Political Weirdos

Is it bad that I used to say that I was jealous of the Reds mascot.....Mr Met?

I was TOTALLY correctly envisioning Mr Red. I had the right mental image of the baseball head and mustache. I was just for some stupid reason calling him Mr Met.

Then one day, at a baseball game, Guardians vs Twins, I just blurt out to my friend "You'd think that Mr Met would have been the Mets mascot. I mean, the names are right there."

And my friend tries mentally processing what I just said, couldn't make heads or tails of it, and just says ".......what?"

And I said "I'm just saying, maybe they should have named him Mr Cincy, or Mr Red. And then The Mets could have....wait, what IS The Mets mascot named?"

Now my friend is REALLY confused. He just says "Mr Met"

And I said "Yeah, he should probably be renamed. What's The Mets mascot named?"

And he just says "MR MET"

I swear, it was like an Abbot and Costello routine. Completely organic, and with both of us confused as to what the other was saying. At least in Abbot and Costello, ONE of them knew what was going on.
