Dinottack! Or, in which I hopelessly mimic DarkMite

Took what was supposed to be a pleasant trip up to Drumheller and the Dinosaur Provincial Park this weekend.



Oh, yeah. Oooh, ahhh.. that's how it always starts. Then later there's running.. and screaming..

After some sight-seeing, we decided it would be nice to get out of the sun, so we went to check out the lush in-door prehistoric forest on site.


A short time later we heard a deep, powerful buzzing sound.. growing louder by the second, when suddenly a GIANT DRAGONFLY whips past our heads - of all the times to leave the 12 foot bug-zapper at home!


We were still reeling from the shock of seeing an extinct creature carelessly cruising past us, so much so that we barely noticed another Cretaceous era critter lurking nearby.


Oh, nice boy. I thought you were one of your big brothers. You're not so bad!


Man, there's a cute little prehistoric lizard roaming around here too, this is so neat!

Wrong!

DINO ATTACK!

Ever wonder how a gargantuan dinosaur like a T-rex managed to sneak up on characters in the Jurassic Park films? Well let me tell you, dudes got ninja stealth training cause they really do come out of NOWHERE. Perhaps the cute lil one acts as a decoy, who knows? Dr. Grant in the house?


We narrowly avoid those monster jaws and thankfully the beast continued in search of less agile prey. We run a gauntlet of determined dino diners trying to make our way back to safety outside.. and at last we see sunlight pouring through the glass entrances. Praise Jurassic Jesus, we made it!


It's a trap!


Those clever, carnivorous Raptors were waiting on the rooftop and pouncing on hapless citizens fleeing the compound. I feel like such a Muldoon. I only wish I could have snapped more photos of the chaos and bloodshed to better document the frankly horrific events, but we had more pressing matters to attend to. Namely, a very big, very pissed-off Ceratopsian.

Unfortunately for this bloke, I'm a pretty avid dinosaur enthusiast and I recognized his species as herbivores. People were being torn asunder all around us and a lousy vegitarian is all that's standing in our way? I realized I must subdue the mighty beast and summoned forth the essence of one Brett Hart to battle.


Wrestlemania CCCCXXXXXIIIIIVVV B.C.


When the dust settled, we had gained newfound respect for one another, and embraced as comrades before continuing our seperate ways.


Those veggiesaurs just couldn't leave well enough alone though, and a Triceratops tried to reassert the dominance of his species. By this point I'd had more than enough messing around and squared up with the big lug for fisticuffs.


We both get our licks in and just as I have the horned bugger punch-drunk and against the ropes, a filthy Pteradactyl swoops in and snatches me off to the skies.

He doesn't like it when I take out the spare pair of pliers I always keep around and start playing "dentist" in there and spits me out mid-flight. Fortune has finally smiled on me this day and I'm back to the parking lot, time to leave this damned dino disaster but good!

Wait. Anybody hear that? It's an... It's an impact tremor, that's what it is... I'm fairly alarmed here.



And that's when the biggest beastie of them all came strolling by, and I found myself stumbling with the pounding of each spectacular step. The day had been akin to pure nightmare, but I still could not help but stare in wide-eyed wonder at such a magnificant creature.


And as the living colossus that hours ago felt like but a distant dream stomped his way into the horizon, all the questions and confusion I was having faded in the back of my mind and I was left with but a single thought.

Remind me to thank John for a lovely weekend.

Trejo, Trejo... clever girl.

My attempts to recruit you into the Crypto Scouts have failed. You've decided to go rogue and become... a RIVAL. Best of luck to you. It's never too late to come back to us.

All will be forgiven. But never forgotten.

On the contrary, I was hoping to use this on my application for the Crypto Scouts (I'm short on other applicable experience). You don't see Barney the dinosaur trying to out-rampage-through-Tokyo Godzilla now do you?

Ah, well-played. Congrats on your encounters. The organization will be recruiting soon. Stand by for details.
