James Morcan | 11380 comments What does your post, or indeed any if the 1,100 or so posts before it, have to do with the topic at hand????
What
Happened
To
The dinos?

Surely somebody must be able to figure it out.
(And while you're at it, can you also tell us all what happens to us when we die? Thanks in advance)

J.D. Lovil (jd_lovil) | 85 comments Possible answers of what happened to the dinos:
Died in asteroid strike
escaped dying in asteroid strike by immigration to parallel Earths
Hunger strike gone very wrong
Transformed by advanced science or magic into chickens
Abducted by aliens
Eaten by something bigger
developed high tech and immigrated to space
God mistaken them for angels and took them to heaven
Satan mistook them for demons and took them to hell
Went through some sort of ascension
Followed a Lemur instinct and killed themselves
Hunted to extinction by the Predators from Predator
Used as incubation hosts by the aliens from Alien
Developed dementia and got lost

What happens to us when we die:
rot and stink
heaven or hell
serve as the butt of Jokes in an alternate life
Something involving time travel, a feather, and ten feet of Barbwire
It is a mystery. All I know is that our pets set it all up.

You must not be a fan of Star Trek Voyager...they built ships and escaped to the Delta Quadrant where they evolved into a humanoid form.

James Morcan | 11380 comments Has anyone ever considered the dinos were a very sensitive group of beings who were prone to bouts of melancholy and even depression?
Is this the missing link in our extensive investigation of the death of the dinos??

That would explain Tyrannosaurus rex's attitude problem. So easy just to dismiss it as aggression; I reckon it was stress.


message 1110: by J.D. (new)

J.D. Lovil (jd_lovil) | 85 comments But that should have been covered by the Obamasaurus Healthcare plan. I was told that they had a long established system, where if any dinosaur was in need of psychological help, there was always a Jungosaurus just down the road.

James Morcan | 11380 comments This is post 1111...
I wonder if the dinos could count in their minds?

Faith (faymorrow) | 309 comments I still like the suggestion that James is secretly a dinosaur hiding behind some fake human profile.

So get this...
What if dinos still exist secretly somewhere, but they've become so much more advanced that they understand English and have much more capabilities. Anyway, they know that humans believe they are extinct and don't want to ruin that for fear that if they come back into the light they will be hunted and their precious dinosaur heads stuffed and put on walls! So, they hide behind false internet identities so that they can be part of our world... yet still hidden.

I believe I have just solved everything. Like, not just the question about where the dinos went, but just life in general.

So James (you sly dino, you), is this true?

Hang on, let me rephrase that...Forgive me, for I have been SINGED (by the meteor that destroyed all my buddies)...

message 1118: by J.D. (new)

J.D. Lovil (jd_lovil) | 85 comments I want to frolic in the Precambrian landscape, but I can enjoy a brief respite here with the late coming dinosaurs. I have one more theory on what happened to our Lizardly friends.
Eons ago, just after the fireball earth became cool enough, the Old Ones of Lovecraftian sorts came to Earth. They were here from 3.9 billion to 65 million years ago, partying hardy and making a mess, until the elder gods came to evict them. They bombarded the Old Ones with sentient spheres of cosmic spiritual force, until finally, the last of the Old Ones were destroyed, or forced to flee the Earth.
Our Dinosaur friends got caught in the middle. And that is why we have chickens in the coop, and not Velociraptors.

James Morcan | 11380 comments New theory: The dinos all turned gay and therefore died out within one generation...


message 1121: by J.D. (new)

J.D. Lovil (jd_lovil) | 85 comments James, your theory of the demise of the gay dinosaurs would require a sufficient number of Discos, clothing outlets and Queenly parades to accommodate a world full of dinosaurs. I am skeptical about the clothing outlets. Also, the theater booth action may have caused a great deal of pain, and some other reasons why the species might have died out.


message 1122: by James, Group Founder (new)

James Morcan | 11380 comments Okay, now that you've debunked that theory, could it be the dinos libidos fell to all-time lows?
They searched far and wide but could find no prehistoric equivalent to Viagra.
And so that was it...No more dino babies.

