Does anyone else remember Dinosaurs? That mad Jim Henson TV show? I just restumbled upon it, but once upon a time was an absolute favourite. Circa early primary school methinks, but Googling it now reveals that the intended audience was (probably ragingly leftist) adults: according to Wikipedia, topical issues featured in Dinosaurs include environmentalism, women's rights, sexual harassment, objectification of women, censorship, civil rights, body image, steroid use, allusions to masturbation (in the form of Robbie getting caught doing a mating dance by himself), drug abuse, racism, peer pressure, rights of indigenous peoples, corporate crime, government interference of parenting, and allusions to homosexuality and communism (in the guise of herbivorism). Aww, the 90s...
+ all my new Papermate Gel Rollers have stopped working, what the fuck is this shit? I blame it on the heatwave. Sacrebleu. It's so hot and my computer and spine are frigging up... Yeah sorry, am aware that irritable blogging is foul. But it's all these ch-ch-ch-ch-changes... Generally speaking, I don't know what to think. Perhaps it is the worst thing ever to think you have a chance when really, you just don't? It’s called a reality check. The last thing Amélie wants. Acht neun, gute nacht!

I remember this show - mainly the frustration of the daddy dinosaur that the baby wouldn't call him "daddy". Instead, the baby called him "not the mamma".
Here endeth the utterly pointless comment ;)
