Hi,

In our homage to recent reminders that we do not reign over the animal kingdom, we present When Tigers Attack: The Laugh Track. (cue: dramatic music and host Stone Phillips).

Eerily foreboding, Jessi Campbell's reminder that kids are not tiger food made us ask ourselves, what if babies tasted like bacon? Wouldn't we try to eat them too? Because, come on, bacon is delicious!

But if you've ever wanted to take a baseball bat to your fax machine, then you'll relate to Tammy Pescarelli's version of the tiger attack at the zoo. If you haven't, then you probably live in your parents' basement.

Ironically-named band Survivor probably never imagined they would inspire not one, but two (!!!) of our January newsletter featured clips, but that was before zoos stopped building walls to regulation height. Hear Jon Evans holler his way through Eye of the Acapella Tiger, and let Craig Robinson of The Office tell you when it's time to rock out to the classic 1982 hit.

So what have we learned today? First of all, that the Grim Reaper has a sense of humor, as Jimmy Roulette explains in You shouldn't laugh at death? Secondly, we learn that zoos are unsafe, so you'd best spend your time at one of our premier partner clubs across the country checking out comedy that doesn't bite. Unless you ask it to, politely.

Warm and cozy regards,

Your friends at Rooftop.
