READER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.
Who says the Olympics are all fun and games? The party’s gotta end some time, and perhaps not soon enough for the young, bushy-haired hooligans wreaking havoc on our beautiful city.
Looks can be deceiving.
The merciless civilian justice system handed down the sentence of decapitation to the cake form of Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games mascot, Quatchi.
The tasteless crime?
Public deliciousness. (No appeals were heard - because who could argue?)
Those adorable, persuasive little hands...
Watch as Quatchi pays the ultimate price.
Miga, Sumi, and Mukmuk - Quatchi’s closest friends - chose not to attend the event, likely for fear of the same fate.
In a eulogy delivered on the Vancouver 2010 website, Quatchi was portrayed as an adventurous, fun-loving creature who would never have the opportunity to realize his dreams.
Quatchi is a young sasquatch who comes from the mysterious forests of Canada. Quatchi is shy, but loves to explore new places and meet new friends.
The sasquatch is a popular figure in local native legends of the Pacific West Coast. The sasquatch reminds us of the mystery and wonder that exist in the natural world, igniting our imagination about the possibility of undiscovered creatures in the great Canadian wilderness.
Although Quatchi loves all winter sports, he’s especially fond of hockey. He dreams of becoming a world-famous goalie. Because of his large size, he can be a little clumsy. But no one can question his passion. He knows that if he works hard and always does his best, he might one day achieve his dream. Quatchi is always encouraging his friends to join him on journeys across Canada. He is also often recruiting others to play hockey – or at least to take shots at him!
Oh, another life cut short by gluttony…
If deliciousness is wrong, I don't want to be right!
RIP Quatchi. It was nice eating - I mean, meeting - you.
NOTE: Not that anyone was wondering, but no - I cannot take credit for this fabulous creation. (Unfortunately for us all, this is not the latent super talent I’ve been waiting for.) Cake hobbyist extraordinaire / master photographer Alyssa Fahlman is responsible for this Quatchi (cake and pics!), and though she doesn’t yet have her own TLC show, I don’t expect it will be long before she does - if she wants it.
