The meaning of life

Bob the human  and Grrr the mighty T-Rex  were sitting by the swamp enjoying coffee and rootbeer when Grrr happened to look over at his human pal and noticed that Bob looked troubled.
"What is the matter pal...out of coffee?" asked Grrr.
"No. I was reading some philosophy and it got me thinking about the meaning of existence.'" replied Bob.
Grrr roared and replied "No offence pal, but you humans have only been around what 500.000 years ..a 1000,000 at most?"
"What has that got to do with anything with the deeper questions?" asked  an annoyed Bob
"Everything. Pal we dinos have been around 300.000.000 years perhaps longer and we figured it out."
"Ok, Oh  wise reptile, what is the secret of life?" asked Bob.
"Simple old ape. There is no secret. You can tell your friends and your foes not by what they say but by how they act." You get what you can catch and anything "Free" is not. There you go 300.000.000 years of wisdom. Have a donut pal and enjoy the day."
With a smile of enlightment, Bob reached for the donut box.
Thus speakith Grrr and thus endth the lesson.

Vlad's dinner

Vlad was feeling a bit depressed so Grrr invited him over for dinner.
Stef and Gretta had decided to make him a big dish of galosh and Bob and Grrr went out and found some CDs from Romania..old folk music..it was to be a grand night.
But Gretta did not have her glasses she is a bit vain about that and put garlic salt in the dish and while Vlad loved the taste, indeed he asked for a second plate, it was just like his mother used to make, he was not yet undead when he last ate that dish. Now alas well the garlic salt did not have a good reaction.
Seems that he hates folk music of any sort and is into Show tunes.

The Green vampire or why Gretta needs her glasses.

Vlad the vampire and long time pal of Grrr and Bob was feeling down.
The troubles in Eastern Europe had put a stop to his long awaited plans to return to the old home on the 100th    anniversary of his becoming undead and his movie theater was having a hard time finding 32 mm films. it seems that all the new releases were on CD/blue ray and as far as Vlad was concerned, that was not the same.
Now many people believe that Vamps can only drink blood, that is, that they, in the words of The Count, "do not sup" and, for some of the older undead, this is true.
But Vlad and some of the "Youngsters" among the Undead have, through practice, maintained the ability to eat and enjoy food.
Gretta and Stef, knowing this, and being the kind and gentle ladies that they are, decided to cheer Vlad up by making him a big plate of Romanian goulash.  There in hangs our story.
To be continued.

Snickers part vi

"Call me Grrr Kids."
Grrr did the shot.
If you look at the ad on TV, you will see "Godzilla" eat the snicker.
Grrr finished up and headed back to dino town.
As he and Bob met under their tree for their morning run, Bob noticed that Grrr as eating something.
"Hey, pal what ya eating?" Bob asked.
Tossing a  candy bar to Bob Grrr said. "Try some ole ape. Some of the things you apes come up with are not bad."
"This is good pal. But since when to T-Rex eat candy bars?" asked Bob.
"Long story pal, have another bar and I will tell ya all about it as we go."

The End

Starting tomorrow  Grrr stories will be found on Grrr's cave.

Snickers part V

Dropping his smart phone, the now shaking producer, turned to one of his flock of assistants and said. 
"Don't..Don't just stand there get..get..Mr. Grrr his root beer!"
"I..I..have to take a..a  meeting..I gotta.." said the now contrite producer and he and his flock of gofers hurried away.
The two young PR people, who looked like big seventh graders to Grrr, looked at each other and smiled.
"That was righteous Mr. Grrr." the guy said. 
"Oh cool-el  Dino Dude" that guy always treats people like dirt. Did you see his face?"
 "Better than that Betty, I got a picture"  the PR guy said holding up his phone. 
"But dino dude we still need the snicker shot. Tell you what Mr. Grrr, If you do the shot, I will get you a big can of root beer to wash it down." offered Billy.
"Better than that Dino dude, if you do the shot I will get Billy to give you a copy of the picture of that producer's face when you scared the heck out of him."

