I'm a dino hunter!
Can't be a sweet dino hunter...that'd be an oxymoron...
OK, I give up. You can have the lead role! Biggest, baddest Dino. Leader of the pack. But we can make you a handsome bad Dino. You can't be a Dino hunter unless you can play the John Wayne Dino character. Somehow I don't think you would do a good John Wayne - except for the strut, maybe!
Laureen wrote: "OK, I give up. You can have the lead role! Biggest, baddest Dino. Leader of the pack. But we can make you a handsome bad Dino. You can't be a Dino hunter unless you can play the John Wayne Di..."Awww, that really hurts, Laureen...bwah bwah...
Now I will be crying throughout the movie because Laureen don't find me macho enough to pull of a John Wayne style character...
However, I'm sure once I'm with all the female dinos (on camera of course...) I'll soon forget all about your scepticism and quickly cheer up ;)
Yeah - depends on your costume! Harry better make it convincing otherwise the chic Dinos might think you are a bit puny!
Laureen wrote: "Yeah - depends on your costume! Harry better make it convincing otherwise the chic Dinos might think you are a bit puny!"I cannot hear you anymore, Laureen, as these female dinos are noisy...Your critiques are falling on deaf ears...
Sorry, honey!
STOP IT, James. My belly laughs are starting to hurt! Human females can be noisy too so I have a vivid picture of those noisy female Dinos. Poor James! I hope John Wayne Dino is fairly close; you will need rescuing.
James is a pussycat....really. But seriously, James? Dinosaurs?
I am fully in the billion year old earth. whilst I am Anglican...the bible is not meant to be taken literally....it's a story! Obviously Abraham did NOT live to be 900+++ years old...nor Isaac or Joseph or anyone else....how did they live that long, but New Testament people only lived to normal ages.....25, 30, 50, perhaps 80 years?
and as for (possible) dinosaur pictures..well...they found bones also...I'm quite sure we (the current scientists) weren't the first to dig up the past
This movie sounds fabulous already. Hooray for the curvy dino gals.
What did I miss? I've been cast in a movie and I didn't even turn up for the audition.Trust me Laureen, James is more butch than me! :)
Harry wrote: "What did I miss? I've been cast in a movie and I didn't even turn up for the audition.Trust me Laureen, James is more butch than me! :)"
Hey come on now, Harry...You're destroying the faith a woman has placed in you...That's never a wise thing to do...
I mean, sure Laureen thinks you are a 7 foot tall Adonis muscle God who struts like John Wayne (apparently that's a good thing) and effortlessly kills dinos with his bare hands, but why destroy the myth?
Milk it brother, milk it for all its worth.
Play the lead role and get all the rewards.
Just start taking the steroids now and it'll all work out fine by the time filming starts ;)
Are any vegetarian smokers hunks? :) Ahum, I mean, ahum, apart from me that is, ahum.
Krishna wrote: "I will not get any role?"Yes, you can be the girl who is the equivalent of a horse whisperer. You speak the secret language of the dinos. Whispering in T-Rex's ear.
Harry wrote: "Are any vegetarian smokers hunks? :) Ahum, I mean, ahum, apart from me that is, ahum."Best to keep that quiet I think, Harry.
Last I heard Laureen only likes meat eaters and her previous posts (if memory serves me correctly) indicate she doesn't dig vegie eaters and thinks they're nuts...
I should warn you Laureen comes from Queensland - a part of Australia where they breed "blokes" very tough...Men's men such as the great Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin (RIP).
Men are blokes and women are sheilas in Queensland :)
So I'm not sure vegetarians could be understood up there...It's kinda like "does not compute" in Queensland...
If I can survive beefy Argentina, I can take on Queensland. I'm hunk in spirit mate. :)
Krishna wrote: "I'm also a vegetarian!!"You couldn't be named Krishna and be anything other than a vegetarian! It would be sacrilegious for anyone named Krishna be a meat eater :)
So, that's me and Krishna playing the Veggie Slaves. James as David Hasslehoff in a loincloth, and Laureen as Queen Sheila. Yeah?
Krishna wrote: "Krishna himself was not a meat eater? I think he was not a vegetarian."I always thought he was a vegetarian, but upon a quick Google it seems you're right.
Harry wrote: "James as David Hasslehoff in a loincloth"Nope, I'm gonna direct the film now.
Plus, Laureen refuses to play opposite me.
Therefore, I think we actually need to approach The Hoff for the lead...
Harry wrote: "I always thought he was a vegetarian, but upon a quick Google it seems you're right. ."So now I'm really confused.
If Krishna (the God, not Krishna the Undergrounder) was a meat eater, then why are Hindus against eating meat?
James wrote: "Harry wrote: "I always thought he was a vegetarian, but upon a quick Google it seems you're right. ."So now I'm really confused.

