    So they have an opening?

    JK. I loved clutch. Thought he was one of the better mascots. I've always wanted to be a mascot since my junior high days. The fact this guy made a huge leap to follow a passion, makes him a hero to me.

    25K to six figures, according to this Chicago Tribune article.

    http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/careers/sns-jobs-cool-jobs-sports-mascot-story.html

    And here is an idea of what they can make in side-gigs.

    And here's one that includes mention of Clutch...mentioning his superb, highly sought-after performance skills, quote: "bolstered through their value as performers, merchandising and advertising".

    I want to be the next mascot. I will wear a rocket as a costume and light my farts to pretend I'm lifting off. And, I will zipline across Toyota Center with flames shooting out my backside. I am "Fart Rocket"!

    I think DD should apply. Go for it, DD! The commute might be time consuming, but think of how much fun you'd have.

    It all makes sense now. This is why we're targeting Rubio, we have the perfect vacancy for his skills.

    Let me get this straight...you pay 80 million dollars to Ryan Anderson and 53 million dollars to Eric Gordon, but you fire the most beloved mascot in Houston sports history over money? (Sorry Orbit or Crazy George or whoever)

    **** you, Les. The guy was actually a great mascot and kids LOVED him. A lot of that was due to the person who was actually doing the acting, not just the costume.

    I make games it is it's own circus, no time for this, though I am sure it is fun.....

    Can't believe he was fired over $$$, what a cheap ass.
