Vancouver Riptide Mascot Washes Ashore

Vancouver Riptide recently teased the unveiling of a team mascot. Known as "Dude," the blue haired, yellow bodied character in full Riptide uniform is very smiley. So far, Dude is good luck to the home team as Riptide won their AUDL home opener 34-23 over Seattle Cascades.

Grampa: She wants to steal a kiss like "Pyramus and Thisbe."

Homer: Did you say "Ultimate Frisbee?"

Grampa: No!

Homer: Ooooh!

See to the right for a special Simpsons character caught wearing a Sludge shirt replete with the (sludge-induced) fish Blinky. Gotta love the purple shoes-pant-belt combo!
