Zombies This is acting????

Zombies!

• 

"I hate zombie movies" said Grrr and Andy Ant nodded his antennae in agreement.
"Where is the art..where is the  craft in a zombie flick?"

"Night of the Living Dead" was a scary movie." said Bob.

"OK, that was a good horror flick" said Andy  and Grrr nodded in agreement.
"But this whole wave of zombie movies...junk..just junk" said  Andy Ant.

"True, get a mob of extras, pour some red dye on them, dress, I won't use the word "costume"  dress them in dirty rags, no lines, so you don't have to pay  them more than scale and   two or three film school dropouts running around screaming...this is art?  This is scary?" Asked Grrr.

"The Creature would have a fit...Vlad has gone back to  the medical field and Bruce has retired to his cruise gig."

"Hold on, Grrr ..The Creature..The Creature from the Black Lagoon...You guys know the Creature???" asked Bob.

"Yep," replied Andy, " In the monster community all the old hands know each other. The Creature got so mad when they started this wave of Zombie movies, he headed back to the Amazon. I felt the same way  and went home to the nest.  I mean Zombies..they make "Friday the 13th"  look like "Henry V". 

The whole monster movie field has gone to the dogs....worse than those beach party monsters in the 1960's"  Grumbled Grrr.
"Most zombies, stumble along at what 1/2 a mile an hour? How can something that slow catch anyone?" said Grrr.
"Dont you think that they say something about the times we live in ?" Bob asked.
"Yep, that the folks making films now..." said Andy  would not know a good horror movie if it bit them on the tail!" Agreed Grrr.

THEM IV

"So", said Andy Ant, "I was making the rounds trying to get someone to look at my project with no luck. you know how that goes Grrr. " Sure do , agreed Grrr . My feet still get tired thinking about it."
"Well", continued Andy, taking a drink of his sweet tea and a bite of his sugar cookie,"  I was very tired and stopped into a dinner by the studio in Culver City, big fella for a human looked at me and said "good makeup" I just nodded and ordered a cup of  cocoa with lots of sugar. The big human looked at me and said "why not put a bit of cocoa in your sugar...hard day?"
" I nodded, now as I said we don't take to strangers but LA is a strange place and I missed the Nest and this was the first kindly word any being had said to me since I left home. Well, we got to talking and the big human, his name was Jim, told me that he was an actor looking for a project, not doing too well as he did not have a lot of backing..ie money, I told him that I had a project but I could not get anyone to look at it. He said. "Heck, son, I will look at it."
He read my script and said. " This is great, but I could never afford the special effects".
That is when I decided to take the chance of a lifetime, I told him that I was an ant and about the nest and that we would not need a lot of SF money as the whole nest would help out".



"Now fellas, most places, humans would not have believed me or if they did , they would have pulled out a can of  "Raid". Not Jim and not Hollywood. Jim nodded lit a cigarette and asked me over to his house to talk. We  talked all night and set up the picture right that night.
He asked me where I lived and I told him that I had not found a place, being a ten foot ant it was hard to get a room so I was living in the park. Jim, said that he could see the problem but that sleeping in the park was dangerous, lots of strange people in Hollywood. He allowed as he had an extra room and that I was welcome. Folks starting out in those days helped each other."
 "As long as they were not competing for the same part." said Grrr with a grin.
"True enough". said Andy. "Well, the next day we went to the studio and set things up."

THEM part lll

  

THEM lll

"Yep", said Andy Ant, every day after a good nights work, we would get together in the Nest for a few hours of TV. The Queen, bless her, started to get annoyed, seemed that every creature had a TV show.
Dogs, cats, fish, but not us ants. So she called me into her presence and give me my orders. now you fellas gotta understand; a personal command from the Queen...well, there just is no higher honor, so when she told me to leave the nest and go to Hollywood and  square things, well I was nervous but orders are orders.  You were a marine Bob, so you understand how it is." "I do indeed, Andy" Bob replied.
"Well, a couple of the winged ants got me to Hollywood and ..."
"Andy, hold on. Are you telling me that a 10 foot ant can walk around Hollywood and not be noticed?     I have read that Hollywood is strange but that  is just too much."
"Bob", said Grrr, "you don't understand "The Business". Andy could walk around Hollywood  all day or night  and as long as he carried a scrip in his hand or said "the studio" to anyone who asked, no one would notice.  If the cops, or anyone, did stop him at all, it would only be to ask if he could get them a part."
"Come on Grrr, I... " replied Bob,...
 "It's the Queen's own truth, I will give up sugar for a year if it is not. EVERY being , human or creature, wanted to be in the movies in those days." said Andy Ant.

