MY DINOSAUR PAGE
I've always loved dinosaurs. I've had them since I was five years old. They were better than monsters. Monsters weren't real. Dinosaurs were real, although they aren't around for me to experience their reality. They actually looked they way they did. No one came up with the image of a dinosaur in their head.
I like the different colors of toy dinosaurs. I am very colorcentric. I like a blend of rich colors.
I've been collecting them now for almost fifty years. I have a pretty good collection for not being a rich guy. I put it out on the internet for you all to enjoy. We have already seen some of my very early pieces.
I jokingly clasify dinosaurs into two types - fun and mean. The ones that aren't smiling and all that, I just sometimes refer to them as "mean". They aren't necessarily mean. They are just more serious in being dinosaurs. Being a dinosaur is not a game to them, but I sometimes refer to them as mean or serious. But other dinosaurs are smiling like they just won the lottery. I call them the fun group. Those are more for kids. Most grownups prefer the "mean" or serious dinosaurs.
The first group I will introduce will be a smiling group. The next chapter will have a lot of happy, smiling dinosaurs. After that we get more serious starting with dinosaurs from the Marx Company. There will be a lot of serious dinos and a few breaks in between with smiling goofy friendly dinosaurs such as Dinosaur Train and Playskool.
Dinosaurs are interesting creatures. Dinosaurs enjoyed music sometimes. It's true. It's shown in the pictures.
Look at that gleam in his eye as he plays the gitar.
A friend sings along.
More are singing along.
Now everybody is singing.
"Take me ..... to the river .... where I can eat ... Brontosaurus. La le la la. Then eat some ....... Iquanodon - What a day. ...... So much fun. La le la la."
That's a pretty catchy toon. Now I will probably keep hearing it in my head all day.
Dinosaurs ate a lot of fruit, even the meat eaters. They loved juicy oranges. This guy looks like he is trying to shoot a three pointer.
There wasn't always fresh fruit around. Dinos had to eat what was there to get their nutrition.
These DinoFroz dinosaurs opened up a can of pineapple tidbits. I didn't know they had can openers back then. I guess they had to. Otherwise they would not have been able to open cans.
Tyrannosaurus types went for the pineapple chunks. Most plant eaters favored the tidbits. The prissy Parasaurolophuses, however, always chose the pineapple rings.
This pack of dinosaurs tore up a mellon. They are like pirannahs. Dinosaurs love watermelon.
Dinosaurs also loved candy,especilally chocolate. They had gigantic prehistoric sweet tooths. This herd of Woolly Mammoths devours a container of chocolate buffalos from Wegmans.
The Smilodon pack ignores the Woolly Mammoth herd while they gobble down some chocolate buffaloes.
Another group of Smilodons are eating from a bag of tiger nuts that came from Nuts.com. Smart choice as they have a lot of nutrition. They are organic too. It says on the label.
It's funny. While I was taking these pictures, the song "Eye Of The Tiger" came on. I swear this is true. I didn't rig it this way either. I have my playlist set to random and that is what played.
Dinosaurs were a lot like humans. They suffered from peer pressure. That could be intense since the teasing was often very harsh. These are dinosaurs, not butterflies. The example below illustrates the natural cruelty that can come from dinosaur peer pressure. A poor Pachycephalosaurus is the victim of heavy verbal abuse.
"What's that ugly thing on your neck? Oh it's your head. Ha ha ha!"
It was an ugly dinosaur that made the insult, but we can't see his face.
Sometimes the insults would lead to outright fighting. These two Superior brand Megatherium are going at it in the rock garden. It started when the one jokingly called out to the other "Hey Triceratops breathe." He had the other's hand in his mouth before he could finish his insult. He started punching too, but most of both of their punches were missing or hurting their hands. The fighting looked a little sloppy. Neither of these bears was a future Mike Tyson. No embarrassing face tatoos for these guys.
They were slapping and pulling hair and ridiculing each other with more yo mama jokes. It really got ugly - especially with the yo mama jokes. I've seen more than one Allosaurus cry after being the victim of a good set of yo mama jokes. If you can make an Allosaurus cry, you've done well.
Here is the dinosaur that was making fun of the Pachycephalosaurus a little while back. Isn't he a looker?
