Three Things

[snurri]

One, my brother Steve is raising money for the Animal Humane Society's Walk for Animals. Steve works at the Golden Valley branch of the Humane Society, and they do good work there. Check out his page, and send some cash his way if you're so inclined.

Two, I won't be online much today due to an unexpected road trip. Long story short, if you're in Marshall, Minnesota and are going to see Kelly Link and Alan DeNiro read tonight at SMSU, looks like you may be getting me as well. Should be fun.

Three, I was watching the Discovery Channel yesterday and I found out that people are trying to reverse genegineer dinosaurs from birds. This will be important later, I think. Take notes.

If we can't have zombies, I think marauding dinosaurs would be an acceptable alternative.

Someone really does need to recognize our need for dangerous creatures that want to eat us.

I wish! That's a dream-team reading. Have fun...

In my previous life as a preschool teacher, I once went on a field trip to the Golden Valley Humane Society. Another teacher had set up the trip but was sick that day so I and the other teachers spent the whole morning looking at each of these animals which we all knew were slated for death and watching how the kids delighted at the kittens and cats and dogs and birds, blissfully unaware of their impending doom. Occasionally we made comments to one another cursing the teacher who set up this cruel and inhumane field trip. We were in agony. It was at the very end of the field trip, right before we got the kids ready to leave, when the tour guide says to the adults, "Oh, by the way, this is a no-kill shelter." The general consensus was a collective wondering of why couldn't she have said that first.

I found out that people are trying to reverse genegineer dinosaurs from birds.

Do you think they might engineer Éiden's favorite dinosaur, the Mountainbuttsaurus?

Ouch! That sounds like a painful field trip.

I believe the Mountainbuttsaurus would have to be reverse-engineered from the infamous Ass Bird.

You know, I think a chicken is an excellent choice for reverse-engineering a T-Rex. They are evil, stupid, and frightening.

I hope the reading went well; I'm very sorry I missed it.

It was a lot of fun; too bad it couldn't have been on a night when others might feel like making a three-hour drive just to watch us :-)
