Events / Green Walking with Dinosaurs Ticket Giveaway!!

Why yes, I DO have an extra pair of tickets to Walking with Dinosaurs, the ARENA SPECTACULAR opening later this month at the Rose Garden. (The show features life sized dinosaurs and is, to quote the press release, "everything a dino-phile could want.") Would you like to win them? Okay! Given the hipster-appropriated cutesiness of dinosaur representations in pop culture, a haiku contest seems appropriate, so: Best haiku in the comments by noon on Wednesday, Feb 10, wins the tickets. (The tickets are for Wednesday, February 24.)

(On a dino-related note, I'm not the biggest fan of Dinosaur Comics [I KNOW, WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME], but if you haven't seen the "Japanese/English student version," where Japanese kids filled out a blank dino comic, check it out. It is great.)

Triceratops says
He's the baddest dino here;
T-rex thinks he sucks.

Holy shit! It's a
Smashing dinosaur! He'll fix
The Coliseum.

1, 2, 3 dinos,
Strolling in Forest Park, when
Suddenly, they died.

Grant Brissey is dumb.
Haiku is five-seven-five and
not twenty six-ish.

Animalia,
Chordata, Vertebrata,
and Reptilia

Diapsida, then
Archosauromorpha, and
Dinosauria

"Size and majesty;"
deinos meaning "powerful"
sauros is "reptile."

My girlfriend is like
"Baby win us those tickets"
I wrote this for her.

It's the only way,
when you don't have a time machine,
to ride a dino.

Tyrant, Greek for "king";
But king of what, with arms that
cannot hold the queen?

Dino smooching? Do you mean dino smooching?

I hope she means dino smooching!

Nex, I read Sarahfina's haiku as this:

Valentine and I
want to make out on and with
sexy dinosaurs.