Impotent dinosaurs! I think you might have finally cracked it.


message 1124: by J.D. (new)

J.D. Lovil (jd_lovil) | 85 comments I think that you may have hit on the true cause of the demise of our friends. If ancient big Pharma could not see profit in producing sexual aid medications to our ancient reptilian chicken progenitors, they may have refused to go to the expense of conducting those expensive dinosaur trials, and all of the dinosaurs may have just sat down and died of boredom. The only dino porno out at the time was the Stegasaurus scale and Horny, and it was a turn on for less than ten percent of the population.


message 1125: by Harry (new)

Harry Whitewolf | 1745 comments Do we know how big dinosaurs' dicks were? Did the sheer size of the T-Rex's mean it couldn't function properly?


message 1126: by J.D. (new)

J.D. Lovil (jd_lovil) | 85 comments You have point, Harry. Anyone know how big their feet were? I assume we cannot go by their hands. Have we really descended into a Trump argument about size? I thought that we were discussing the serious subject of dinosaurs going extinct for lack of Viagra.

message 1129: by Mike (new)

Mike Robbins (mikerobbins) | 23 comments Yep, I'm a survivor from the paleothatcheric. Few English dinosaurs survived that age of raptors and other predators, and fierce competition for resources.


message 1130: by Harry (new)

Harry Whitewolf | 1745 comments "Paleothatcheric."

Love it.

I heard tho that if you were at the top of the food chain in the paleothatcheric era you could have yourself a very nice life with feasts galore, dino slaves at your disposal and rumour has it you didn't even need to pay dino taxes if you were in the elite during that dynasty...


message 1132: by James, Group Founder (last edited Mar 27, 2016 10:06AM) (new)

James Morcan | 11380 comments This paleocameronic "civlization" is similar to the paleothatcheric age, right?


message 1133: by Mike (new)

Mike Robbins (mikerobbins) | 23 comments Yes, but it differs in that the species at the top of the food chain have now mutated due to the easy availability of prey, and are now approaching a sort of genetic senescence. A major extinction event is eagerly anticipated.


message 1134: by Harry (new)

Harry Whitewolf | 1745 comments You just made me remember how the British public tried to get Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead to number one when Maggie died.

Ah, that raises a smile. There are plenty of rebels in hiding over here. After all, we managed to replace the number one Christmas single which was bound to be the X Factor winner with the protest purchase of Rage Against The Machine.

Let's hope the paleo-cam-moronic age ends soon.


message 1135: by James, Group Founder (new)

James Morcan | 11380 comments Even the dinos were rolling in their graves when upon her death much of the mainstream media promoted positive aspects of Maggie...Not quite sure what those positive aspects were, but apparently they found some posthumously...

Glad you spoke out and stated the truth even when her supporters were mourning her death.

It is an odd phenomenon when despised politicians die they seem to have a honeymoon period for a while after death when journalists mostly speak positively about them...


message 1138: by James, Group Founder (new)

James Morcan | 11380 comments Also, one more thing with Maggie:

Thatcherism and Reaganism had quite a few parallels and Maggie and Ronnie were on each others wavelength during the 1980s.
Apparently the Queen approved of this trans-Atlantic duo also.

If the planet had learned the lessons of the dinos and what caused their demise, maybe such ruthless political structures never would have come into being.


message 1139: by Mike (new)

Mike Robbins (mikerobbins) | 23 comments I felt very strongly about that piece. Writing it affected me more than any other piece I've produced, I think, including my books. That woman wrecked my country. But she didn't do it because she was evil. The world is more complicated than that. It was in the US too. Plenty of people thought Reaganomics was right and inevitable.

What a great piece Mike - very thoughtful. And Billy Bragg was spot on, as ever.

Mike Robbins (mikerobbins) | 23 comments He's a bit of a hero of mine, Harry. Funny thing is, I was never into his music that much. I just think he is humane and can be bothered to try and understand his country and the people who live in it.

I love Bragg's music, but equally am a fan of his humanitarian politics - exactly as you say. He's like the voice of reason down the pub.

J.D. Lovil (jd_lovil) | 85 comments Please to herd your conceptual spawn back onto the track of the dino demise train.

So very true... well, unless they all were killed cause they got wrapped up in a gigantic political battle that resulted in war amongst the entire dino population...


message 1146: by J.D. (new)

J.D. Lovil (jd_lovil) | 85 comments No. I have it on good authority that all dinos started out as democrats, made the inevitable transition to socialism, converted to Marxism, and died in Gulags under the watchful eyes of gestapo rodents.


message 1147: by James, Group Founder (new)

James Morcan | 11380 comments You just said not to be political, JD, and then you went political!
This is the way dinos did politics...They claimed to be apolitical while undermining the democratic process and taking away the rights of peasant dinos...
JD, could it be you're a Tea Party Dino Elitist?


message 1148: by James, Group Founder (last edited Apr 05, 2016 03:55AM) (new)

James Morcan | 11380 comments There is some cross species pollination occurring from the matrix thread: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
To the point where scientists are beginning to ask...
Were the dinos just an illusion of the matrix?
And so the new theory is: Nobody can find out why they vanished because they never actually existed...Holograms after all can just disappear from the matrix without warning...

Finally, thank you JD...that now explains why Hillary is the 'missing link'! Now it all makes sense, what a relief.
