I know a guy who interned with a local team that had to dress as a mascot for the Boston Cannons Major League Lacrosse All Star Weekend. They had a "mascot game" where the local area mascots and league mascots played lacrosse. Picture all these poor guys in the middle of summer in their huge hot mascot suits with the heads and sleeves and such, and then there's Lucky, the acrobat leprechaun. Lucky was checking and throwing his weight around because he was a normal guy running around, while Pat Patriot, Wally the Green Monster, the Revs fox mascot, etc all had to play in their mascot suits. They couldn't even use normal hands, they had mascot hands. Lucky dominated the game and showed every mascot up on the field with taunts and such to the crowd (even teammates), and then wouldn't talk to them afterwards and left in his own car without saying anything to anyone.
I will never forget asking him how it went, and as he's dripping sweat the only thing he could say was "Dude, Lucky's ****."
