Yea, you young punks with your dinosaurs with feathers, colors,  
turkey wattles and high metabolic rates.. and your damned hulla  
hoops, ipods and rock and roll.  Why in my day why, when I was a kids  
in the 70's and 80's all we had were swamp dwelling tail-dragging  
brownish grey dinosaurs!  And we liked them!  Get off my lawn!

  With a smile, nudge-wink and apology to Dan.
