Red, white and blue elephants want parade rights     

    You have probably seen elephants before. Most Elephants are gray and wrinkly, but human zoo keepers accidentally changed that. Pepeekooz Ekaf, a zookeeper at Missouri, Illinois Zoo, said, "We [The other zookeepers and I] were just spray  painting the fences, and then we went for a drink. We came back out five minutes later, they were red, white and blue." That only counts for half of the story.

     Obviously, nobody could interview the elephants, but there is a video tape. Basically, the keepers forgot their spray paint and the elephants took the spray paint into their cage. They sat down, and figured out how to activate the spray paint, actually, Stnahpele Eulb figured that one out all on her own, and the others followed suit. 

     The spray paint, however, was non-toxic, so the elephants weren't hurt. That's the bright side. The bad side is that it only took a minute to dry, and it was permanent; don't think they didn't try. Edud Repeekooz said, "We gave them [the elephants] about ten baths each, but it just wouldn't come off."

     The elephants do look quite pretty, and could have been a great tourist attraction. Except it wasn't. The spray paint, Lael Yllaer Ton, gave the elephants special powers. Above, it was said that they were not available for interview, but it wasn't because they couldn't talk; they can talk, as it turns out. It was more because they were so angry at the world that they might have eaten the reporters, and nobody needs that.

    The three of them want rights to have their own parade. The court consistently overrules them, saying that three is not enough for a parade, but the elephants are smarter than that. In court, they said, "It's the fourth of July for crying out loud, and it's supposed to celebrate independence. C'mon, man, you can't possibly forget that."

    A lot could go wrong, or a lot could go right. It just depends on how angry they are. We'll have to find out on that one.

Jimmy Rollins gives Cat right to seats at any Dodgers game this season

    This year, Jimmy Rollins and Cat have been developing a good friendship, and friends, it isn't over yet. Jimmy Rollins told Cat that she could go to any Dodgers game she wanted as long as it was at home and she emailed him a week in advance. Pretty sweet deal, right?

     Cat sure thought so. "It's just so great. I mean, Rollins is like, my life long hero, and now I get to see him, like all the time. I am a true Phillies Phan, but they really stink right now, and the Dodgers have guys like Joc Pederson; I am so excited."

     Cat also thought we should mention that Rollins should totally radio announce for the Phils once he retires. Just saying.

Cat to apply for Phillies, says they couldn't get any worse 

     If Cat were to play for the Phillies, could they possibly get any worse? The answer is no, of course not. You would have to work really, really hard to be worse than the Phillies. (Right now, they're the only team without at least 30 wins.)

     Cat says, "I just want a couple weeks or so of big league time; it'll look nice on my resume." And she's right, they just can't get worse, with or without her. Maybe, just maybe, the Phills will accept her application.
