Interdimensional Indignation​

Sven Iguanodonssen emerged from the Time-Slip somewhat worse for wear. He hadn't bargained on total dimensional realignment.

The world seemed familiar, a fraction of the size, perhaps, but similar, nevertheless.

A small, somewhat bald, ape-like creature scratched its scruffy head, craned its neck, and looked him over.

“Are you a dinosaur, mister? Like Barney?”

Sven hesitated, then frowned.“Barney, that idiot mail clerk? Do I look intellectually challenged to you, boy?”

Cheeky monkey!

.Oh I can see a funny little thing with a camera, wonder if it will take a picture.

“Hoi over here”

I smile and wave.

The creature turns screaming gibberish ,takes a few snaps then leaves.

“How rude, I wanted a copy”

Back at home,

“ Stupid boy you know that cubicle is restricted”

Dad says throwing an upland paper at me.

The Time Team


‘We have travelled back to the Mesozoic for the Bruhathkayosaurus. Just look at these magnificent animals in their natural habitat. Let’s get closer and see these wonderful animals in their full splendour.’
‘Are we safe here, Tony?’
‘Of course we are; these animals are placid.’
‘That one looks agitated and it’s getting very close.’
‘It’s perfectly safe, c’mon.’
‘Watch out, oh no…are you ok, Tony? Oh God it stinks, we need to dig him out!’

Doin’ the Dino Stomp and Smash

All the kids were doing it. Unfortunately, my kids were doing it, too.
An incessant loud thumping drove me up to their room.
“What’s going on up here?”
“New dance craze, Dad! The Dino Stomp!”
I groaned and looked out their window. The escaped bio-engineered dinosaurs, the obvious inspiration for this latest annoyance, continued to ravage our neighborhood. What next?
“Well,” I said sternly, “I hope your room doesn’t end up looking like our yard.”

Trouble in Paradise

Idly rocking her trolley, Lilith scoured the shelves of Create-o-Mart, scanning manuals detailing emerging mammalian developments and those cataloguing saurian supremacy: "Which first?"

Outside, the saucer hovered above the horsetails cloaking Eden. Aboard, Ga-brel and M'kel studied the read-outs with single, stalked, blue eyes.

"Superior beings identified as reptilian - initiate saurian decommissioning!" barked M’kel.

"Affirmative; Initiate!" Ga-brel relished this, "Exterminate! Exterminate!"

Hiding inside, Lilith comm'd her supervisor, "You ain't gonna Adam an' Eve this!”

Faux Maw​

The two survivors of the expedition were weaving through the jungle as the last Velociraptor pursued them.

"What do we do?" Jenkins yelled.

"I don't know! Maybe punch them in the nose -- like a shark," the Professor said, gasping for air.

The young student turned around and charged the dinosaur. The Professor didn't stop running, and gritted his teeth when the screaming began. Poor ******* never did understand sarcasm…

DESTROY – DO NOT SELL…..EVER!



Toby was excited.

His ‘show and grow’ would be the best in school; since he’d learned about earth’s extinction and subsequently finding ‘Dried Dinosaur’ boxes in the Jupiter Mart.

Reading the instructions, he placed them in the shopping trolley:

.........·Tyrannosaurus Rex….add one quart spaceship fuel, ground moon-rock.

.........·Velociraptor……add a splash of spaceship fuel, tablespoon mars dust.

Next day:

......Experiment done,

............Dinosaurs growing,

..................Kids screaming,

........................Bewildered shopkeeper holding the label found in the trolley…..

Big Problem, Big Solution, Big Problem


'Professor McSquibbly, you claim to have solved the Lunar food crisis.'

'Yes, using fossilised DNA from Earth we've genetically engineered a fast growing dinosaur whose flesh tastes like chicken. One adult Ratherasaurus provides enough protein rich meat to feed a family for an entire year.'

'A remarkable achievement. How did you decide on the name?'

'Well, the human digestive system has trouble, err... processing the meat, so you can be left with rather a sore ….'

Nuts


Ronald Raygun, scaly lord of the Triasskick, roared at Andsdroppedov, amputee Tyrannoczar of the Cretinaceous.

‘Cross that ditch and our asteroid weapon will destroy you!’

‘Try it!’ thundered Andsdroppedov. ‘Ours will destroy you!’

Two squirrels arrived in a shopping trolley.

One whispered to Raygun that Andsdroppedov thought him senile. The other did likewise with Andsdroppedov.

