CAPTION COMPETITION!


I realise that I've been very light on the content recently and I can only
apologise. Please, accept this gift of a book cover of such flabbergasting
wrongness that you won't sleep well for several nights. Because it'll haunt you.
Its toothy grin and flouncing posture will lurk in the darkest recesses of your
bedroom. You won't be able to see it, but it'll be there...waiting.































Once seen, never unseen.

And hey, Niroot had a good idea recently - a caption competition! Please, devise
the best captions for the dancing dinosaur above, and the winner will receive
fame beyond the wildest dreams of anyone ever mentioned on some blog about
dinosaurs.

By the way, this is the work of Adrian Chesterman and forms the cover of The
Explorer's Guide to Dinosaurs. Since most of the rest of the book consists of
blatant copies of Sibbick illustrations and DK models from the 1990s, I'll let
him off on the basis that he doesn't know dinosaurs too well. Although this book
did have no fewer than two 'picture researchers', and you've gotta wonder about
that...

     In my mind it's just saying "Haaaaaay". Or if this was several years ago,
     "WaaaSSSAAAAAAAAAP"

     Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk,
     I'm a woman's man, no time to talk.
     Music loud and women warm.
     I've been kicked around since I was born....
     Stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
     Feel the city breakin'
     And ev'rybody shakin'
     And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
     Ah, ha, ha, ha,
     Stayin' alive.
     Stayin' alive.
