Okay/Not Okay
by Rex on March 20, 2009People I see on the street ask me questions every day. “Rex, what’s it like to be a dinosaur?” or “Rex, do you have a girlfriend?” or “Rex, why are your arms so little?” (Which is the same as if they asked, “Rex, would you please kill me?”) or “Rex, why are you so awesome?”
Another question I get asked is, “Rex, how do you feel about products with dinosaurs on them?”
The short answer is, “Depends.”
1. For instance, a T-Rex puppet for the kiddies.
This one is okay.
This one, NOT okay.
Guess why? Go ahead. Take a wild guess. I’ll give you a hint: location location location.
2. T-shirts!
These are okay.
NOT okay:
3. Books!
Okay:
Not okay:
4. Lunchboxes.
Okay.
Not Okay.
NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER OKAY!:
I’d tell you how I feel about Barney, but this is supposed to be a PG rated website, and I bet my handler will have a problem if I called Barney a [redacted by Norm the Dino Wrangler].

Awesome post ! – contains at least 99 % active WIN. I’m making tracks to secure one of those (freakishly) short-dino-arm Tees. Love it.

CopySix,
What part of “not okay” is confusing you?
“Not okay” as in I don’t approve of it.
“I don’t approve of it” as in if I see you wearing it I will flatten you.
“I will flatten you” as in you will be dead.
Think about it.
Rex.

Number 1 with the dinosaur puppet made me laugh so hard!
And I know it’s wrong, but I used to love Barney so much as a young child. I also bought my friend a dinosaur-shaped birthday cake pan for her 19th birthday, baked a cake in it, named it Kevin, and ate it. He was delicious, but I miss him.
I know you would frown upon this, partly for our eating him, and partly due to the fact that it was a cute, cartoony dinosaur (when I could have gotten a more realistic looking pan).
I’m sorry.
