I would have thought that anyone who loves cryptozoology would be excited over the fact that a sasquatch is the mascot for the Olympics. I got so excited over it that I called my wife while she was at work. Then I ordered a 16″ Quatchi for my small cryptozoology collection.

Let’s face it, Canada had 2 choices for a mascot, a sasquatch and a moose. The sasquatch and the moose most likely had some sort of death match which resulted in the victor for mascot rights. Sasquatch once again proves to be supreme in the Animal Kingdom. Yowie man needs to realize that Sasquatch is king of the tundra.

Tim the “Yowie Man” is obviously not much of a researcher, anyone that considers the American bigfoot and the Canadian sasquatch to be different animals has very limited knowledge on the subject.

In my opinion a sasquatch is the ultimate athlete; stong, fast, flexible. I have never read a report that describes a sasquatch as being slow and clumsy.

I dare you to tell Quatchi’s 9ft tall big brother or sister that they are clumsy, slow, and dopey. I’d give myself at least a half a mile head start.

I would think that even having BIGFOOT be a mascot would not be a good idea, since a good portion of people basically see Sasquatch and Bigfoot as the SAME THING.

I have an idea for one (nobody will take it, though, but one can hypothesize):

The Wendigo.

Big, mean, tough, and quintessentially Canadian.
NOBODY messes with it. Fast, agile, and “hard to beat.”

I know, too scary for kids and most people. But VERY memorable, if it could be done the right way.
Yep, I’m into “offbeat” things.
I will now take my meds.

Too bad it’s too late for the Vancouver Organizing Committee to adopt the agile Australian yowie for their mascot instead of the klutzy Canadian sasquatch. If a U.S. city ever hosts the Olympics again perhaps the speedy bigfoot will be considered for a mascot. That’ll show those Canadians what kind of mascot to choose.
