101/101 | carleton & me

my favourite mascot in the whole wide world is carleton the bear. not only is he cute and adorable, he also cheers for the good ole leafs, heckles the opposing team, and intently watches the last few minutes of almost every game with his nose pressed up against the glass. grown men love him too. really! i've seen them pat him on the back of the head as they walk by.

i got it in my mind that i wanted to get a photo taken with carleton so i put it on my 101 in 1001. i never thought it would actually happen because (a) i don't go to many hockey games, and (b) i've never actually seen him up close and personal. but as fate would have it, at the very next game i attended, carleton popped into the very section where i was sitting. i nearly squealed and dragged vince with me to get a photo of us. i smiled so wide, it looks like i'm grimacing.



i love him so much that i'd buy a stuffed version of him but they all look inexplicably ugly. i'm not gonna lie, i think it's bizarre that they can't get a stuffed animal to look like a mascot.
