Last night my girlfriend and I went to Boo at the Zoo. I thought that it would be fun, there would be people hiding around corners to scare you and whatnot. Turns out that my memories of boo at the zoo from when I was a kid were very off.
Nobody even tried to scare you. And there were kids EVERYWHERE. I felt suffocated. When there was a bunch of them in front of us it made us walk so slow. Thank god I resisted the urge of tossing the little pukes out of our way. There was an Alice in Wonderland themed section; no magic mushrooms there, but we did see a large mushroom big enough to sit on.. We didn't. There was a guy juggling torches and playing with fire which was entertaining for a few minutes.. Probably the best site in the whole place. They charged us 10 bux per person, rather than the normal like 4. What a rip off. Anyways, I guess the moral of the story is to not go to Boo at the Zoo unless you have a little kid(s) or you are one, or you buy your mushrooms from the same place Alice does..
I actually laughed out loud when I read the title of your blog post. Very funny!
ReplyDeleteI used to do a "Pooh at the Zoo" bit in my stand-up act. The big closer: "Get there early, they're expecting a shitload of people."
ReplyDeleteSounds like I was right. Ha!
Alice in Wonderland!
ReplyDeleteDoes Karen Press know about this?