To be continued..

Them.....part ll

           "THEM"

"Yep, the early 50's,". Andy Ant continued, "the nest was in the desert of New Mexico, had been forever, we tend to stay in one place, when the humans came into our area and started building towns. Now from an ant pov humans can be annoying, no offense, Bob" said Andy with a wiggle of his antennae. "None taken," said Bob raising his cup to Andy, "we kinda feel the same way toward ants."
"Fair enough", replied Andy. "Any way the good thing about humans is that they always and I mean always have sugar and leave some around where a hard working ant can find some.
So when we saw that the humans were building a town, the Queen sent the scouts out who soon returned to the nest with the good news of sugar in abundance. So out went the collection crews. Well, for a long time life was good. All the sugar the nest could want  and TV.

“TV ?"  Asked Grrr.” 

"Well, we, ah sorta, found a TV and projector that the humans left behind and a  generator.   One of the fellas figured out how to attach it to a treadmill for power and we disguised the antenna as a cactus plant.

Now, you kids have no idea what TV was like back in the 50's .."Father Knows Best..The Gail Storm Show.."26 Men" and the "Million Dollar Movie"....good clean stuff that the whole nest could enjoy.  
That is where I got my love for the movies".
"Anyway, one day there was this big bang and a very bright flash.
Well, now it did not hurt the nest none as we tend to go out at night, cooler in the desert, and we were deep in our home. First thing we noticed was that that nice town and all the sugar was gone. blown to bits. That did make the nest sad for a spell But the queen said that we had to put it behind us and get on with being ants.
Well , you know the strangest thing was the the nest seemed to shrink and we had to do a powerful lot of work re sizing it."  

“SO, ASKED BOB, “YOU GUYS DID NOT REALIZE THAT YOU WERE GETTING BIGGER?”

“Nope", replied Andy Ant,“I guess that that may seem strange, but all we saw were other ants from our nest; we  don’t get along too kindly with strangers, so don’t live near them, and we were all getting big.

 You lived in the desert Bob?” Andy asked. 
“25 Years.” replied Bob.

 “So, you know that there is not much to measure yourself against. Any way we just grew , enjoyed some sugar on the Queen’s Birthday and did our ant thing.  Except for TV of course.” 

   To be continued.

"THEM"

Bob and Grrr were sitting around the lair in the swamp watching monster movies..when Grrr put "Them" on the projector.
"You know Grrr, this one of the best monster movies, remember we used to show it to the wolfchildren? Great special effects..those giant ants look real."
" Look, real? buddy, I got news for you. They are real." said Grrr "
Yeah, right. sure"..said Bob ,"tell me another one."
"They are real, I know some of those guys from Hollywood. Wanna meet one?" Asked Grrr?

"Buddy, said Bob, what have you been putting in your rootbeer?"

"Ok, wiseguy, said Grrr, taking out his cell phone, punching a number, "Andy, hey buddy, doing well..how are things in the nest? ..glad  to hear it, You free today? I would like you to meet my buddy Bob...yeah, the teacher, he is a big fan, ...ok, check with the queen, I will wait.

You can? great! Please tell her Majesty, I said thanks. See you soon."

About ten minutes later, Bob heard a whistling  "shshshshshsh sound at the door of the lair as he turned to look two BIG antennae appeared. "what the.."Bob said, reaching for his Mauser and chambering a round of 8mm fmj.

"Chill out  Bob," said Grrr with a grin," that is only Andy, you wanna scare him?"

"Scare Him!!!" Said Bob as he worked the bolt to take the round out of the chamber, put it back in the magazine, and  placing the Mauser on "safe" put it back in the corner, "I almost spilled my coffee!!!!!"

"Andy, pal come on in and meet Bob. Don't mind the Mauser, Bob was a Marine."

"Well, howdy Bob". said Andy Ant, "Nope don't mind that rifle atall, from New Mexico..grew up with shooting irons..don't rightly feel at home around folks that don't like rifles."

An amazed Bob. shaking Andy's hand said, "Sir, this is truly an honor, I have seen your movie a hundred times and never tire of it. It is one of the great American Classics."

