I Loved the Zip Trip Show But……………….

Zip Trip Nightmare

Last fridays Fox 25’s “Zip Trip” was a fun event. It was very interesting to see this professional Tv crew put together this event. But there was one thing there that’s been giving me nightmares the last couple of days. First clowns then walking and talking dolls and now Human Lobstas.
