Quarantine Day 175: We’re starting to crack

• So you’ve heard of Tiger King, right? Who hasn’t? Tigers, murder conspiracies, animal rights, cocaine... everyone’s in on this show. Including me!

I find this to be equal parts upsetting and awe-inspiring. Anyone who has watched the show will understand why.

I wouldn’t be mad, though, if Tiger players started saying, “I saw man!” at random junctures during the game. Or if Mizzou wanted to play the song at games.

I don’t know, y’all. We’re really just trying to get through it, aren’t we?

More Links:

Generally this is where we deposit the Missouri-related links that don’t fit with the bigger theme. HOWEVER, there are only so many of those to go around these days.

So as long as I’m doing links (Mondays and Tuesdays!) I’ll be posting stuff that’s getting me through this craziness.

• Prayers and good thoughts/wishes to country legend John Prine, who is in critical condition amidst his fight with coronavirus.
