The Denver Nuggets mascot, Rocky, is known for his playful and entertaining nature at games. He uses humor and jokes to engage with fans and create a lively atmosphere. These mascot jokes often revolve around basketball and the Nuggets team, adding an element of fun to the game experience. Rocky's jokes can range from clever one-liners to funny antics on the court. His lighthearted approach brings laughter and cheer to both children and adults in the audience. Whether it's a witty remark or a comical dance move, Rocky always finds a way to entertain and amuse the crowd.
However, in 1988 another landscape was inspiring film-makers shooting a TV adaptation of CS Lewis's classic story. The tale of good versus evil, rooted in a heady blend of the scriptures and classical mythology found its perfect backdrop at Hawkstone Park in Weston-under-Redcastle, Shropshire.
It s possible it may be a bit scary for really young children I first saw it when I was in 2nd grade, so about 7 or 8 years old, I think, but I did find certain parts scary so best to watch it either before them to gauge how you think they d respond or watch it with them. If Narnia deserves nothing else, here at Mainlining Christmas we believe that it deserves credit for being a story in which Santa gives deadly weapons to young children and sends them to war.
Whether it's a witty remark or a comical dance move, Rocky always finds a way to entertain and amuse the crowd. His jokes have become an integral part of the Nuggets game tradition, adding to the excitement and enjoyment for fans. So, the next time you attend a Nuggets game, be prepared for Rocky's clever and humorous antics as he brings smiles and laughter to everyone in the arena.
BBC’s “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe” (1988) Review
In 1988 the BBC did a TV miniseries based on the first three books (in publication order, not reading order) of C.S. Lewis’ famous and beloved series “The Chronicles of Narnia.” The first of the three is “The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe” and it is truly my favorite film rendition of the book (even over the more recent version…I’ve always had a fondness for puppetry, animatronics, and costumes over CGI). I was lucky enough to find a DVD boxed set and brought it home to watch. Tonight is the first night, so I started with the first installment (I have actually never seen the other two, so this will be fun!). The books always made me feel a bit more magical and even now the movies inspire feelings of witchiness.
Being as it was 1988, the animation and special effects are not great at all, very elementary and easily seen to be “fake”, but for a TV miniseries in the 80’s I’m sure it was considered fantastic (and I thought so as well when I first watched it in the early 90’s). The acting is theatrical and so funny, but in a very happy, nostalgic way. The comic relief with Mr. and Mrs. Beaver is welcome as, even now, the more intense scenes still make me feel a little scared. I remember Aslan seeming more lifelike when I was a child whereas now…well, the animatronics are very obvious. I also used to have the BIGGEST crush on the actor who played Peter. It follows the book very well (or at least what I remember of it) and is 168 minutes in length. The music is well done and has a perfect eeriness to it for the White Witch and has a pure fantasy sound through the whole thing. I will say the battle scenes are just terribly cheesy and silly; so many of it involves animated creatures which takes more away from it than adds. However, even with that, the rest of the movie is quite brilliant, but that is a biased one since I’ve loved this movie for 20 some odd years!
They just don’t make fantasy movies like they used to. Overall, I’d give this movie high marks and a strong recommendation for everyone to see at least once. It’s possible it may be a bit scary for really young children (I first saw it when I was in 2nd grade, so about 7 or 8 years old, I think, but I did find certain parts scary) so best to watch it either before them to gauge how you think they’d respond or watch it with them.
Have a very goodnight and blessed be!
With 2005's film version of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe attracting both popular and critical acclaim, the team behind it are already considering the sequel, Prince Caspian. Perhaps Andrew Adamson and his team should follow the BBC's example and come to Hawkstone.

Reviews for "The Denver Nuggets Mascot's Pranks Gone Wrong"
- John - 1/5 - I absolutely hated the Denver Nuggets mascot jokes. They were so cringe-worthy and felt forced. It seemed like the writers were trying too hard to be funny. The jokes just fell flat and didn't elicit any laughter from me. I was disappointed because I was expecting something creative and witty, but it was just a bunch of lame attempts at humor.
- Emily - 2/5 - The Denver Nuggets mascot jokes were okay, but they didn't really make me laugh. Some of them were just too cheesy and predictable. I think they could have been more clever and original. It felt like the writers were relying on tired tropes and recycled jokes. Overall, I was hoping for something more entertaining and amusing.
- Michael - 2/5 - I wasn't impressed with the Denver Nuggets mascot jokes. They seemed like they were aimed at a younger audience and lacked sophisticated humor. I was hoping for jokes that would appeal to a wider range of people, but these just didn't hit the mark. I believe they could have been more intelligent and witty, rather than relying on silly puns and slapstick humor.
