jeph jacques! stop slouching">guest week: jeph jacques! stop slouching T-Rex: Having proper posture is very important! / T-Rex: Stop slouching! / T-Rex: Having proper posture enables me to stomp this house without injuring my delicate, ladylike ankles! / T-Rex: Here, I'll demonstrate again, this time on a tiny human lady! / Utahraptor: Uh...T-Rex? / Utahraptor: First of all, you're hardly qualified to talk about proper posture. Yours is awful! Second, what's the deal with you talking about how ladylike your ankles are? That's just weird! / T-Rex: No it's not! You're just jealous! / Utahraptor: Whatever. I'm outta here. / T-Rex: Stand up straight! / Voice from outside the panel: I'm a dinosaur! We're not supposed to stand up straight! / T-Rex: We...we're not? / <<*SNAP*>> [[from T-Rex' legs]] / T-Rex: Oh nooooo!

Hell Yeah! Maybe if I smash their log dojo and ninja-mobile they'll leave me alone. / Utahraptor: Still figting ninjas t-rex? / T-Rex: You know it! Perhaps if I stomp their beautiful (yet deadly) leader, 'Black Lotus', I can end it for good! / Black Lotus: you will never defeat us! AIE! / [[The Ninjas are now all dead]] / Utahraptor: Wow, I thought you'd never finish fighting those ninjas! / T-Rex: Me either! / Utahraptor: So what are you going to do with your life now? / T-Rex: I don't know, settle down maybe. I always wanted to be a farmer. / [[Mars bats are flying towards T-Rex]] / Narrator: Later, at the farm... / Mars bats: squee! squee! / T-Rex: Oh no! Mars bats!

nicky gurewitch! being a magician">guest week: nicky gurewitch! being a magician T-Rex: Too much of my life has been spent on not being a magician.

Mister, uh... / Space Rex: Space Rex! / Professor Utiarty: Bwaha! / Professor Utiarty: With my killing ray, I... / Professor Utiarty: Professor Utiarty... / Professor Utiarty: Will take over the world! / Professor Utiarty: The world of space! / Space Rex: Utiarty, the only thing you'll be killing is time... / Space Rex: In space prison! / Professor Utiarty: Ah, but you see, as easily as I can swap my monocle.. / Professor Utiarty: I can steal your goggles, Space Rex! / Professor Utiarty: Or, should I say, T-Rex! / T-Rex: He... He knows! / T-Rex: They all know! / Narrator: Oh no! With his secret identity no longer a secret, is this the end of Space Rex?! Find out on the next exciting episode of... Space Rex!

aaron farber! another beautiful day">guest week: aaron farber! another beautiful day T-Rex: Ah, another beautiful day. / T-Rex: ...OR IS IT!? / Dromiceiomimus: ...What? What kind of question was that? / T-Rex: I'm attempting to build dramatic tension! / Utahraptor: I really don't think you can turn the relative beauty of weather into a dramatic event, T-Rex. / T-Rex: Oh, but that's where you're wrong! Even as we speak, listeners are inching closer to our conversation, sweat beginning to form at their brows. "What is it," they wonder, "good... or bad?" Each moment we delay... their anticipation grows... ever... stronger.... / Narrator: And now, the exciting conclusion! / T-Rex: Actually, it's a bit brisk for my tastes!

raccoons: nature's most sinister mammal T-Rex: Oh man, there were a whole bunch of raccoons hanging around outside my house last night! I was like, / T-Rex: Aaaaaahhhh! / Dromiceiomimus: Hah hah! I don't believe it! T-Rex - you're afraid of raccoons! / T-Rex: There's nothing funny about this! They're damned freaky animals! They're SMART and CUNNING and they sit on the heads of dogs to drown them! / Utahraptor: What? / T-Rex: They do! / T-Rex: And their hands - their little, nimble, probing hands! / Utahraptor: Wow - you're really afraid of those cute little guys! / T-Rex: They're not cute: they're freaky! They know too much! They open up jars and stuff! / Narrator: That night: / Raccoons: T-REX, WE PUT OUR MINDS TO IT AND TAUGHT OURSELVES ENGLISH! / T-Rex: Holy Shit! Leave me alone! / RACCOONS: T-REX - / RACCOONS: WE WERE NOT MEANT TO BE