Brainless bellowing ensued. Buttons were pressed. The squirrels hid in their underground nut store and waited to inherit the earth.

My New Tyrannosaur 5500
​

“Evan, come see what I’ve bought today.”

“What‘s that?”

“It’s our monthly model. It’s a dinosaur that comes with a chip that allows it to move and make noise.”

Daddy put the chip in the charger. They assembled the model. With all anticipation, Daddy put the chip into the dinosaur and set it on the floor.

The dinosaur began chasing its tail. Even looked curiously at Daddy. “Was that a fart?”

Extinction

At the UN, the Chinese delegate paused mid-rant, noticing his American counterpart turning to mist. Horrified, he noticed he was becoming insubstantial himself.

The audience faded as Justin Bieber began his song.

At Monaco, the finish line disappeared as the winning car crossed it.

Newhart sat up with a scream!

“What’s wrong?” his wife asked, bleary-eyed.

Reassured, he brushed her blue-green scales with his three-fingered hand.

“I had the strangest dream…”

Palaeo Rock

There are wrecked tyranosaurus, diplodocus, stegasaurus in the rock.
As inhabitants before us, you invoke us and implore us to restock.
An existence quite Pink Floydal until impact asteroidal's aftershock.

Fossilised in rocks (Oh hatchling)
Pterodactyl flocks
Billions on clocks
Evolution mocks.
The world palaeological , tempo geological, it rocks.


Trilobite, ichthyosaurus, excavate us, you'll adore us, we're the tops
Not easy to decide iguanodon to ride, triceratops
Introducing mountain Jura to selection of cinematographic flops.​

And…cut to the weather!

“…thanks, Bob. I’m here in front of Tesco, where the flock of Microraptors are nesting. PreHisTech have issued a public apology for the incident, but say there is nothing to be alarmed about as the colourful little reptiles are perfectly harmless, and no others escaped following the security breach. This puts paid to the rumours of Allosaurs roaming the - Jesus, look at the size of that thing! Are you getting this? Run! Run!”

“Everyone stay still, this is going to be hilarious.” said Tre.

The bridge was dimly lit.

The doors hissed open.

“Morning cre… Erm, hello?”

Snigger.

“Who’s there? Tre is that you?”

“Captain on the bridge.”

“Wh-”

Snigger.

“Now.”

Everyone jumps out.

“SURPRISE!”

“ARGH!” Pfffftttttt!

“Bahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!” snot flies from Tre’s nose.

Captain Rex glared at the prone Triceratops’.

“65 million years and it never gets old.” Tre snorted.

“ I hate you.” Rex Muttered

Consumer Goods


“But, Dad ...”

“No. I don’t trust the scientists from Rex Inc.”

“But Edward Granger has a Rex. It’s only little.”

“The Grangers have more money than sense.”

“I want a dinosaur! I want one. Want one!”

Across the street a sign lights up: a newsflash. BOY EATEN BY ROGUE REX.
Peter Smith lifts one eyebrow.

“I want one. Now!” Johnny Smith stomps about the pavement.

“I’m rapidly warming to the idea,” his father replies.

Circular Evolution

"Professor Brontosaurus, how do we know that man once ruled this world?"

"There is much proof in the ruins of America, that the Jersey-sapiens ruled with a tanned fist."

"Why did they fall?"

"Their overexposure to radiation brought them to an end."

"Like an asteroid?"

"No class, fake bake and tanning beds did them in."

"Then we evolved from lizards? Impossible?"

"Forever a hard head, pachycephalo."

“Gentlemen, in our recent Belizean expedition we discovered…”

“Stop wasting our time,” came a shout from the audience.

“Very well then. Gentlemen, I present the real reason the Dinosaurs died”

The picture on the large screen changed

“I assure you, it has been dated by several methods… ”

The meeting broke into a chaos of shouting. In the picture the letters MARLBORO, on the small red cardboard box in the amber, glared balefully down.

The Interrogation

Grand Inquisitor Kavak clicked off the persuasion device and looked his victim square in the face.

“Are you going to cooperate and give us Earth’s defense codes? Or must we move on to other methods?”

Silence from the prisoner.

“Grand Inquisitor, he’s too well-trained. He will give us nothing.”

“We need this one. He’s got millions of years of information.”

Silence.

“Forget it. Just beam this ‘Trex Fos-Sil’ back to the Natural History Museum.”
