It’s another Friday 13th, so it’s time to celebrate with your prehistoric creatures; take them out for a treat! Here’s **yams!!** original [post](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=9205430&postcount=75) about it… And here’s a [random picture](http://www.flickr.com/photos/17270214@N05/7073571699/in/set-72157622670833949/) from a previous PCD! ---

Dammit, I forgot to find myself a prehistoric creature to have lunch with. Maybe I have time to make an origami dinosaur… ---

I got a tiny Dave minion and little fluffy unicorn from Despicable Me when we were at Universal Studios this spring, they sit by my bed and I had lunch in bed today, does this count? ---

Do you HAVE to take them out? I’m perfectly willing to share dinner with Princess Stegosaur, but we’ve been a little tight on cash lately. ---

I took mine out the first two times this year (sushi, then curry). Tonight, we are enjoying some cold beers on a hot night at home. ---

That’s just…awesome. Thanks for reposting it. And thanks to yams!! for the original post. I’ll have to see about getting a prehistoric creature to celebrate with before the next Friday the 13th! -D/a ---

My youngest son’s lovey, a little stuffed red dinosaur that goes by the name of “Uh-oh” enjoyed a relaxing day playing downstairs with all the kids. Usually he is confined to my son’s crib so that he doesn’t get lost. (Youngest Bellum can’t sleep without his beloved Uh-oh.) We didn’t take him out, but he did get to sit at the head of the table at dinnertime. He seemed pleased. ---

Sometimes a nice cup of tea is just what you want! i think it’s plenty to say that you’re celebrated PCD! [Our stegosaur](http://www.flickr.com/photos/17270214@N05/7561330732/in/photostream/) enjoyed it too! Don’t think there’s another Prehistoric Creatures Day until Sept 2013! ☹ ---

Today in Costco, I saw a family that must not have celebrated the holiday. There were two little plush dinos rampaging throughout the store, running in circles around a particular woman and her cart, with two young children absolutely hot on their heels after them. The children were shrieking and loudly narrating the rampaging each dino was doing. I think the woman must have been numb to it after a period of prolonged destruction. So, heed this warning - celebrate the holiday with your dinos or risk their wrath; I’ve seen it in person! :eek: ---