cephalopods: oh my goodness what went wrong T-Rex: Damned sinister raccoons are still hanging around outside my house! And just when I thought things couldn't get more freaky, their cephalopod friends showed up! / T-Rex: I was like, / T-Rex: "What? AAAAHHHHH!" / Dromiceiomimus: Cephalopods? Like squid? / T-Rex: Squid cuttlefish, and other similarly baleful creatures are all members of the cephalopod family, characterized by HUGE EYS, BEAKS, INTELLIGENCE, and AMBITION. / Utahraptor: I thought cephalopods were underwater animals! / T-Rex: They played us for suckers! / Utahraptor: Well, maybe they're friendly! Maybe they just want to be your friend? / T-Rex: They're jet powered, did you know that? They're jet-powered animals and their heads are covered in PREHENSILE TENTACLES. They're carnivorous and most are cannibals! / Narrator: THAT NIGHT: / T-Rex: I don't want any trouble, cephalopods! / Cephalopods: T-REX, WE'RE GOING TO SNEAK INTO BED WITH YOU TONIGHT! / Cephalopods: WE'LL BE LIKE / Cephalopods: "HELLO T-REX"
http://www.qwantz.com/index.php?comic=493
guess who's coming to dinner T-Rex: So the good news is that the raccoons and cephalopods aren't hanging around my house anymore! / T-Rex: The BAD news is that they've moved in together next door! / Dromiceiomimus: Really! Wow, that's quite a development! / T-Rex: Yeah, quite a sinister development! The two animals I find the freakiest develop the ability to talk and move in next door? I do not need to know animals with these abilities! / Utahraptor: Hey, do you think these recent events in your life could be an allegory for racism? / T-Rex: Not really! It's not racist to like some animals and not others. Besides, I'm not irrationally against raccoons and cephalopods: they've threatened me! They wait menacingly outside my house for me to come home! / Utahraptor: And "some of your best friends are raccoons and cephalopods", right? / Narrator: THAT NIGHT: / T-Rex: Cephalopod and raccoon neighbours, I respect your unique worldview! / Raccoons and cephalopods: YOU ALWAYS HAVE SUCH NICE THINGS TO SAY, T-REX. / Raccoons and cephalopods: COME CLOSER, T-REX / Raccoons and cephalopods: GIVE US A KISS

in which t-rex walks around telling people stories Narrator: We join our story as T-Rex is relaying dumb stories he's heard and believes to be true. / T-Rex: Time to educate my peers...through the medium of incredibly true facts! / T-Rex: Hello Dromiceiomimus! Did you know that if you held your eyes open when you sneezed, the could pop out? Pop! / Dromiceiomimus: Really? That seems pretty improbable, since I know that eyelids closing is just incidental to the sneezing refl- / T-Rex: It's true!! They could just pop out like CRAZY. / Utahraptor: Hey, are you going around telling people stories? / T-Rex: True stories! FACTS! Want to hear one? / Utahraptor: These wouldn't happen to be URBAN LEGENDS, would they, T-Rex? / T-Rex: Of course not! Ha ha! So, um... here's a fun fact about trumpet players: each saves the contents of their spit valve in a mason jar, and chugs it at the end of the year! / T-Rex: I don't know why!

sad comics Narrator: SAD COMICS / T-Rex: It's true! / T-Rex: Sometimes I get a little sad! / T-Rex: You wouldn't guess it from my rugged exterior, but beneath my tremendous frame beats the heart of a sensitive man. So sensitive! / Utahraptor: T-Rex, you're talking about how sensitive you are while simultaneously stomping on things! / T-Rex: Yes, well - I realize that now, Utahraptor, and it makes me very Sad! / Utahraptor: You don't look very sad to me! / T-Rex: I'm sad on the inside! / T-Rex: Seriously, check it out: / T-Rex: "Boo hoo hoo! Let's have a lengthy discussion about FEELINGS." / T-Rex: Wooo! I'm talking the talk!!

