So my as my friends have helpfully pointed out, this blog has not been updated in a few days, and you are not getting the dinosaur information that you rely upon it for.
Never fear! Here is a megapost, full of dinosaur-related stand up hilarity/ music just for you! In helpful list format, so that you may bookmark it as a list. I don't really know if anybody else has a "lists" tag, but I find it very helpful. A tip from me to you! Anyway:
1) Eddie Izzard, King of Comedy, giving a thorough and accurate account of the history of Dinosaurs. He brings in a bit of theology as well, to give it some weight. And/or, it is one of the funniest bits of stand up ever performed. It depends on your interpretations of history, I guess.
Enjoy! It's kind of long, but definitely worth it.
2) Aziz Ansari! Walking with Dinosaurs! Dinosaurs are not really the point of this bit, but, still relevant! I used to find Aziz Ansari kind of obnoxious, but then I realized he was actually amazing, so that worked out well! Check out his comedy special "Intimate Moments for a Sensual Evening".
3) Reginasaurus! This is a cute little song by Regina Spektor, all around awesome musician, that is maybe not totally about dinosaurs, but is still adorable and a great idea. I love the opening line, "If I was a dinosaur, I'd be a Reginasaurus."
Reader, what kind of dinosaur would you be? It's possible I would be a Lisasaurus, but perhaps I would be something even wilder. I guess we'll never know, although we can always dream. I choose to believe that if I were a dinosaur, I would have the most fearsome rawr of them all.
4) Bonus! This is not standup or music, but the quote of the day!
"I was walking through the snow pretending to be a dinosaur, going 'rawr' and I thought of you and this blog!"
My goal is to have my name be synonymous with dinosaur news, and this is just the first step.

We would all be Yelsasaurus, which are not that dissimilar from t-rexs
ReplyDeleteI call Petrie from Land Before Time! I don't know why, but everyone who's ever watched that movie with me has decided this.
ReplyDeleteActually, maybe I know why. Petrie eats a lot. Also, cannot fly. To quote Ducky, "Petrie, do not feel sad. It is alright. Many things do not fly. Rocks, trees, sticks, Spike.."
Also, number 4 is amazing. Anytime I pretend to be a dinosaur in the snow now, I'm going to think of you and your blog.
And the last thing is, I sent your blog to my friend at Amherst who likes dinosaurs! Whee publicity!
Sometimes I cry because I love you too much.
ReplyDeleteIt is true I imagine the Yelsasaurus to be as mighty and fearsome as the T-Rex.
ReplyDeleteJing, I hereby declare you sole holder of the title of Petrie. Wear this honor well! And thanks for the publicity!
Morgan, I love you so much.
