Regulars will already know of our “varied” relationship with Skratch and the Trash Monster.  At first Bekah was terrified of both, and then gradually warmed up to both mascots.  Surfing the web for Lake Monsters results yielded this Youtube find (featuring GM CJ Knudsen among others in the VLM front office).  A pretty clever television advertisement:

And then, there was this next one - which I have mixed feelings about.  Part of the illusion of the mascot is preserved by never allowing the public to see what goes on behind the scenes.  I never met - nor did I want to meet, the persons inside the Skratch or Trash Monster costumes.  A little cognitive dissonance that I was able to engage in, quite successfully thanks.

It’s actually pretty funny - in a Wayne’s World kind of way (blogger: Loved the “good to be on my own show” comment!)

The VLM have slipped to 2-4, for those keeping score.
