The Zoo Incident

On January 13, Brayden "Plankton" Carlson and Marcus "Old Wet Pog" Heemstra were found "fully clothed" in the chimp pen of the Bramble Park Zoo of Watertown, South Dakota. According to reports from both passerby and police records, the men were hooting and scratching each other, as well as doing mock football plays with an invisible ball. No chimps were injured in the escapade, but Anders "Gulp" Broman reportedly suffered extreme intestinal distress on the bus home. The media dubbed both the chimp pen fiasco and Gulp's bus-diarrhea as "The Zoo Incident", although they are seemingly unrelated.https://www.brambleparkzoo.com/