from the greek nostos ("a return home") algos ("pain") T-Rex: I've changed my mind! You know what's great? / T-Rex: Nostalgia! / T-Rex: Hot Wheels(TM) cars! / T-Rex: Simpler videogames! / T-Rex: Less swearing on the radio? / T-Rex: Woooo! / Narrator: LATER: / T-Rex: ...BMX(TM) bikes! / Utahraptor: Are you listing things that you find nostalgic? / T-Rex: I am! / Utahraptor: But doesn't it take more than simply listing old things to really be nostalgic? / T-Rex: Nope! / Narrator: LATER: / T-Rex: Ninja turtles!

the devil in: mmorpgs Devil: GREETINGS TO YOU T-REX / T-Rex: The Devil!! / T-Rex: What's that matter: run out of video games? / Devil: NO THE VIDEOED GAMES ARE QUITE PLENTIFUL INDEED / Devil: I HAVE BEEN PLAYING SEVERAL MMORPGS OF LATE / T-Rex: Huh? / Devil: THEY ARE GAMES PLAYED ONLINE WITH A LARGE NUMBER OF STRANGERS / Devil: THE EXPERIENCE IS UNPARALLELED / T-Rex: Man, I don't want to hear about it! / Utahraptor: Talking to the Devil again? / T-Rex: He's the one talking to ME! I didn't ask for this! / Utahraptor: Well, have you tried getting rid of him? Hey T-Rex, isn't it great how the Devil is PRETTY LAME? / Devil: I WOULD DISAGREE WITH THAT PARTICULAR ASSESSMENT / Devil: T-REX YOUR COMPANION IS CLEARLY UNFAMILIAR WITH MY PROWESS IN THE REALM OF MMORPGS / T-Rex: Must be nice!! / Devil: THE CHRONICLES OF MY DARK ELF CHARACTER ARE ASSUREDLY THE STUFF OF LEGEND

spam protection systems / TOUCH FOOTBALL! T-Rex: I sent an email to some dude today, and it came back with a verification message I had to reply to in order to prove I was "legit"! / T-Rex: Stupid whitelist spam protection systems! / Dromiceiomimus: Huh? You don't like spam protection systems? / T-Rex: Not these ones! They're inherently flawed, assuming you ever want to hear from someone you don't already know. If two strangers have a whitelist system, then either they can never talk to each other, or they still get spam! / Utahraptor: They'll still get spam? / T-Rex: Of course! / T-Rex: Because if verification emails can get through, then it won't be long until spammers send messages that look enough like them to also get through. There's still a hole! And if you seal it, you miss real verification emails. / Utahraptor: I guess so. Anyway! Let's go play TOUCH FOOTBALL! / Narrator: SOON: / T-Rex: I'm open! I'm open! I'm open!

nothing you can say will scare me! T-Rex: So! Life proceeds, despite the fact that I've got the freakiest neighbors ever. Who wants to live next door to sinister raccoons and cephalopods? / T-Rex: Not me! / T-Rex: The ONLY advantage I can think of is that it'll be cool on Hallowe'en. That's it! And that's not even much of an advantage, actually! Not even! / Utahraptor: T-Rex, did you ever think that maybe they're just as scared of you as you are of them? / T-Rex: Hah! / Utahraptor: Seriously! You could be quite imposing to someone who doesn't know you! / T-Rex: Man, these animals are WITHOUT FEAR. I don't see how acting like I'm not afraid will help things! / Narrator: THAT NIGHT: / Raccoons/Cephalopods: ARE YOU AFRIAD OF US, NEIGHBOR? / T-Rex: No way dudes! Nothing you can say will scare me! / Raccoons/Cephalopods: COME BLEED WITH US. COME BLEED WITH US, T-REX.

