First, a rousing anthem! This is a song by They Might be Giants, a band of with lots of famous songs. Most notably, the "Malcolm in the Middle" theme song. (Remember Malcolm in the Middle? What was up with that show? Literally the only thing I remember about it was this extreme close up of Frankie Muniz's face in the credits.) (Also maybe that's not most notably, but come on, we all remember that song)
Officially this is from a kids' album, but, um, read the title of this blog. We're taking it back, bitches. In the place of all of the happy smiling kids jumping around in this spectacular music video masterpiece, imagine you and your college-aged peers.
Admit it, you totally knew it was a Pachycephalosaurus before all those dumbass kids did. We are college students, here us roar. With knowledge!
Secondofly, the second most magical blog in the world, close on the heels of this one.
This is an entire blog of pictures of the singer Michael Buble being stalked by velociraptors, and it is exactly as amazing as it sounds. We have all felt at some point like a velociraptor is following us through our daily motions, just waiting for us to make a false move, but Michael Buble is actually living in such a reality. Or it's photoshopped. I am keeping an open mind.
It is something I didn't know I needed in my life until I had one, much like a snuggie or a giant stuffed T-rex. Although I did have a premonition about the giant stuffed T-rex.
Lastly, and speaking of things you don't know you needed until the exist, I am doing a final project for one of my classes on what I am calling Dinosaur Culture. Yes, loyal fans (all 7 of you!) we are creating a new culture. A better culture. One about the multi-faceted, dangerous yet sexy appeal of dinosaurs. We are Paleontologists!
Also, I strongly recommend having lengthy academic conversations about Dinosaur Culture. Just drop it into any area of study, your professors will surely be delighted.
The bubleraptor blog is almost as awesome as yours! Also you should make it a link.
ReplyDeleteFIRST!!!111!
ReplyDeletemy issue with the michael buble thing is that the raptor definitely looks close enough to strike in many of the pictures--and yet buble still lives. what's up with that?
i wish to be a part of this dinosaur culture.
damn you yelsey. damn you.
ReplyDeleteDoug, I'm so sorry.
ReplyDeleteBut don't worry, the raptor is just waiting for the perfect moment. It would be too obvious if he did it now.
Ben, it is now a handy link!
I did the same thing to F-Bomb last week, I have a magical sense of timing. And thanks lyels!
ReplyDeleteMorgan made fun of the Michael Buble on my ipod on our way to Tennessee - I bet she wishes that the raptor would just eat him already.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lisa for posting the They Might Be Giants song! I went to go see them when they came to Philly for a "Family Show," were mostly sleeping toddlers and their parents...however there was a small cluster of college kids who screamed all the lyrics with us!
ReplyDeleteAlso, good luck on your final project! I can't wait to hear more about Dinosaur Culture!
I AM A PALEONTOLOGIST!!! (and an avid robot lover, so my loyalties are split...) C=
