A Rhinosersaurus is not a dinosaur, silly...
Currently Listening
Endtroducing...
By DJ Shadow
see relatedA transcript of Tuesday nights converastion whilst playing Ring of Fire (also known as Circle of Death and Kings) with a few friends.
Emma goes to choose a card, and pulls out the 10 of Clubs. This means she has to select a category, such as 'Simpsons characters' and then starts with the first example of something from that category, ie. Bart. No example can be repeated and the first person to fail to come up with another example drinks two fingers worth from their glass.
EMMA: The category is (pauses for a while thinking)...dinosaurs, so to start off; Velociraptor.
CHRIS: Stegosaurus, my personal favourite.
ME: (clearly struggling) Um... how about... I know, Rhinosersaurs.
MATT: (laughs) You can't just make it up as you go along.
ME: I didn't, that's a dinosaur right?
MATT: Are you joking?
ME: (embarressed) No. Thats the only dinosaur I know aswell, well at least it's the only one I thought I knew.
MATT: Oh.
A transcript of conversation earlier today:
(EMMA walks into the room, with phone in hand, and passes it in my direction.)
EMMA: Becca wants to speak with you for a moment if thats allright.
(BECCA is EMMA'S sister. I take the phone to my ear.)
ME: Hey there.
BECCA: Did you think that there was a dinosaur called Rhinosersaurus?
ME: Maybe.
(Fits of girly laughter can be heard down the other end as Becca tells her Mum.)
BECCA: (still giggling) Your so silly.
I am 21 years old. Whilst Becca (who loves dinosaurs) is 5.
ps1. If you are Siamese twins and one of you enjoyed this entry then please rate this five stars. If both of you liked it then 'recommend' it aswell. This is done purely for research into the likes and interests of Siamese twins, and I am in no way using this method as a tool to promote my own writing. Consider this a disclaimer.
ps2. I wanted to point out I'm not stupid, but just have a dinosaur complex.

Oh thank you for sharing that.
There should be... a Rhino... whatever. lol
I needed that laugh.
HAHA.
I like the fact that Becca is 5!
LMAO Hehehe. Rhinoceroses look like dinosaurs, but they arent.
^_^ Great laugh, thanks a ton.

@DarkAngelKat00 - I think that might be where I got confused. Although the pre-consumed alcohol probably didn't help.
hahaha...omg! tat's really cute of you....*chuckles*
FUN FACTS
I'm not a siamese twin, so I cannot take part in your study.
Clearly, I am being discriminated against.
The Organization for Increased Acceptance of Non-conjoined Persons is on its way to your house to give you a proper beat down.
The acronym for the above non-profit organization is OFIAONP. That doesn't spell anything. It'll never be famous, at this rate.
@danteCARAX - Hahaha probably not! Oh and I'm not a siamese twin, but I have a pair that are imaginary friends of mine, so they starred and recommended your post! because all of us liked it. :D

A rhinosersaurus! LOL! Whoever thought of that one?
A rhinosersaurus! LOL! Whoever thought of that one?
I've played that game before. I always screw it up just from the pressure.
Thank you for that. You made my day with laughter.
@DarkAngelKat00 - Ah, no problem. Unfortunately my imaginary friends aren't siamese, so they could not partake in the research.
@grammarboy - Your welcome. I'm glad you could laugh at my expense. I'm beginning to realise how very foolish this post makes me look. *sighs* nevermind.
@angelwingfive - Yep. The pressure gets to me just as much as the alcohol. Sometimes I wonder what playing this game sober would be like.
lol, they sure look like dinosaurs!
Further proof that public education has failed miserably.....
@morrighu - Yes, I am the living embodiment of everything that is wrong with modern education systems. Thankyou for that insight.
Well it should be. If I was a paleontologist I would name my next dinosaur a rhinocersaurus in your honour Dante
ps I am a fraternal twin, and one of my multiple personalities is(are) siamese twins.
We all loved it, but unfortunately neither of the siamese twins are paleontologists, they're both accountants which just goes to show that you can have a fabulously interesting birth defect and still be utterly boring.
There is hope for us all.
haha
