Wouldn't that be "Ms. Dawn Key?"

I guess my fish (Eric) will be fine.

Mr. Ty Gir
Ms. Ellie Funt
Mr. Jerr Raff
Mr. Ryan Osserus

I think you'll find Mr. Hugh G. Rection over there by the goat pen.

Hey, I actually know a guy named Don Key. Poor bastard.

Mr. Lee Zerd

Lee Murh not amused.

Will Anne Teeter be available, though?

Shouldn't there be two esses in the tag on this one?

/or is that s's?

Will they be hiring Moe Szyslak to field those calls?

"You little S.O.B.! Why, when I find out who you are, I'm going to shove a sausage down your throat and stick starving dogs in your butt!"

Not amused

phlegmmo: Let's ask Anne Elk. She has a theory.

Anne Elle Leefunt
Anne Elle Leegadur, or Ellie Gaydar

GrooveMonkeyZero: Hey, I actually know a guy named Don Key. Poor bastard.

I came here to say that my mother plays bridge w/ a guy named Don Kies.

KingoftheCheese: Precious Roy-- it is very boring. I've never been bored enough to prank call a zoo, but it sucks here.

Says you. I find the CornCam to be downright riveting.

I'm plotting this joke tomorrow on a co-worker, so I'm really getting a kick out of these replies...

I live in Iowa and I'm bored as all get-out, so I'm getting a big kick... no actually I don't get a big kick out of anything.

GrooveMonkeyZero: Hey, I actually know a guy named Don Key. Poor bastard.

Does he put on a good show?

It's official!

There is NOTHING to do in Iowa.

I don't get what the article is trying to convey.

has set up four hotlines for pranksters looking to dupe others. Numbers have been set up for such April Fools standbys as "Mr. Albert Ross," "Mr. C. Lyon," "Ms. Anna Conda," and the aforementioned "Mr. Don Key."

So...How are people going to know to call these numbers? Was there some advertising campaign instructing pranksters to call these special numbers instead of the normal number? Or has the menu on the main number been replaced with, "For Mr. Don Key, press 6. For Mr. Albert Ross, press 7."? Or does the operator dump such calls into specific prerecorded messages? I honestly have no idea what they've "done".

I guess I'll just have to call tomorrow and find out.

"Marketing director Ryan Bickel says the lines are a proactive attempt to stop the zoo's switchboard from getting flooded with prank calls without dampening the mood of the day."

Get off my lawn!

jtown: GrooveMonkeyZero: Hey, I actually know a guy named Don Key. Poor bastard.

What jtown may look like:
hotter than Kinky Kelly

brap: Or as mamma brap used to tell me whenever I'd whine to her I was bored. "Well, that means you're boring."

My 5yo daughter invariably uses the phrase "Dad, I'm a little bored." I've started responding that she can't be a big bored, she's too small for that.

I don't think she gets it. Yet. As soon as she does I'll get the teenage eyeroll...14 years early.

Makollig Jezvahted and Levdaroum DeBahzted usually just take their phone off the hook all day on April 1st.

Fuggin Bizzy: 14 years early

8 years early. I are teh good at math.

/It's the pale ale...

BobNesta420: I find the CornCam to be downright riveting.

at moments like this, I so love the internet.

Just leave a phone message for a coworker stating that Harry Lyon called. Leave the phone number to the zoo for them to call back.

Sarah Jessica Farker: I came here to say that my mother plays bridge w/ a guy named Don Kies.

I want to know if their parents realized what they were doing.

G. Raffe and Gar Illa still going to be paged, I see

Goodfella: Not amused

thank you, came for this and was not disappointed.

Wait, what animal is "Albert Ross" supposed to sound like?

This sounds like one of those asinine minor league baseball P.R. stunts. Every nitwit P.R. guy thinks he's the next Bill Veeck.

Darkraven: Wait, what animal is "Albert Ross" supposed to sound like?

culebra 2009-03-31 07:08:46 PM <-- That one.

Precious Roy's Horse Dividers: Wow, Iowa must be pretty farking boring.

Well its not the gun to your head, "give me all your money or I'll rape your daughter in front of you" fun that you may find in Chicago, LA or New York but we do what we can. It's more like "We're surrounded by 5 billion acres of corn so you wanna fark?" kind of fun.

Mr. Don Quixote?

"Thank you for calling the Iowa City Zoo, Harry Knotts speaking, how may I direct your call?"

Mr. John Smith


/got nuthin'

I just know that it's around your neck...
