Hmm…on the one hand, my girlfriend showing up at our wedding in a dinosaur costume would be awesome.

On the other, the inaccuracies in that one would drive me batcrap. \>\_\>

1)Did they serve [this](http://www.windywine.com/shop/tyrannosaurus-red) at the reception?

2)Did she wear it for the honeymoon?

No. She had a strap-on Triceratops outfit.

Interesting. I clicked into this thread because I thought someone was \*suing \*dinosaurs, and the OP wanted people to sign a petition or something.

Carry on.

My husband could have pulled this off at our wedding, without having to see through the neck. He’s 6’10".

I thought it was 50-50 whether someone was wearing a suit made of dinosaur scales, or whether dinosaurs were suing because they’d been served overly hot coffee at McDonald’s.

The lead on “Last Man on Earth” has also been walking around in a Dino suit too. I found out who sells them but they won’t give a price over the Net.

Gee … these cheap T. Rex suits look every bit as convincing as the ones used in that wonderful 1948 clunker of a movie, **Unknown Island**

(By the way, that’s not a giant gorilla in some of those shots, making this look like a proto-_King Kong vs. Godzilla_.

That’s supposed to be a Giant Ground Sloth.  
Really.

I suspect that the costume shop just happened to be out of Giant Ground Sloth suits, and they’d already blown most of their budget on T. Rex suits, so the Powers That Be said “Just use a gorilla suit. Who’s gonna know what a Giant Ground Sloth looks like, anyway?”)

Who else was equally underwhelmed by the “priceless look” on the groom’s face? Gee, he laughed.

I’m such a kill-joy!
