The death of the game mascot

Feb 6th 2007 7:26PM (Joystiq)
His name is Izzy.

Izzy was created as the mascot for the 1996 Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta. Ten or so years ago at the Busch Gardens theme park in Williamsburg, VA, they built a new roller coaster and named it 'Wild Izzy' after him. Last time I went, though, the Izzy name had been taken off, but the coaster's still there. It's 'Wilde Maus', the small yellow one with enough violent hairpin turns to give you headaches.

I think the little brother is supposed to be 'mentally challenged' or some such in the movie, that's part of why he's staring so obviously blankly at the screen.

9. i just can't get over the fact that his last name means "boy-love"

Actually, the correct (according to Reggie himself) pronunciation suggests that his last name is really "Fils-Aim? which translates more directly to "loved son".

But we all just can't get over Reggie, period.

There's hope for this country yet

Regardless of what's on the blank, I think that 'pro-' with the dash is supposed to mean that it's denoting the prefix. So the real correct answer would be 'anti-'.
