HORRIBLE BUMMER: The Africkan Creature that ran through the streets of Atlanta on one memorable rush hour not too long ago has been put down. Apparently he messed up his hooves on his crazy walkabout, and they could not be fixed, and so he was killt. SAD. [Atlanta Journal-Constitution]

DEATH PANELS
Poor thing. Should have ridden MARTA.
“It was very much a quality of life issue,”
Nothing improves life quite like the cessation of it.
African creature. Haha, reminds me of Kato Kalin: “I saw somebody walking across the, uh, uh, green stuff, ya know, uh, grass.

If you try to escape from your cage, you will be injured by the crumbling infrastructure and killed by the men in charge. A comment on America.
Perhaps they can take the carcass to Sea World and feed it to that blood thirsty Killer Whale.
[re=529386]Mr Blifil[/re]: Shhhhh. Sarah Palin might hear you and think you were talking about Trig.
It just goes to show that, no matter how hard they try, zebras cannot REALLY fit into the true culture of Atlanta.
Orval Faubus and his descendants proved right after all: This is what happens when you put blacks and whites together.
[re=529386]Mr Blifil[/re]: “MARTA? I don’t see no MARTA here. Who’s MARTA?”
Excuse me, are you down with this whole social justice thing?
We had to kill him, or else he would have died.
I’m just going to keep saying that over and over today, whatever the context.
Mmmm. Safari Cookout.
Also….HAPPY BIRTHDAY NEWELL!
He was “put down?” So it was made fun of by the non-African creatures?
[re=529407]Gopherit[/re]: from the old MST3K ep, Jungle Goddess: A white man is about to be served his first meal in a jungle village, when he’s informed they’re eating a zebra. “Hmm… dark and white meat!”
[re=529412]Mild Midwesterner[/re]: C’mon, half-white, half-black? The humor possibilities are too tempting to ignore.
His feets done failed him, I guess.
Stephen Jay Gould had an excellent essay on zebras and why morphology isn’t always the best determinant of what a species is. Turns out there are actually three species of zebra, one far less closely related than the other two. It’s not as tricky as you might have thought to get stripes on a horse — a lot of different combinations can produce the effect. Although I prefer an outdoor latex semi-gloss.
To save the feet, we had to kill the body.
Finally, print media is no longer the only answer to the age-old question “What’s black and white and dead all over?”
[re=529424]SayItWithWookies[/re]: For the record, no comment should ever begin with the words “Stephen Jay Gould had an excellent essay…”
[re=529443]Mr Blifil[/re]: Oh, I’m sorry — Stephen Jay Gould had a most excellent essay…
If that Afrikaan fella had insurance, this would never have happened.
What was the zebra thinking? Didn’t he ever see ROOTS.
Perhaps the orca messed up his teeth?
I will never get tired of that picture.
I think this is a great way to feed the homeless in Atlanta.
Watch out Fido and LOL cats-they’ll be adding you to the menu soon.
The zebra bolted when it realized that they were training it to ref a Sweet Sixteen game in Houston.
[re=529392]Naked Bunny with a Whip[/re]: Today, we are all zebras running away, having escaped from our cages.