adjectivizing is the new verbing T-Rex: Oh man, I'm still a little tired from last night! / T-Rex: Time to go and get some HEARTY MAN SLEEP! / Dromiceiomimus: "Hearty man sleep"? / T-Rex: Damn straight Dromiceiomimus! I am recently ALL ABOUT adding "man" in front of things to make them sound all the more manly. You should see me man snooze! I man snooze with a pure MAN FURY. / Utahraptor: Does this work for "woman" too? / T-Rex: Possibly! / T-Rex: But I definitely have no interest in finding out! All I want to do today is have lots of man naps and stomp on things with my stern man foot. / Utahraptor: That's your call, I guess! / Utahraptor (Not seen): By the way, "man naps" sounds pretty suggestive! / T-Rex: I know, but I can't figure out a way to stop that! / T-Rex: I live with my man failings.

post-communism T-Rex: So what's the deal with... / T-Rex: ...POST-COMMUNISM? / Dromiceiomimus: You're going to have to define that for me, T-Rex! / T-Rex: It's what comes after communism, I think. Basically, what's the deal with it? / Utahraptor: You don't have any idea what post-communism is, do you T-Rex? / T-Rex: I freely admit that I do not! / T-Rex: But I ask: assuming it exists, what is its deal? / Utahraptor: Are you really interested? Is this your way of showing interest? I could tell you all about it if you want. / T-Rex: Please! / Narrator: SHORTLY: / T-Rex: Really? No state has ever claimed to have reached a fully communist system, and so the term is inaccurate, etymologically speaking? That's pretty cool!
http://www.qwantz.com/index.php?comic=502
averaged emotions T-Rex: Would it not be pretty neat to average out your emotional states across your entire life? / T-Rex: I bet I'd never be sad again! / Dromiceiomimus: But you'd never be happy again either! You'd probably be in this grey state of apathy for every second of the rest of your life! That doesn't sound appealing to me: always being out of sync with your friends, never knowing when to smile... / T-Rex: No way Dromiceiomimus! I bet that I would be on average at least KIND of happy. / Utahraptor: But what if you ended up being sad? / T-Rex: Sad? / Utahraptor: Yeah, what if you ended up being sad? It would be so tragic, especially if you had been pretty happy up to now! You'd feel - and you'd KNOW - that one day it's all going to go horribly wrong. / T-Rex: That would be pretty awful, knowing that on the whole, your life is one of sadness! / Narrator: MEANWHILE, IN THE UNIVERSE WHERE THIS HAPPENED AND T-REX DIED IN A REALLY TERRIFYING WAY: / T-Rex: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH / T-Rex: hhuuh / T-Rex: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

supportive sounds for post-breakup dudes T-Rex: Here are some bad things to say to someone who just broke up with his long-term girlfriend! / T-Rex: "Wasn't she the best ever?" / T-Rex: "I was always impressed with her wit, her beauty, her intelligence and her sense of humour." / T-Rex: "It's too bad you never go married, eh?" / T-Rex: "I had a bit of a crush on her too! She was a cutie." / Utahraptor: "I bet shew was a good kisser, huh?" / T-Rex: "Was she a good kisser?" / T-Rex: "Do you remember kissing her?" / Utahraptor: "Was it nice?" / T-Rex: "Pretty nice?" "Are you worried that one day you'll forget what it was like?" / T-Rex: "Wouldn't that be sad?"

politeness and insincerity and what have you T-Rex: I concede that, sometimes, it's nice to be polite! However! / T-Rex: I also believe that it's NOT nice to be insincere. I am in conflict! / T-Rex: This is because there are situations in which being polite implies being insincere. For example, I may think someone looks pretty ridiculous in their fancy new hat, but if they ask me what I think, I'll try to say SOMETHING positive about it! In order not to hurt their feelings, I am polite in sharing my opinion. / Utahraptor: But it's understood that people will try to be polite, so this insincerity is okay! / T-Rex: Huh? / T-Rex: If everyone knows people are being insincere, then what's the point of polliteness? We end up in the same place, semantically speaking. / Utahraptor: Not really! Since there is always SOME doubt as to whether someone is just being polite, one can always take something as a compliment! / T-Rex: Hold that thought. / T-Rex: HEY YOU! ACROSS THE STREET! / T-Rex: I LIKE YOUR FRIGGIN' HAT!

