Thumbs down Norway Hijacks our Mascot!

Probably still peeved over their resounding defeat by the US National Men's Football Association, Norway has kidnapped the bonsaiAUCTIONS mascot and is holding him hostage!

We're losing track of the number of times this has happened. A sternly worded demand for the immediate release of the bonsaiAUCTIONS mascot was dispatched this evening to webmaster Nils at http://www.bonsaibutikken.no


"Facing an unrelenting attack that produced 24 shots (13 on goal), Norway was unable to get settled or find a rhythm and only hit two shots during the entire 90 minutes. "

If there isn't some prompt action on the part of the Nørsk, we can't promise there won't be no.bönsaibutt-kikken. More news as it develops...

Who would expect this sneakyness from such a dignified corner of the world? What shall we do?

A few solutions comes to mind :
  • Green berets cover ops, silent but deadly. A ressource for info : http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications...ok/geos/no.html
  • Pay the ransom and get them in the corner next time, because they have found the secret identity of the mascot and we cant afford being revealed to the public.
  • make it political, wich would involve ambassador, King HARALD V, the legislative branch and probably the UN.
Hmmm I think I read to much Tom Clancy book's

Salute,
Patrick

Proof of Life!

A grainy snapshot received just a few hours ago shows our mascot's alive, but in obvious distress: blindfolded with contusions and bruises evident on the face.

We also received this taped recording. I am afraid these folks mean business.

Regards,

Matt

Prince Harald must have a cold. Understandable, in such a chilly climate. Okay, we have to wait twenty-four hours..... it's a good thing that our mascot doesn't have to eat.

Does our mascot have a name? Or is he actually under the witness protection program, perhaps from the Orphanage of Cast-off Mascots.....? He looks a bit like Plywood Pete, having undergone some lamination. Or de-lamination?

Just make sure you use wood preserver and not lime sulphur. Lime sulphur is toxic to Plywood Pete and makes him sneeze

Two cruise missles ought to do the trick. Fire at Will... I mean will