"Well, now that is mighty kind of you Bob, please call me "Andy" I have heard good things from Grrr about  you as well, seems you used my little movie to teach our great American History,  the Queen and the whole Nest was mighty proud of that."

Handing Andy a big plate of sugar cookies and a large class of southern sweet tea, Grrr said, "we are about to look at "Them."    Before we start, Bob was wanting to know how you got into the movies...he actually believed that they were rubber ants in the movie."

Looking at Bob and wiggling his big antennae in laughter," Nothing to be ashamed of", a kindly Andy said to an embarrassed Bob. "Just shows we did our job well, that is what people were supposed to think."

"Well, said Andy, " it was about 52 or 53 I think......" to be continued....

Pride  .

Grrr the T-Rex and Bob the human were out for their morning jog.
"You know, Grrr." said a puffing Bob, "This is good for us"
"Yeah right" said Grrr as he huffed along. "Remember those ten mile runs around Cal State?"
"It seem a lot easier back then ".said Bob
"How many miles do you think we covered Grrr?"
Bob asked.  

"Enough!" puffed Grrr

"I agree" said a red faced Bob, "Nothing could make me run any more".
Just than two young runners came floating by and one said. "Say , Pop, you old guys are not doing too bad, but you better  take care, I mean at your age..."
Grrr looked at Bob and with a roar from both they picked up  the pace and ran the two other runners into the ground.  Clasping hand to claw both roared "We still rule". 
"Well'. one of the other runners said "you old guys sure surprised us.
Take care now" they said as they walked to their car.
As soon as the other runners left, Grrr and Bob fell into the Bench,
"Now" Bob said to Grrr, "If we can just make it to that snack stand across the street...
"Coffee'. cried a done in Bob.
 " Rootbeer"... echoed an exhausted Grrr.

Happy New Year.

The Christmas Dino...Christmas EVE....

The Christmas Dino. Part IV
The pals were running around trying to figure how to get Grrr to the North Pole by Christmas Eve. The Christmas Dino had hurt his tail and Grrr agreed to fill in.
 " Environmental Pass..Green zone..how can it be a green zone it is covered in snow!! picture ID..I.." I am Grrr Rex." said an annoyed and worried Grrr.
"Look. Perhaps you can use your size changing ring and I can mail you to the North Pole." said Bob.
"Too late pal. Have you seen the lines at the PO office?" replied Grrr.
When Stef and Gretta came home and saw the guys glum, they asked what the problem was and Grrr explained. "So you see babe, I gotta get to the North Pole."
 Two lovely faces dino and human looked at each other as Gretta and Stef gave each other the "wife look." Stef said "Boys your friend Bruce the Shark, owns ships and planes."
.Gretta finished. "Have you boys called him?" 
Bob and Grrr looked at each other.
"Uh..no Babe." said Bob. "But we were just going to.  
Right Grrr? " yes..this very minute!" replied Grrr. 

Grrr called Bruce the Shark ; who was a big fish in the Movie and shipping business. They had met and became lifelong friends when Grrr was in pictures.
Bruce the Shark answered his pvt line.
"Grrr : )  boychick, Hows by you and the family? Merry Christmas a good one you should have."
"We are well Bruce, how are things with you?" replied Grrr
"At my age...you should ask? Thanks to you and your human friend Bob, he is well? I have cable in my tank, life is good."
Bruce, I know it is a rush, but if you can, I need a favor?"
"For you Grrr, a pleasure...ask..ask."
Grrr explained to Bruce about the Christmas Dino and that he Grrr had to get to the North Pole.
"The Kiddern must have Christmas". Exclaimed Bruce.
"A few calls..within the hour... by the phone you should wait." replied Bruce
Half a hour latter Bruce called back....
"Grrr..my boy..a helicopter will be landing in front of your cave in 5 minuets..He will take you to the Dinocity airport where my plane will be waiting ..to the North Pole he will take you..on the snow he can land...I had a GPS with the Christmas route, incase you should need. " said Bruce.
"What about the Green pass and ID I..." said Grrr.
"Foolishness,,a call here...a call there..everyone loves Christmas..a done deal : )
Merry Christmas my boy!" said Bruce.
Grrr made it to the Airport and the North Pole...as you read this he is packing the slead and putting the route in Bruce's GPS..  A Merry Christmas to ALL     : )

