picture if you will the cracked-out scribblings of the san diego chicken, and the meth-hopped ravings of the phillie phanatic, and you'll quickly understand that mr. met actually has excellent penmanship for a mascot.

Mr. Met Honored By State Senate Posted by: Joseph Spector - Posted in Uncategorized on May 08, 2012 The state Senate this afternoon passed a resolution honoring Mr. Met for being named the top sports mascot. The ranking was made last week by the The Davie Brown Celebrity Index. Unfortunately, Mr. Met was not in the Senate gallery to receive his honor�although he would have undoubtedly got the crowd hopping. Maybe he�ll come in the off season. Here�s the resolution, which in part reads, �he is a man with a large baseball for a head and can be seen at Citi Field during Mets home games.�

Whereas he is a man with a large baseball for a head.

Classic legislative language.

If I did nothing else as a lawmaker, I'd consider my career a success if I could draft a resolution honoring Mr. Met and steward its passage.
