The above user is screaming "MASS PRUNE ME!".

this may be the anti-intellectual part of me, but i think whenever they announce new dinosaurs they ought to have an artist to whip up renditions. when i saw this i was incredibly excited, but hearing about a bone chip or two doesn't really do it for me.

 

[minxnim]

yea i kind of wanted to see a pic too but i imagine they haven't had time yet to really get the entire image of it together?

 

[xfer]

They should embargo the new dinosaur articles until they put something together visually. Sayin'.

 

[minxnim]

yea they should also show the dinosaurs wearing a variety of hats so we can get a full picture.

 

[xfer]

also they should draw the behatted dinosaurs using their claws/teeth/stomping feet/whatever, preferably against a cartoon, say, President Bush. you know, for educational purposes.

 

[minxnim]

yea or against like another dinosaur that is totally more wussy so it's an easy win to show how tough they are. or maybe crushing a giant moth.

 

[xfer]

or one of those lame "early mammals" that look like wimpy, hairy rats.

 

[minxnim]

good idea

 

[xfer]

i just had to rephrase my first suggestion.

at the smithsonian:

alex: "Do you happen to have a graphic of this one here in a hat?"
amanda: "Preferably something sort of sailor-esque if you will...."

 

[xfer]

seriously, the smithsonian NEVER has anything good in its gift shops. i go there wanting trilobite pins/postcards, eurypterid stuff, dinosaurs in hats...nothing!

that's why i was so thrilled by the SFMOMA gift shop--it totally ruled.

 

[minxnim]

that pin rules!
also, i wonder how annoying it would be for people to meet alex and i at the same time? it could probably kill someone.
