Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for October 18, 2023

The safari pop quiz was quite motivational

From the width of that lion’s beam, I’d say Leon has a good chance of out running him.

Supposedly, lions won’t attack an open safari bus like that because they don’t consider the vehicle prey. Humans are ignored unless they get out onto the ground.

Interactive experiences are so much more exciting.

LOL at this one.

Oh for cryin’ out loud, will somebody herd Clarence back into the “jungle” he thinks it’s so funny to chase the tourists. I swear, if we lose any bookings…..

By the time they return home, they’ll be lion about it.

There are rules about “not feeding the animals”.

The animals do not have the same/similar rules.

Better than scratch and sniff

African version of Uber Eats.

This made me laugh way too much. I especially like the interested expression of the woman looking over her seatback.

Make other plans for the weekend. The new Ballard Drive-Thru All-You-Can-Eat Zoo & Cafeteria is now closed for some reason.

Oh no, this canopy happening!!

Come on, gimme African break!!

The lion’s not interested in her, safari as she can tell.

Clarence’s attempted escape from the Park by disguising as a Tourist is severely tested by a Packers Fan…

“ROAR!” (“The Lions are too going to the Super Bowl!”)

I have never paid much attention to what the rear of a lion looks like, but gosh that’s huge.

“You’ll be sooo close to the action…”

Safari tours are entertaining. Just how they’re entertaining depends on your species.

Audience participation is sooo over-rated.

Run Forrest Run!

So, so … haptic! :)

Good morning Balladeers!

Hilarious, must have clicked on the wrong box!

Does the fun ever start?

Clarence has eaten too many tourists.
