In my defense, I've been busy quitting a terrible internship, writing mediocre sketches, and e-mailing friends who are inexplicably far far away from me. Many of you, for instance. But enough about me. Dinosaurs!
First order of business:
This one is kind of complicated, dinobros.

According to this article, the triceratops did not actually exist! I know! Whaaaat? It turns out there's something called a "torosaurus", and the triceratops is just the juvenile version. First of all, what the fuck is a torosaurus? I preach love for all dinosaurs, but come on. If anything, the torosaurus should be a grown up, lesser version of the tricerotops.
I say, take action! Pluto never left our hearts, and neither will the triceratops. What would Sara from "The Land Before Time" say? Something completely bitchy to cover up her angst-ridden, secretly nice interior. Do we want to lose that awesome a character? Sarah dared to take a stand! We owe it to her to do the same.
However! The good news is that there's a reason the triceratops is a different version is because dinosaur skulls can shift shapes. If this isn't proof that dinosaurs are magic, than I don't know what is. Also, things are looking up for my theory that dinosaurs are actually still alive and just waiting for the right moment to strike.
(Sidenote: Hopefully they will look upon me favorably due to this fan blog)
Secondly: This dude!
You may not agree with him, but you can't deny that he knows his stuff. I'll be honest, I didn't know all of the dinosaurs named in this video.
Anyway! It's kind of delightful! I recommend watching it, unless you already have, in which case you can make your own decision.
So for real this time, I'm going to update more regularly. I'll be on the look out for any dinosaur- related business, and please send me anything relevant!
NEXT POST: T-Rex from "Toy Story", and why he's my favorite of all time.
I was JUST talking to Janessa about this.
ReplyDeleteIt's the worst thing since they decided to make the Brontosaurus change it's name to Apatosaurus!
Science may take away our pluto, but they will never take away our Triceratop!
Also, FIRST!
Ankylosaurus invented cupcakes.
ReplyDeleteDan: Agreed! I did just read that they're keeping the name triceratops and changing the torosaurus's name, though, so...problem solved, I guess.
ReplyDeleteBen: Among the Ankylosaurus' lesser known, but more significant accomplishments.
AGREEMENT about the brontosaurus thing. You know, children who have their names changed when they are very young suffer psychological damage for the rest of their lives. I can't believe they would subject the brontosaurus to that with so little concern for its wellbeing.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm coming home today, what up.