Grrr said "Call me Grrr kids. you got a deal!"

"Root beer is not healthy.  The insurance people don't approve .. too much sugar Mr Grrr." 
"How about some coconut water?" The producer asked in a nasty voice.
Grrr looked at the producer.
"Pal, you ever see JP 1 ? " asked Grrr
"Of course Mr. Grrr" said the producer in a rather condescending tone "it is a classic."
"You remember the part where I ate the lawyer?" Grrr asked .
"Of course Mr. Grrr.  Very good special effects for the time." replied the patronizing producer. 
Looking at the producer with a evil toothy T-Rex grin; Grrr said "it was not special effects!"
Dropping his smart phone, the now shaking producer, turned to one of his flock of assistants and sad. 
"Don't..Don't just stand there get..get..Mr. Grrr his root beer!"

". in case you are too darn ignorant to speak Greek , a fearsome hunter and meater ." Roared an angry Grrr Rex.
"Look Mr. Grrr" the young PR guy said. "It is not like it was back in the old days when you made JP. Now the project has to make money as it grows. The Studio paying upfront? Why that went out before I was born...Back in the 90's, the old days."
"Back in the 90's, the old days..." said a surprised Grrr.

"Snickers?'

"Humm. is Stef around? " asked Bob
"Nope she and Gretta went to that new dress shop. Ever since Stef showed her malls, she is mad for the places. So we wont get caught." said Grrr
"On one condition...give me the key for your rootbeer supply and remember that the store is closed today." said Bob.

"How nice. What happened to hiring a stuntman?" asked Bob.
"Well, we ..we are having a little problem there. ' replied Grrr
"Yeah? Do tell ole reptile".
"Well...we.ur..we had this big Godzilla foot and the software to run it..but it was in Japanese and the guy putting it in made a mistake..but the stunt guy is ok. He will be out of the hospital in a few months." replied Grrr with a reassuring smile.
"You said "Stuntmen" pal what happened to the other guys, did you fix that program?" asked Bob.
"Of course we fixed it..or tried to, but it was no go. So I used my size changing ring and got to 65 feet..he was kinda hard to see down there....and after the paramedics left the stuntman union called and said no more.
But pal we gotta have that shot. Look, I cannot wear my specs in costume but I got these new contacts"... said Grrr

"Well there is this shot where Godzilla steps down on this human..a close up ...a face shot..a to die for shot.."said Grrr the old actor in his reptilian soul raising to the surface.
"Yeah ?" said Bob expecting a booby trap, the old teacher in Bob's soul coming alert.
"I was wondering..it would really help and won't take long if you could do that part" ask Grrr with an innocent look on his T-Rex face.
"I am not a actor or a member of your guild. Besides don't they have stunt people for that sort of thing?" replied Bob.
"As for the acting, i can you a card, in fact I had Bruce make a few calls and here it is.' said a smiling Grrr handing Bob a membership card.
"Yeah pal and I even paid up the dues for the first year." Grrr said nodding.
"How nice. What happened to hiring a stuntman?" asked Bob.
"Well,  we ..we are having a little problem there.   ' replied Grrr

"You mean?' asked Bob
"Yep", replied Grrr "Seppuku!" 
"I did not know that they still do that." replied Bob
"The older families? Sure. You don't change a 3000 year old culture in 50 or 60 years." 
"Speaking of helping a friend, ole ape; I need a favor?" asked Grrr.
"What do you need pal?" relied Bob.
"Well, you know in these 60 promo spots, you gotta hook the public and make them WANT to see the movie and so ya need the "did I see that shot." said Grrr.
"Yeah, that seems logical" replied Bob.
"Well there is this shot where Godzilla steps down on this human..a close up ...a face shot..a to die for shot.."said Grrr the old actor in his reptilian soul raising to the surface.
"Yeah ?" said Bob expecting a booby trap, the old teacher in Bob's soul coming alert..
