Originally shared by Curt Thompson This is an interesting theory, but I notice the author has to omit one of the most important Heinlein novels to make it work. Time Enough For Love was written in the very early 70s and was a straight (heh) extrapolation of the chaotic and frenetic zeitgeist of that era. http://www.locusmag.com/Perspectives/2012/11/the-joke-is-on-us-the-two-careers-of-robert-a-heinlein/

I was watching some luxury car commercial where people were driving through a downtown city center that had been overrun by brontos and triceratops (yes, my age is showing on those names). I kept thinking, "those people have nothing to be afraid of, those are herbavores" and "stop pestering them by driving between their feet, you idiot."
ReplyDeleteI don't remember which car commercial it was, so clearly I am NOT the target demo.
I would watch that commercial. Especially if an angry triceratops butted a BMW off a cliff or something.
ReplyDeletePersonally (since you mentioned it and I've had dinos on the brain for a bit) I'm not convinced by the torosaurus is a mature triceratops argument. Could be true, but Horner is so off-base with his t-rex theories that I take his ideas with a grain of salt. The jury is still out. And torosaurus would be the species to go, not triceratops anyway. Meaning a mature triceratops would just be pictured with a huge freakin' shield, which is awesome anyway.
It's a Buick crossover car ad, incidentally: http://www.autoblog.com/2013/03/14/first-2013-buick-encore-tv-ad-features-dinosaurs/
ReplyDeleteI read it as "luxury" because of the blue filter.
Sweet. I will watch later.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes: I'm Team Triceratops all the way.
ReplyDeleteTriceratops is my spirit animal. I always commune with it when I'm at the science museum.
ReplyDeleteI need a Team Triceratops tshirt.
