The Search for Scully Rows On

While this year's Argos games have been extremely enjoyable, there's been something missing. That something? Well, as we've hinted at previously, it's obviously Scully - the loveable Argos mascot from the mid 90s. scully.jpg

Scully provided everything one could want in a mascot: his own go-kart, the ability to squirt water out of his ears, a good passing arm for mascot football, and the wherewithal to avoid getting arrested. Sadly, Scully was released by the Argos after the 2002 season for reasons that the team has refused to disclose to this day.

With rumours swirling that Scully had suffered a nervous breakdown after being released by the club and had gone into seclusion, we decided it was up to us to seek him out and try to cheer him up.

This edition's stop: Midland, Ontario.  Population 16,700.

We were tipped off that Scully had moved to Midland in order to be close to the water, and because of the ample go-kart parking in the city's downtown.  Sadly, as the below picture with Lady Rusty (which beat out Rusty Lady as a nickname in a landslide 1-0 vote) shows, all we were able to find was this restaurant named in his honour, apparently by an alcoholic crab.

Come back Scully! 

(Incidentally, if anyone knows where the  Scully costume is, please let me know. Seriously. I need a Halloween costume.)crab shack.jpg

Wasn't there a rumour Scully was living in a tent with Ricky Williams at that hippie commune in Australia? Lived on a diet of grubs and ganja.

Apparently, he lost a lot of weight on the diet, and now shares an alarming resemblance with Kerwin Bell.

You know, we really haven't done enough Kerwin Bell stuff here. We're gonna have to get on that.

I'm telling you: Have you ever seen Scully and Kerwin in the same room? No.

Absolutely not.
