Apparently, while you can get married in a T. Rex suit, it’s not a good idea to shovel snow while wearing one: > **[Woman Tries To Shovel Snow In T.

One thing that utterly amazes me about this is that both the wedding prankster in the T. rex suit and the person shoveling the snow in the T. rex suit are _women_. One thing I would \*not \* have guessed in advance was that , if I was told the guess the sex that would just happen to have an inflatable T. Rex suit hanging around to do crazy things with, I would have chosen “guys” in an instant. Not even the craziest of my female friends would have a T. rex outfit let alone do weird things while dressed in them. ---

I’m torn! Part of me hates the “first look” trend because then the guests don’t get to see it, but part of me now loves the prank value. ---

Dammit, _another_ woman dresses up in a T. Rex Dinosaur Suit for marriage-related stuff: > [@](#): > > **Woman Pops The Question To Boyfriend Wearing A T. Rex Costume** > This proposal is fit for a couple of dinosaurs lovers. > Chelsea Pearson of Spokane, Washington wore a T.

You only get one life so make the most of it,’” Pearson told The Huffington Post. > Dunlap, 27, said “yes,” and then attempted to hug her in the inflatable outfit.

Okay, now we have someone in a T. rex suit using a snowblower in Colorado Springs. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/k5QBhXn-tiM/maxresdefault.jpg "T-Rex snow-blowing in Colorado Springs") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5QBhXn-tiM) I suspect that this time, it’s a guy. But I might be wrong. At least it’s more successful than the one I cite above trying to snow shovel in Hull, MAss. Here’s a T. rex shoveling snow in Vermont: [http://www.wcax.com/story/34899315/t-rex-helps-shovel-snow-across-vermont](http://www.wcax.com/story/34899315/t-rex-helps-shovel-snow-across-vermont) And another T. rex with a snowblower, this time in New Hampshire: > **[Watch a T-Rex clear out a New Hampshire driveway with a snowblower](https://www.boston.com/news/local-news/2017/03/15/watch-a-t-rex-clear-out-a-new-hampshire-driveway-with-a-snowblower/)** > > https://www.facebook.com/wcvb5/videos/10155201464049445/ With parts of New England buried under as much as 20 inches of snow, some residents are taking creative approaches to clearing out all the white stuff. New Hampshire \[…\] T. rexes seem to do better with snowblowers than with snow shovels. Must be better suited to those tiny arms. The Esquire site links to still more T. Rex suit craziness: > **[This T-Rex Is a Considerate Neighbor Who Enjoys the Modern Convenience of a...](https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/videos/a41738/t-rex-snowblower/)** > > Way more efficient than shoveling. ---
