Just when you thought it was safe to go out without seeing or hearing a Sharknado reference, one pops up at a place you wouldn’t expect it: A Washington Nationals game.
At Friday’s game against the Dodgers (which the Nationals lost), a “Sharknado” chased the racing presidents, defeating George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft. Abraham Lincoln, however, was able to outrun the fake shark inside a tornado. Probably not historically accurate, but it does sound like a great plot for a movie called Abraham Lincoln: Sharknado Hunter.
Yes, at this point, another mention of Sharknado probably has you saying “Sharkna-NO!” (Ugh.) But perhaps the sight of an adult in a shark suit with a cardboard tornado wrapped around them chasing large-headed presidents may make you smile on a Monday morning. Nationals fans need the pick-me-up, considering how corpse-flowery the season has been thus far.
