Dinosaurs Behaving Badly

It's Dinovember, a month when plastic toy dinosaurs come to life in order to amuse children and lure them away from the computer screen. Hooray for the humble plastic dino!

Well, in theory, anyway.

The plastic dinosaurs in my household have issues. Just look at this bunch:

Mind you, this was 4:00 in the afternoon!

About the only thing positive I can say about coming home to the sight of plastic dinosaurs sucking down wine is that it appears they elected a designated driver.

Dinovember #1

There's an event called "Dinovember," created by a pair of enlightened parents who wanted to show their children that there's more to life than computers.

The parents told their kids that, at night, the plastic dinosaurs come to life and run amok. This fabulous mom and dad team then proceeded to allow plastic dinosaurs to do whatever they chose, every night. The obliging dinos posed for photos ... and of course now it's all on Facebook.

We at "The Gods Are Bored" have a long and storied history with plastic dinosaurs, providing a plentiful supply for a local, dinosaur-themed park.

Alas, here in Snobville, the plastic dinosaurs seem to be having issues.

This one is not making healthy lifestyle choices. And this is just the beginning. Today is November 3.