I don't know the answer to that, but there were a lot of vegetarians in the region upon the formation of Hinduism, so presumably some made a case for it being a part of their religion, in the way we've seen with other things in Christianity.
Though, it's interesting that things aren't always black and white with regards to religion's attitudes with killing animals- virtually all religions have always had their sacred animals or kosher preparation, for example.
And when people say Christ wasn't a vegetarian, it's true, but I think I'm right in saying that all examples of this in the Bible are with concerns to feeding hunger or as sacrifice/symbolic of sacrifice. So it's just not as clear cut as it may seem.
Harry wrote: "So, that's me and Krishna playing the Veggie Slaves. James as David Hasslehoff in a loincloth, and Laureen as Queen Sheila. Yeah?"Ahahahahaha!
Krishna wrote: "Hindus r not against eating meat, only brahmins r. but Krishna was not a brahmin."Oh okay that explains it then.
Thank you Krishna, for enlightening me about KRISHNA :)
So really there is one director (James) and three (maybe four if we can get The Hoff) actors, (Laureen, Krishna, and Harry). Well this is going to be a very intricate movie now won't it. May I play a role in this film? haha

If the Earth really is only 10,000 years old, then there would've been dino meat everywhere...
And that is my creative way of saying GET BACK ONTO TOPIC PEOPLE!
To anyone who has forgotten, this is the discussion heading: What Really Happened to the Dinosaurs?
So submit your theories - scientific, historical or even religious theories.

Definitely Fay.
You will be a young assistant to the Hoff who doubles as his gourmet chef - cooking the dino meat as he goes about his business of hunting them down.
James wrote: "Harry wrote: So submit your theories - scientific, historical or even religious theories."What about fictional? Don't forget fictional. Some of the greatest historic stories are based on that.
James wrote: "Fay wrote: "So really there is one director (James) and three (maybe four if we can get The Hoff) actors, (Laureen, Krishna, and Harry).

I cannot even properly conduct making microwavable mac 'n cheese, no joke. I am a sad excuse for a cook and it does not interest me- yes, I am the odd one in the family. :)
Krishna wrote: "I really like the theory of galactic hunters"explain that please...I'm naïve on all theories (even scientific ones) as to what happened to the dinos...all I vaguely know is most scientists think a giant meteor crashed into Earth and they all died at once, but I know of no specifics

All you have to do is cook dino meat above a fire, that's it. The Hoff ain't fussy.
I just kind of think their time came. I mean, there are plenty of prehistoric-and-later creatures that didn't survive and plenty of animals are dying out right now. Where are the bees going? (And why isn't this of the utmost importance?)
I don't think there's any great One Reason for dino extinction. Just like future historians will say: "Did some out-of-space gas cause the bees to become extinct?"
How much larger does the earth get year by year with its constant seasonal replenishment I wonder? How big would the Earth have been originally? Maybe these galactic hunters or ancient civilisations are just buried beneath the ocean bed.
Krishna wrote: "I don't think a meteor can wipe out every Dino from every corner of the world.I am saying that like now because of hunters, many species r getting extinct, like that millions of years ago hunters ..."
Are you serious?
You think ETs would travel all the way across space to kill a few dinos?
This may sound crazy (but I guess that ship has already sailed with this entire group!), but has anyone ever proposed the idea that humans could have dino DNA????? You know, like the ETs genetically engineering humans from monkeys or whatever...Well, could dino DNA have been used?
Krishna wrote: "that's what wormholes r for!"Yeah I know, but still it takes effort to go thru wormholes. You don't think a civilization that advanced would have its food source catered for? Or are you saying the ETs were hunting dinos for something other than food?
James wrote: "Harry wrote: "I always thought he was a vegetarian, but upon a quick Google it seems you're right. ."So now I'm really confused.

