On memorial day I drove up to Omaha to watch the Royals’ AAA farm team
I got to the stadium about an hour and a half early. The Stadium shares a parking lot with the zoo, so I decided to go look around the zoo while I was waiting for the game to start.
I learned something. Zoos are great places for guys to take their kids. It even makes for a decent date idea. But if you’re 35 years old, male and there alone it makes the other people at the zoo a little nervous. When people see a grown man walking around a zoo by himself they get a little suspicious and give you strange looks. Parents pull their kids closer to them, stuff like that.
I felt so awkward that I started hollering “Attention zoo patrons! Relax! I’m just a grown man who enjoys looking at monkeys! I mean you no harm!”
I always assumed that they fed them some sort of special diet.

I like your pompadour Arrogant Sea Lion! It makes you look like Muddy Waters! -
The Rosenblat Stadium in Omaha has the worst baseball statue I’ve seen:
It’s just a vaugely humanoid shaped blob. And they actually welded a REAL allumium bat to his hand! (Or where is hand would be it he was sculpted better). That’s just lazy. If you’re going to do that you might as well just steal one of the manaquins at K-mart, paint it bronze and call it a statue.