The Christmas Dino Part lll.
"I gotta get to the North Pole." Grrr told Bob "and I only got a few days.  I gotta learn the  Christmas dino's route."
"Ok. So how can I help?" asked Bob.
"Well, my computer is down. Can you look on the net for a flight out of Dinoport to the North Pole?" 
"Not a problem pal." After a half an hour of searching the net, Bob went over to Grrr's cave. . Looks like I was wrong.  it  is a problem.  Old reptile, every flight is booked and it seems that even T-Rex need an  Id to get on a plane. You got a picture ID?" asked Bob.
"I am Grrr Rex.  Everybody knows me"...I am the Head of the Dino..I got diplomatic immunity." roared Grrr.
"That may be old pal, but No ID...No ticket. Worse there are no flights".
"Worser, it seems that the North Pole is a protected site and you gotta get an environmental pass to go there." replied Bob
"We gotta think of something pal!" replied Grrr

"Gonna need some help" said Grrr as he walked over to Bob's house.
Banging on the garage door with his tail, Grrr roared "Pal. come out.  I need some help." Turning off his case tumbler, Bob came out annoyed " I got things to do;  I gotta finish cleaning this brass, resize and reloading it.  I am down to one half box of ammo for my  .45. This better be good ya rotten reptile."

 "Is Christmas important?" asked Grrr.

 "Of course, what do you think I am a rotten progressive humanist??" replied Bob.

 "Well, the Christmas dino hurt his tail and asked me as head rex to fill in."
"That is different." putting down his reloading stuff

 "The kids, gotta have Christmas."

The Christmas Dino part 1

The Christmas Dino

As Grrr was settled in comfort on his old  sofa, rootbeer in claw,  the phone rang in Grrr's cave.  He was watching JP and called to Gretta. "Babe. the phone."
 But the phone just kept ringing. 
Remembering that Stef and Gretta had gone to the Mall for some last minute shopping, roaring , "best part of the picture." Grrr, put his JP DVD on hold and went to the phone. 

"Grrr Rex, what do ya want?" He roared as he picked up the phone." What ever ya selling ..I don't....What the the Christmas Dino...hurt his tail...needs some Rex to fill..kids GOTTA have Christmas...

"Ok," said Grrr. I will do it."

To be continued

" I won't tell if you don't."

Stef, Gretta and Flower had gone to the craft show in the town square.

   Dr. H, Grrr and Bob were sitting around watching old science Fiction movies on the projector. 

"Ya know guys, these old si fi movies are the best." said Bob. 

"Ya got that right.ole ape." said Grrr as he drank his root beer.

"I..umm would venture ..um to say that..that is a case well made." said Dr. H.  as he sipped his carrot juice.

"Say, Were we supposed to eat organic junk and drink well water? asked Bob.

"Yeah, and go to the gym?..both pals gave at Dr. H."the guy look"

Uh. fellows, it would seem that this is a matter, the nature of which, would seem to call forth that reasoned response that a gentle creature of discretion   requires." Replied Dr. H

Bob and Grrr look at each other and said "UH???"

"Fellas" said Dr. H. "If you say nothing to your ladies, I shall say nothing to dear Flower of our  hum....cinematic pastimes"

"We will drink to that". said Bob and Grrr raising can and cup in salute. 

At the Mall. 

As the ladies set down to lunch at the "Natural Organic Tea Shoppe"   
Flower said " I hope that Heddy does not hurt himself at the gym he is not as physical as Bob or Grrr."

Stef and Gretta exchanged looks. 
"She  led a very sheltered life in our pack." said Gretta to Stef. 

"Flower dear, unless i miss my guess, our boys are..." 

Sitting in front of the movie projector watching old movies after a very short trip to the gym.  

Bob has his coffee cup in his hand." said Stef with a smile

"Grrr" put in Gretta "Has a can of root beer firmly in claw and your  Dr. H a glass of juice."  

"But if that ..why not just say..I don't understand guys!" said Flower

"Not to worry sister." said Gretta  "No lady understands gentlemen. they are one of the great and more interesting mysteriee of life."

"True." Agreed Stef with a smile.

Dino in the Chimney

.

Bob was sitting on the coach reading a history book, when he heard a voice call “help!…help!"

“WHAT the heck?”  Bob  said as he went looking.

 Someone needed help.

He looked out the front door…no one….out the back door…nothing...

Scratching his head, he started back to his book, when he heard a “help me!” coming from the fireplace???!!