Hindus aren't against eating meat....they just don't eat beef...cows are HOLY!!
They eat pork, chicken, fish, lamb and goat meat.....
In India you find the mqjority eating very limited meat..mostly vegetarian...but that is both because of cost (meat is expensive) and preservation (they don't have refrigeration/storage like some countries)
Sometimes it's religious too....Jains won't eat anything that has been killed...they only eat vegetables/fruits that have fallen from the plant....they won't pick/harvest...
James wrote: "Fay wrote: "Aha, nice. I shall be a great assistant, but don't count on me for the cooking. I cannot even properly conduct making microwavable mac 'n cheese, no joke. I am a sad excuse for a cook a..."Okay okay.
Well I think actually now that it was probably hard for dinos to become adapted to such a new and harsh environment so quickly. "What do you mean Fay?"What I'm saying is- HELLO, THE GREAT FLOOD!
Imagine. A flood is just done, it rained for 40 days and 40 nights. It covered the ENTIRE world and covered the highest mountain on the earth. So, the flood is over, and you're getting off of the massive ark and bam, it's entirely different. The land is soggy, and wet and ugly. Vegetation is all wetted down and a lot of is messed up and destroyed.
Hence, herbivores have a hard time living.
Also there were only a few animals of each kind. I'm sure that some carnivorous dinos couldn't find food cus it was so scarce. And for small dinos, I'm sure other carnivorous animals ate some of the small dinos. Only one male dino left of that kind? Hmmm... doesn't reproduce and- so sad, gone extinct.
Land structures are changed dramatically. There are bodies of water where there once wasn't. Everything is different. I think that probably the main reason for the dinos is that they were not able to adapt well at all to the conditions! But that was the consequence for man's evil doing at that time.
My opinion on the giant meteor killing them all theory, I think it sounds ridiculous.
I disagree. It iscompletely plausible....an example of similar situation is when the volcano in Iceland erupted, or Chernobyl exploded....with the meteor....the vast cloud cover and dust...took away sunlight....which as we know is tremendously important to life...food sources died...only plants that could live of sulfurous gas and carbon could really survive...it's not all hogwash!
That still is a theory though. The Great Flood really did happen though and it's aftermath is a very good reason of why the dinos went extinct.
Fay wrote: "That still is a theory though. The Great Flood really did happen though and is a very good reason of why the dinos went extinct."But why wouldn't Noah have put some dinos in the Ark then? :)

Noah definitely did put dinos on the Ark James.
Fay I thought all the humor was over but your comment about dinos on Noah's Ark just made me burst out laughing ;)
James wrote: "Fay I thought all the humor was over but your comment about dinos on Noah's Ark just made me burst out laughing ;)"What is so funny James? Please share with me.
Oh sorry, Fay, I thought you were joking.Are you serious??
Even besides dinos, Noah's Ark must've been about the size of Texas to handle all the world's millions of species of animals...But then with dinos...We'd need a boat the size of America!
Plus according to bible literalists the flood only occurred about 4,000 years ago...
So dinos were alive very, very recently??
Fay, come on now, are you sure a punch line isn't coming soon?
Fay wrote: "James wrote: "Fay I thought all the humor was over but your comment about dinos on Noah's Ark just made me burst out laughing ;)"What is so funny James? Please share with me."
Well, that Ark must have been one big ship. It had two of every living creature including two of every variety of dinosaur some of which were incredibly huge. The mind boggles. The Queen Mary would sink with one of those creatures on board! And imagine feeding that lot!
Also, pardon my ignorance, but as I understand it, the history involving the Bible all happened in one part of the world as people knew it then. America hadn't been discovered by the Eastern nations nor the Europeans. Was there some later evidence that this great flood covered the entire earth?
James, I can't get that picture of you playing The Hoff with a loin cloth on out of my head. Of course, I have to imagine your physique cos I don't know what you look like below the neck but I am getting to know your personality. That helps.Also, leave Queenslanders alone. We are human too.

1.) Three words, James: Little Baby Animals
2.) Yes, dinos were around "recently"
Not 4000 or even 6000 years ago they weren't....sorry to burst your bubble
And since you're taking the bible to it's literal word.....the world was created in 6 days.....Abraham, Isaac....et al all lived to be 900+ years old and had hundreds of children...naturally all sons....how did anyone come after...with all those boys? Seriously people
Catherine wrote: "And since you're taking the bible to it's literal word.....the world was created in 6 days.....Abraham, Isaac....et al all lived to be 900+ years old and had hundreds of children...naturally all so..."What do you mean all of them were sons, Catherine. They had daughters too.
