ZooBreak
Episode 2—the actual escape itself


If you missed the first episode of “Zoobreak” here's a link:
Zoobreak 1

In the last episode, the members of the Unwillingly Relocated Animals Brigade of the East African Serengeti Territory (U.R.A.B.E.A.S.T.) (okay it's a stretch but it's not a bad anagram for a bunch of animals) were planning their escape from the Bronx Zoo. Despite some differences among themselves, they managed to formulate a pretty decent plan to free themselves from captivity. Getting back to East Africa was going to be a little trickier.

Baboon: Okay, huddle up animals! Mr. Potamus brings up a good point. I figure we head for the Queen Elizabeth.

Hippo: Duh... but how can she help?

Elephant: He's talkin' about the boat.

Crocodile: Lovely! I've always wanted to experience the luxury of an ocean liner cruise!

Baboon: Well I don't think Tom Jones is gonna be performing in the Sea Breeze Lounge but if we can get to the docks early enough, you carnivores can make a light breakfast of the crew and we can weigh anchor before the coast guard even knows what happened. but we're gonna have to travel about 20 mph to get to the boat on time.

Hippo: Duh-uh-oh! My top speed is 3 mph. Just go on ahead without me. I don't mind being gawked at by humans for the rest of my life.

Lioness: Aw see that ain't right. We can't just leave him here. I’ve got an idea. I think I know of a way for Mr. Potamus to travel first class! By plane!

Hyenas: Ha-ha-ha Hyuk-yuk-yuk! Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hee-hee Ha-ha!

Lioness: What is so DAMN funny!?

Hyenas: Nothin'! We're laughing hyenas, it's just what we do. tee-hee, giggle...

Lioness: Oh! ...Alright then, as I was saying; Now ya'll seen that big fat human female got the TV show...wusser name? Oh yeah, Oprah! Well, me an my homegirls here are gonna give Mr. Potamus a MAKE OVER and we'll pass him off as Oprah!!!

Hyenas: HAHAHAHA!! HAW HAW HO HO HO HEE HEE (gasp) Guffaw-haw-haw Ho-o-o-owl-l Har-har Hyuk-yuk-yuk! Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hee-hee Ha-ha... ha... hee... hee... (gulp) What?

Lioness: (SMACK!!!) And don't be tryin’ a play dat; "it's what we do" routine with ME! Now go scavenge some purses. We need air fare for Mr. Oprahpotamus.

Hyenas: Hng!... Hng!

Lioness: You laugh an' it'll be your last laugh.

[Later]

Baboon: Now how are we going to explain to the zookeeper why Oprah's in the Hippo's cage?

Lioness: He does look pretty damn good, don't he?

Elephant: I know I'll regret saying this, but humans are so dumb, I bet we could all pass for 'em.

Lionesses: Uh wa-a-ait a minute. What human are you gonna be? / Yeah it would have to be a behemoth of a human, no offense... ahem...

Gorilla: Oh! who's that one on TV? Sally Struthers!

Baboon: Do any of you apes know how to play instruments?

Chimps: No.

Baboon: Great! you can be Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. And let’s see, long face, long face...Got it! Two zebras can be Joan Rivers and that butt ugly daughter of hers. And one of you can be ex-presidential candidate, John Kerry.

Chimp: Speaking of presidents, Who does this look like?

Cheetah: GotDAMN that’s ugly! But you do look exactly like him.

Baboon: You dopes, George W. Bush has his own private jet, it won’t work.

Macaw: Okay, picture me with a little goatee and a guitar.

Baboon: Prince. You got it.

Gorilla: I jutht got a totally ludicrouth idear, it’th tho ludicrouth, it jutht might woik...

Baboon: Mike Tyson. Perfect! Alright, the rest of us can all go as contestants on “The Price Is Right.” That show is a zoo anyway.

[Three weeks later]

Baboon: I can’t believe we all made it! Except for...where’s Mr. Potamus?

Elephant: Oh, he got called back to the set to tape another show.

[Later on the news]

Anchor: Well, more news about Oprah. Suddenly, she’s become very involved in the animal rights movement. She’s donating all her wealth to improve habitat conditions in zoos all over the world. It also looks like she’s changed her appearance again. She seems to have lost a lot of weight.

The U-Men
From the ghettos of the X-Universe come the U-Men. Some are ex-X-Men who were exiled, some were exed after the auditions, some never even tried out for the part. These are the U-Men. U doesn't stand for anything but neither does X.


Hibernator
His super power is his ability sleep off drug binges and come back to life as mentally acute as he’s ever been. He once slept for a month after securing residence at an apartment he was supposed to maintain while the tenants were on vacation. When they returned, all the plants and animals were dead. but amazingly he slept right through the dog gnawing all the toes off of his left foot!


The Orifice
One of the most awesome and powerful of the U-Men, also called the “Mayonnaise Jar” she takes on even the largest of opponents, and several at a time, completely swallowing them up never to be seen again—they don’t even call! The Orifice fills her days with seeking fresh meat and herself with anything she can find.


Half-Nelson
It is impossible to injure, break or harm his legs in any way. Not because they’re indestructible, because he doesn’t have any. There is an ongoing debate as to whether he is a true U-Man and not just a paraplegic as he was not born a mutant but simply had a hemi-corporectomy after a skiing accident.


Ovaltine
This obese U-Man was dubbed Ovaltine for his ability to consume victuals at an alarming rate and his favorite is to guzzle copious amounts of rich, chocolatey Ovaltine often depleting whole grocery store supplies...Wait a minute! He’s not a freaking U-Man he’s just a big fat pig!


The Vortex
This spinning spiraling creature possesses the uncanny power to twirl and twist matter into a vortex and thus make it disappear completely without a trace. Actually he’s mostly done it with fecal matter although he did flush a few small animals down the swirling porcelain vortex.


The Cheek
I know what you’re thinking; “that’s not a super power, having a really big cheek” Yes, but when he forages for berries and twigs in the warm summer months, he can store them in his cheek pouch for the long winter months to come. It’s all part of the natural ecosystem in our Wild America!


The Disbeliever
Completely impervious to indoctrination, propaganda, subliminal messages or brainwashing of any kind, This U-woman is chronically skeptical and always bears a look of disbelief. This Doubting Thomasina is so wary of everything that she often looks in the mirror just to make sure she really exists.


Beaver
Able to fell mighty saplings with just 8,465 gnaws of her powerful choppers, (it would take the average person 453,098 gnaws), she suffers from chronic TMJ from chewing all that wood, but on the up side, she has amazingly powerful jaws and if she wanted to she could pull a small trailer with her teeth. She just doesn’t want to because her TMJ hurts too much not to mention there are a lot better ways to pull a trailer.

Wachieu Ouil'ite



I had dinner at one of those ultra-snooty, fru-fru, hoity toity, fancy schmancy restaurants the other day. One of those places where they give you seventeen forks, I guess to make sure nobody eats with their hands. And the food is stacked so tall you have to carefully deconstruct it like JENGA© before eating it. There's a guy in the bathroom that dispenses everything for you and wipes down the urinal after you pee. You order a steak and they let you choose the steer you want it butchered from. They had a pond which could be seen from the window near our table. It was full of swans and flamingos and anytime anyone ordered fowl of any kind, a person could be seen abducting one of them. Closer inspection revealed they were being released back into the pond just out of view. but the funniest thing about this place was the menu. It read something like this:
