Nightshadea, when you come down off whatever, Iā€™d like to have a sober discussion of me buying the rights to the name ā€œDinosaur Train Industriesā€. Thanks. ---

So if Iā€™m reading this right (which Iā€™m _far_ from confident about), the premise is that things like stonehenge, the pyramids, and the moai statues were made by dinosaurs. Based on their big heads and little arms, Iā€™m just not sure how well this plan was thought through. ---

Nightshadea, Put down the remote and step away from the PBSKIDS. Iā€™m here, Iā€™ll help. I understand, Iā€™m a parent, Iā€™ve survived Barney, Caillou, Fetch with Rush Rushman and the Dinosaur Train. Iā€™ve seen all the shows. Heck Iā€™m an Odd Squad junkie still today. Just put down the remote, and step away from the tv, come over here where we can just talk. Not very far, you can still see the back of the tv, nobody is going to take it away. I just want to talk, help you through this. Iā€™ve been where you are, I understand. ---
