CINCINNATI - The Cincinnati Cyclones' loveable yet psychotic mascot "Twister" made a surprise summertime appearance in the Tri-State area on Sunday.

Since Cincinnati isn't typically well-known for its cyclones, Twister decided that his team wasn't getting the publicity it needed and deserved.

"We won the Kelly cup this year, and our team didn't even sell out tickets for the finals," Twister told reporters as he nonchalantly toppled some Clifton power lines.

"People complain about the losing sports teams in Cincinnati, but they never even come to our games," he added, while tossing a satellite dish as if it were a frisbee.

"First it was the Kelly Cup, but this year the Cyclones are taking over the world," he screamed, as he ripped an 80 foot tree from its root system.

"After I'm finished here, nobody will ever forget this Cincinnati cyclone."
