Random question for our American friends:

Youngerheuer wants to know why the Phoenix Suns' mascot is a gorilla (and not a phoenix... or a sun)?





The Suns Gorilla
The Suns Gorilla is one of the more famous mascots in the NBA. For the first eleven seasons of their existence in the NBA, the Suns had no official mascot. An early attempt was made involving a sunflower costume, but it never caught on.[24] In the winter of 1980, a singing telegram (sent by James Oberhaus, a loyal fan) named Henry Rojas from Eastern Onion Telegram service was sent to the arena in a gorilla costume. Security saw him and suggested to him to stay for a while to entertain the fans during the breaks. He kept coming to games until officially invited to be the Suns' mascot.




They dont use a Phoenix because of the guy in the gorilla costume.

Youngerheuer is both impressed and satisfied with your definitive explanation  [thumbsup]

And with the awesome power of his father's wacky DMF mates to know the answer to.... everything  ;D

just arrived at shop, about 10mins ago . . . well the Swift belongs to the missus . . . she works 0700h-1600h, I work, from 0800h-1700h at opposite ends of the city . . . about 15kms away from each other, so, I decided I was going going to bite the bullet and use the bus until my bike is fixed.
