Don’t forget! Make sure to take your pre-historic creatures out to dinner! Or, since we can’t do dinner out tonight, they are coming to work with me today and to the grocery store after work. Happy Pre-Historic Creatures Day! (I miss yams!!) ---

Unfortunately, I forgot to book the restaurant today- it was all planned out and everything until I got stoopid- hopefully I can placate them with a nice takeaway. ---

Can I celebrate with a ‘wild red jungle fowl’ for dinner? ---

I’m worried; there are so many pre-historic creatures in my son’s room and various other places in our house I doubt we could find them all to take to dinner! Maybe I should bring back some leftovers and set them out in the kitchen. ---

Dang it, now where did I pack my triceratops? I know he’s around here somewhere. I keep him just for occasions such as this. ---

> [@Intergalactic\_Gladiator](#): > > They’re always the last place you look. Of course they are, why would you keep looking after you found them? 😉 My friends and I took about a dozen creatures out for dinner. We were a hit at the sushi place. The people at the table next to us were definitely making note and one took a picture. Can’t wait for the next one! ---

Awesome! I bet they enjoyed the sushi. I think pre-historic creatures like takeaway, too. [Here’s one at work today.](http://distilleryimage4.instagram.com/08ecbb223e5211e180c9123138016265_7.jpg) (Hope the link works!) ---

I don’t have any prehistoric creatures in my house. However, I do have some owls and cats. The white tiger frequently wants to go out (for steak, naturally) and since I’m the only one who understands her, I have to go along to interpret. This time the gang had to be satisfied with Mexican food, because I was the one driving, and that’s what I wanted. The owls also like to go with me to my Mensa meetings. ---

Damn, I didn’t know about this. I’m just the kind of nut who would bring a stegosaurus out to lunch. I’m putting a note on my calendar for the next one!