Getting a flashlight, he looked up the chimney to see a T-Rex head looking back.

“Grrr, what the heck are you doing?” Bob asked.

“Help, said Grrr, my size changing ring fell off. Pal, you gotta find it!”

Bob, looked at the fireplace but did not see Grrr’s ring. So getting down on all fours, he swept the beam of the flashlight along the floor till he saw Grrr’s ring under a chair.

Bob put Grrr’s ring on his claw and adjusted it to make Grrr human size…with a crash and a roar Grrr came sliding out the Chimney to land with a bang on his tail.

“What the heck were you doing in my chimney old reptile? " asked Bob.

“It is Christmas Bob….You never heard of the Christmas Dino?” replied Grrr.

"you dizzy Dino! It is 7 days till Christmas!!!!" replied Bob.

"Old Ape. You never heard of rehearsing?" asked Grrr

Dino Rap

Grrr got rather annoyed at people saying the T-Rex were birds.

My name Grrr remember it fool.
My scales are green and my tail is cool.
You are a light headed tool a Ph.D fool
We rex are reptile. That is no lie.
You can take your science off and die.
You got the wit of a half dead frog and any brain you had is lost in fog.

Christmas Shopping

.

Grrr, the T-Rex and his human pal Bob looked at each other.

“Pal,” said Grrr “You know we have to do this.”

“I know, ole reptile.” Replied Bob “But that does not mean we gotta like it”

“True.” said Grrr.

Taking a big shot of root-beer, Grrr walked to the car as Bob took a big gulp of coffee.

It is the dreaded MALL DOOM and Grrr and Bob had to get gifts for friends and family.

Grrr had his list and Bob his and in about an hour they were done.

Meeting at an interspecies bar, they checked off their lists over Root-Beer and Coffee.

Gtetta…check said Grrr.           Stef…check said Bob

The kids…check said Grrr.       Friends…check said Bob

Friends... check said Grrr.

“We done buddy?” asked Grrr…”Yep’, said Bob

“Now we just have to make sure the wives don’t drag us back here.”

“Bite your tongue Grrr.” said Bob “The walls have ears!”

"You are making that up Grrr. All I see is an empty icebox!" replied Bob.

"That is because you see but you do not observe." replied Sherlock Grrr.

"Clearly there is a space in the icebox where the ice is thinner and if you look closely, you can see the impressions of the bottom of the cans." 

"That is all very well, Grrr, but how do you know that the cans were unopened?" asked Bob in his Watson voice.

""Clearly by dear chap", replied Grrr in HIS bet Holmes voice, "Had the cans been open there would be a discoloration in the ice and there is none." 

"Remarkable Grrr." replied Bob.

"Elementary my dear Bob." replied Grrr

"Ok--Ok-- but I want my derby hat and pipe. If we are gonna do it, we are gonna do it right." said Bob
"Elementary, my dear Bob." said Sherlock Grrr.
The two pals proceeded  to the  site of the mystery.
"Hum" said Sherlock Grrr, taking out his glass and examining the ice box.
"What do you think Grrr ?" asked Bob.
"Not enough data yet my dear chap. It is a capital mistake to theorize without data. Still we can say....that there were 24 cans here ..they were unopened ..and they were removed less then 6 hours ago and not consumed here." 

"You are making that up Grrr. All I see is an empty icebox!" replied Bob.

"That is because you see but you do not observe." replied Sherlock Grrr.

"Clearly...."

Putting on his deerstalker hat, Grrr said "This calls for Sherlock Rex." Said Grrr.
"Hum..I need a watson. " said Grrr to himself.
Going over to the Library he called his friend Bob.
As Bob came out of the library he saw Grrr with the deerstalker hat and a magnifying glass in his claw. 
"What is up pal?" Bob asked
Explaining about the missing root beer Grrr said  "The game is afoot."
"Look pal, the store is right down the street. I will buy ya a couple of cases. This is stupid. I don't wanna be Watson." complained Bob.
"Who was it who had the kids read Holmes aloud in Reading Class for 24 years?..Who showed all those Holmes films while I was minding my own business sitting on the desk? Who always said "Watson was smart?"  asked Grrr..
To be continued,

Sherlock Rex

Grrr came home after a hard day at "The Wellness Center" and walked into his cave. Tossing his keys on the table and reaching for the "Clicker" he turned on the TV and reached into the icebox for a cold root-beer.
Not finding any, Grrr said "That is odd, I know I put a few in there this morning." With an mildly annoyed snap of his mighty tail, he went into the garage for some. His reserve supply was GONE.
Gretta and Stef were at the mall and he knew that they did not drink rootbeer.
 Bob was at the library the kids were not home.
Hummm "The Case of the Missing Root Beer."
Putting on his deerstalker hat, Grrr said "This calls for Sherlock Rex."

