat next to TWO different people who were convinced that Air Clutch was a robot.

    One of the best things in life is to hear a little kid say something "adultlike". For example, me and the boys were helping a friend of ours build a patio in his back yard. So we are in the driveway shoveling dirt into a wheelbarrow and his 4 year old son is "helping" with a tiny garden shovel. Well he starts giggling about something and drops about 2 ounces of dirt on the driveway. He looks at the dirt and looks up at me and with a straight face says "My bad, Dog". I thought I was going to make a puddle I was laughing so hard. Damn, I love hanging out with that kid!

    A bear?
    In a suit? A three piece?
    With Robotics?
    Like the 6 million dollar bear?

    There is space in the suit to turn his body around inside the suit. So his feet are in the head of the suit when he is on his "head".

    P.S. I also like to watch those "secrets of magic revealed" shows. [​IMG]

    I sat third row to a Phoenix game last year when he was wearing that Bubble Suit.

    He does this thing where he jumps around and then looks like he is falling over and then jumps at the last second to catch his balance.

    This other guy was sitting courtside and had just got a mixed drink. He was kicked back and ready for the action. Clutch did that thing where he looked like he was going to fall on the guy and the man spilled his drink all over himself. You should have seen the look on his face. I really thought he was going to stomp Clutch into the ground.
