a zebra was loose on the streets of downtown atlanta...at 4:30. oh brother! did somebody say rush hour traffic? jeez louise! lima the zebra (that's racist!) was in town for the ringling brothers circus, and she got spooked.
this is a quote from mr. daniel nance who saw the zebra galloping (do zebras gallop?) through the streets of ATL near a MARTA station (more like FARTA station, am i right?) :
''all of a sudden a freaking zebra comes running down the street like a car...five or six police cars were in hot pursuit. and a bunch of officers on foot. but then I got scared, thinking ... what else is loose?''
what else indeed. (nothing else was loose)
also, jicydak, atlanta did not get it's crazy-loose-zebra cherry popped today. it happened once before, only 2 years ago! in 2008, a baby zebra was discovered on interstate 75 after, presumably, falling out of a truck and being hit by a car. that zebra was named 'evidence' because the cops kept referring to it as that (racist and rude).
but never fear, 'evidence' was taken to AuBuRn UnIvErSiTy'S vet school for care, and is living happily ever after at noah's ark animal rescue center in georgia. WAR EAGLE!!!
