Let’s flash forward 2000 years…
The human population (all 6 of them) of earth are huddled round the glowing embers of a fire in a municipal waste chute…
They are tut-tutting at the remains of a tattered pamphlet the soul topic of which is a discourse on the game shows of the early 21stÂ©…
All generally agree that Celebrity Hole-In-The-Wall is an example of how cruel, barbaric and backward the society of that time was…
Suddenly Lord U.S.B. Fridge-Magnet stands up, points to the horizon and shouts…
‘DINOSAURS….!’

Yelling ‘DINOSAURS!!’ in the work place sounds like a great way to perk up the office on a dull afternoon… I may have to try this.

On the subject of men and needle pursuits, it now seems obvious to me that crochet is more macho. This must be what’s meant by the phrase, ‘He has a mean right hook.’

I pointed this entry to a friend of mine and he responded thus…

“Reminds me of an incident from some years ago…
Between Woking and Ottershaw there used to be an Ostrich farm, where the TAG-McLaren hi tech design place is now, back when there was a vogue for such things, although I didn’t know it at the time…
One fine spring morning, while driving to work, I passed said farm, just as a herd of what I initially thought to be velociraptors crested the hill- I put my foot down and made like a tree and left. Later, I found out the truth- I’m glad I didn’t rush into my place of employment shouting ‘DINOSAURS!!!’ at the top of my voice…”
