youppi- what is he supposed to be?

[wakawakawaka]

does any one have an idea of what species Youppi is supposed to be? I think 'Le grand orange" might be a muppet, related to elmo cookie monster and the like. Also was it true Youppi was homeless and living on the street for awhile before he was picked up by the Canadiens

What is he supposed to be? Awesome. That's what.

Who cares "what"?! You should consider yourself lucky he exists in the same world as you!

Youppi is a place holder for Desharnais, if you go through enough threads on this forum. Cirque du soleil will be providing stilts when transition time is ripe.

Youppi is a physical manifestation of someone's LSD trip gone bad back in the 1970s.

Youppi was meant to be a symbol; that was the ooint

Youppi could be anyone


But seriously, I think it's Paul Mara waiting for an opportunity to play, lobbying himself in the Bell Center and fund raisers

Knock off the Dr. Suess/Muppet racial stereotyping. All mascots are Wookies.


Kidding. Carry on.

All this time I thought you reserved your bold Royal Blue text for non-muppet interventions.

I think Youppi was designed by Jim Henson, the same person who designed the muppets.

You should search what the expos mascot looked like before youppi.....

Yup, Jim Henson's company designed him. Or it. Or we're not sure.