okay so i didn't use the british spelling of 'manoeuvre' but whatever! T-Rex: Today is a good day I think for more SECRETS of the MEDICAL PROFESSION! / T-Rex: Wooo! Secrets!! / T-Rex: Dromiceiomimus, you know how doctors will hit your knee with a hammer to test your reflexes? / Dromiceiomimus: Indeed I do! / T-Rex: WELL! In some cases the patient will be too aware of what's going on, and the test won't work. In such cases the patient is asked to lock their hands togetehr and pull them in opposite directions. This distraction allows the test to succeed! / T-Rex: I believe this is called the "Jendrassik Maneuver"! / Utahraptor: That's a pretty sinister name! / T-Rex: You're telling me! What's neat about it, though, is that it's AUTOMATIC. Even if you're aware that it's a distraction, the Maneuver still works! / Utahraptor: Really? / T-Rex: Yep! It's a neurological distraction affecting the pathways between the central nervous system and the motor neurons, dishibiting any tonic (i.e.: baseline) inhibitions. DOCTORS, huh?

let history be the judge T-Rex: Today is an excellend day I think for walking aroudn like I own the place! / T-Rex: Woo! Looks like my day just got filled up! / T-Rex: Dromiceiomimus, would you say that I'm an excellent dude for walking around like I own the place? / Dromiceiomimus: Actually, my friend, I would disagree! I think there are more productive uses of your time. / T-Rex: I'll let history be the judge of that! / Utahraptor: That's a pretty suspect saying, don't you think? / T-Rex: WHAT / Utahraptor: Seriously! It's predicated on history always being a story of progression, with the future assumed to be a better judge of what's right than the present. I'm not sure that's valid! Plus, I'm certain there's things that have been variously judged to be good and bad at different points in history! / T-Rex: Okay, so what if I said "I think I'll let an assumed future history which agress with my current position be the judge of THAT!"? / Utahraptor: Then I'd cancel our bowling plans on Saturday! / T-Rex: Noooo!

internet diary and optimism comics! Narrator: INTERNET DIARY COMICS / T-Rex: Hey, I have a great idea! I'll get a webpage, and then I'll put up all sorts of personal stuff about myself and my friends on it! / T-Rex: Then when it blows up in my face, I'll - Um! / T-Rex: Anyway, to the internet! / Narrator: OPTIMISM COMIS / Utahraptor: Hello T-Rex! How are you today? / T-Rex: Hello my friend! I'm fine! / Utahraptor: Great! Listen, T-Rex, we've known each other for a long time, right? / T-Rex: Right! / Utahraptor: Right! Well, there's something I've been meaning to tell you - something I should have said when we first met... / T-Rex: Sweet!

explode is often a transitive verb in dinosaur land T-Rex: In order to make things easier for myself AND my peers, I am construction a personl Enemies of T-Rex List (Enemies List)! / T-Rex: Featuring: corporations! / T-Rex: First on my list are the people who make those cans of frozen concentrated juice at the grocery store. When I open them, they sometimes explode a little juice on me! / T-Rex: I think it's because water expands when it's frozen and so the can is under pressure, and there's a little melted juice at the top? I don't know. But they're on the list! Also: 1970s American popular culture. / Utahraptor: Listen T-Rex, are you really sure you want an Enemies List? / T-Rex: Why wouldn't I? / Utahraptor: Well - it just doesn't seem very charitable, that's all. Plus, if you need a list to remember your enemies, maybe it's better if you just forgave and forgot? / Utahraptor: I guess I just don't see what you gain by having such a list, much less a well-publicised one! / T-Rex: Dude! You're coming close to questioning the very IDEA of an enemies list!

