You have to buy your own costume(s)?  Really, Celtics, you can't spring for a leprechaun suit?

I was about to post this. Though I don't actually want the competition at auditions.

What's up with all the computer software requirements?  Does Lucky do stuff around the office like in those ESPN commercials (but for real)?

One of the qualifications should also be that the applicant is aware that he is not actually the mascot he is dressed up as.

Do they no longer offer the limo rides from Quincy as a perk?

This is really just a temp job until Scali retires from the NBA and becomes the permanent Lucky.

I'll go with you.  We can be like Patrick Swayze & Chris Farley in the Chippendales audition.

If anyone from this board gets the job I will personally just keep giving them non-stop tommy points. 

I can't get enough 'Lucky doesn't..." jokes.  I actually laughed out loud at this thread.

How much does the job pay?

i guess this is what danny and doc have been up to lately...obviously the search for a new lucky is much more important than a wing player
