Stolen Dinosaur!

Who does this? Even when I was teenager drinking peach wine out of a cask I never stole or vandalised other people’s property. The new owners have spent many thousands making over the Dino Museum and now some numnuts does this. Even if the guilty party is found all they’ll get is a stern talking to and a finger waggle. I despair for humanity at times.

Despair about children being bombed in Afghanistan, or bus rides in Delhi, not someone liberating a dinosaur statue. Not that important!

No this is not as important as war/the status of women but that’s not what this post is about. It’s about a member of our local community, a business that my family and I visit many times a year being vandalised by d-bags with no respect for other people’s property. I’m sick of people using the notion of ‘first world problems’ to try and minimise legitimate issues.

No this is not the work of humans for i’m sure i saw a giant pterosaur hovering over the museum the other night clearly visible from bundah although peyote does do strange things to one’s perception.

After reading your drone I wondered to myself, How do we know that this dinosaur was not Al-queda affiliated?

Don’t pull the “1st world problems” BS out Poetix, a catastrophe this is not, but we all know you’re better than that. Having said that, I don’t think every drunken teenager is as conscientious as you, JazzyJess, I sure wasn’t.

Well thanks for that disillusioning little introduction to Canberra’s gutter…

Christ, it makes this place seem highbrow…

Me and 3 mates flogged that dinosaur statue from out the front of the dinosaur museum the other night. F***ing thing came off in like 2 mins. Threw it in the ute and went and threw the thing off the lookout down at the s***works in Holt. Funniest s*** I’ve ever seen!

There’s a lookout at the sewer works in Holt?!? I hope that’s on the Canberra tourism list of attractions! hahaha!

Technically, it is looking away from the LMWQCC (poo-city), down the Molongolo River.

…and it is on plenty of tourism lists.

Two thoughts (a lot for a Monday morning on one coffee!)

Firstly, apparently a Utahraptor was spotted in Melbourne … http://io9.com/5933960/a-woman-and-her-pet-utahraptor-go-traipsing-through-the-streets-of-melbourne

Secondly, ask MrRabbit Tony Abbott and the Coalition herd; apparently the collective noun for real dinosaurs is a Coalition of dinosaurs!

(Of course Labor is on target for the collective noun of those furry coconut covered chocolate critters that hurl themselves off cliffs … lemmingtons or is that lemmings?)