criminal record: helicopter theft T-Rex: Man, the coolest thing ever? / T-Rex: Skateboarding out of a friggin' crashing helicopter! / T-Rex: The ONLY way it could be better is if you yelled "EXTREME!" on the way down. "Whoah! Extreme!!" / Dromiceiomimus: That is pretty extreme! / T-Rex: You know it! And plus, you could do extreme tricks on the way down - like a backside lipslide 50-50 fakie! / Utahraptor: Oh man, what if people continued skateboarding INSIDE of the crashing helicopter? / T-Rex: ! / T-Rex: I hadn't even thought of that! / Utahraptor: Yeah, and when it crashes everyone thinks they're dead, but then they burst out of the rubble on their skateboards yelling "EXTREME!" and do ollies on the crumpled-up chassis! / T-Rex: That is pretty friggin' extreme! / Utahraptor: Extreme! / T-Rex & Utahraptor: EXTREME!! / T-Rex: Whoaaaaah!

autobiography still not working out T-Rex: Last night I started to write my own autobiography! However, I had to stop after a while because, as it turns out, my life is NOT THAT INTERESTING. / T-Rex: Imagine my dismay at coming to such a realization! / T-Rex: Therefore I have resolved to make my life better "copy" and will, from now on, style my activities such that they'll be appealing to a hyopthetical audience! / T-Rex: I will be forever on stage, performing! / Utahraptor: This is a very common fantasy among children! / T-Rex: Oh yes? / Utahraptor: Yeah! It's the idea that they're being watched on TV or by aliens or something. Not only does it make one feel important, but it's comforting to think that someone is there to share in your victories and defeats. / T-Rex: I imagine that is very true! / God: HEY T-REX IF YOU'RE TRYING TO MAKE THINGS INTERESTING THIS CONVERSATION TOTALLY ISN'T HELPING / T-Rex: God!! Hey, want to watch me go spice things up when I make...NAKED SUB SANDWICHES? / God: I'M COOL

three years before the great war T-Rex: "Mary was a young girl, 15 years old, and desperately in love with her next door neighbour, Tom." / T-Rex: "It was three years before the Great War!" / T-Rex: "Tom sat on his porch in the cooling night. 'How do you do?' said Mary, curtseying slightly. 'Hullo Mary,' said Tom, 'How are your folks.' He raised his voice so slightly that it was not a question, but Mary didn't notice. She was wearing here prettiest dress, the one with the blue floral print that her mother had sewn for her on her birthday. Mary smiled." / Utahraptor: What are you doing, T-Rex? / T-Rex: I'm writing a story! / T-Rex: It's a heartwarming story about two children growing up in a simpler time, a time when gender roles were clear and children played hopscotch on their way home from school! / Utahraptor: Wow, that's pr- / T-Rex: Hah hah, just kidding! / T-Rex: Oh man, did I get you? Did I get you? / Utahraptor: I - I guess? / T-Rex: What if I said I'm not really kidding?

t-rex and his dinosaur friends in: "gender? huh?" T-Rex: I've been thinking about gender roles! Is gender a social construct? / T-Rex: Or, does it refer specifically to the persuasion of one's naughty bits? / Dromiceiomimus: Well T-Rex, it can't be a purely biological construct, because there are people born intersexed! / T-Rex: This is true! Plus, people's ideas of "masculine" and "feminine" change over time and across cultures. I don't think either a purely social OR biological explanation satisfies! / Utahraptor: It's a very tricky question, and one that many people feel strongly about! / T-Rex: Indeed! / Utahraptor: Besides, even if we do assume that gender is some mixture of both societal and biological self, all that gets us is a murky combination of influences, predisposition and societal feedback that may be impossible to untangle. / T-Rex: Hey, let's try though! / Narrator: AMAZINGLY, T-REX AND UTAHRAPTOR SOLVE ALL POSSIBLE ISSUES OF GENDER... BETWEEN PANELS! / T-Rex: You the man, my friend! / Utahraptor: No, YOU the man! / T-Rex: Hah hah! How delightfully droll!
