I was kind of thinking that this could serve as an explanation for the extinction of Rex and Terry, too. The video could have done with a little zzzappp at the end when everyone was off camera.

So, any chance for the losers that didn't play to get any after-the-fact access? Like, if we bring you a dead rabbit like Lopsided Cat does?

Aw man. A Sopranos finish. I was waiting for the zapper too.
4 stars! Awesomely sick. And finally an explanation as to exactly what happened to Rex, Terry and their friends.

I agree that there should've been something a wee bit more shazzam at the end. But aside from that:

Well I did make my cat pose with a Zucchini for a pathetic Bacon Cat joke while you were busy this weekend. Of course, maybe that is more pleading for attention and not really groveling.
I could tape a coconut to my carnivorous cat. Or maybe to European swallow...

That should be "a" European swallow. Some typos are just not funny, and my luck, "European swallow" is some strange sex thing...

Oh please, great and merciful writing god, might those of us too cheap, lazy, or sufficiently organized to have gotten around to making a donation partake of your filmic genius, of which we are clearly so unworthy?

On second thought, this does bring up some interesting new insights into modern evilutionary theory.
I mean who did take the first bite? Hmmmm.
Teach the controversy!

Thank you, John ... donation already re-recouped (even if supporting the AUSCS were less than sufficient) with outrageous return and interest!
After I've cleaned my monitor of pizza flecks involuntarily spewed upon the former (dang it, one might think I'd *know* better by now), I hope to play — not copy — this one for my friends' amusement, if that's acceptable to you.
And for the crowd of few-word-reactions, I can only quote Maggie Simpson: "Sequel?"

Wistfully poignant. I already feel satisfied with my return on investment. My wife saw me viewing it, and asked "So why is a grown man watching video of a grown man playing with dinosaur figures?"
I was able to explain between fits of laughter.

Feel free to show to friends. And yeah, I would ask you not to copy it for now; I have plans for it.

No wonder the dinosaurs became extinct.

Will this little treat be unveiled for the unwashed masses? I really wanted to donate for the Creation Museum trip - but I simply didn't have a PayPal account.

I paid ten dollars to watch you play with toys?

Just kidding. I loved it. I wholeheartedly support your move to dinosaur-based science fiction. (Michael Crichton, eat your heart out)

Mr. Scalzi, this trenchant puppet show made me think, "If he was attempting to explain to a bright, but very young, child, the viewpoints of the nice people at the museum, maybe this would be a start".
Then I thought, wouldn't it be cool to get Athena's take on the creationist logic.
Then I thought, well, he'll probably save that for a really, really good story.
Thanks for going there, so we don't have to.
Honestly? Coconuts? Seriously, T-Rex ate coconuts? They SAY these things?
I blame chloramine. Leaches all the lead out of the solder. IQ points dropping like flies.
Regards,