Tex Rex part 6

"Worse, I called Bruce the Shark!" said Grrr with an evil T-Rex grin.
"That must have been interesting " replied Bob.
"Pard. Ya'll know Bruce?" Tex asked Bob.
"Sure, I met him a few years ago on a cruise Stef and I took with Grrr and Gretta. I know that he is a big shot in the movie business among other things and a very fair and decent being. I do not think he would like a friend of Grrr's  or anyone for that matter to be cheated." said Bob.
"Bruce has been in the Business a while and knows everyone, when he calls folks in the Business listen. Well, Next morning the producer called me in and had this new contract; I got star billing, 10% of the gross, a big raise, mah own trailer. Fellas said that they were fixin to talk to me bout this but this was the first chance. Found out later that Bruce had had a powwow with them". said Tex with a grin. 
"Well, I finished the flick, paid mah bills and as Bruce suggested put half in a computer stock and such. Now? Well still doing a bit of actin, but old Ringo and me a'int worried about things any more.
I was fixen to visit some kin in the swamp and figured that might be nice to see mah pard Grrr.
Turned out even better as I made a new pard." Said a happy Tex

"Well, now the big fella",Tex resumed,  pointing   at Grrr," called me and asked me if I would do him a favor and consider the part, which if ya'all consider that  he was a "name" after JP, was a  mighty kind way of him puttin it. Any way, I went down and was just expectin some extra work, a walk on a bit of roarin, that sort of thing. But the Big fella who was to play the Aztec Rex had a contract dispute, the producer and director were on a very tight shoot schedule and asked if I would fill in. They used some trick camada work to make me look like a big rex. Well Now after a few days Grrr calls to say howdy and as we were talking about the  new part  Grrr asked if they adjusted my contract as I was now playin the starin role. Well I said I just trust that they do right by me."  Tex stopped to take a drink of his sweet tea.
"You are too trusting Shorty. Ole Ape, they were still paying him as an "extra'" walk on. no roaring parts,  basic scale. Well we Rex gotta stick together."
"So did you go Jurassic on them pal ?" asked Bob.
"Worse, I called Bruce the Shark!" said Grrr with an evil T-Rex grin.

Tex Rex part 4

"Well now as I recall the phone rang and the big young fella there", pointing to Grrr, "was on the other end...".  said Tex Rex.
"Well, now let me go back a ways. I had been makin pictures for a spell, bit parts, y'all see mostly they were lookin for the big fellas but I did ok.  King Kong paid for mah spread in the hills and there was "Mighty Joe Young" and a few others but by 2005, well, Cowboys and Dino movies were sorta past. Unlessen ya'all wanted to be an anti-hero.This here bad is good and good is bad "edgey" foolishness? Nope."   I just don't cotton to that.  Younkers both dino and human go to those movies and Ah of the mind that ya'all got a duty to teach young'uns right. 
Ah, not opposed to playin the wild rex, honest huntin and eaten is what rex do . So I had a few parts in "Lost world" type films. it was the Duke who fixed me up on the 1,000,000 B.C. cave man movie. 
A bit of TV Saturday Night movie work. Sifi channel. Even did some Japanese movies with Godzilla and Rodan.
Still, Gotta say that things was a mite spare when Grrr called. He had become a Class-dino by then". Turning to look at Grrr, Tex said "that Pard, I gotta say, made all of us Rex proud." 
 "Wasn't nothing." said a modest and a bit embarrassed Grrr. "Blame this ole ape." he said pointing at Bob. 
"Not so, The kids loved him and Gretta. In fact they still ask for him and her." replied Bob
"Well, now the big fella",Tex resumed,  pointing   at Grrr," called me and asked me if I would do him a favor and consider the part in "Aztec Rex". as he was out of the craft, which if ya'all consider that  he was a "name" after JP, was a  mighty kind way of him puttin it. Any way I went down and....."

"Ringo?" said Grrr with a happy roar upon seeing the grazing triceratops.
"Shorty,Where are you old friend?" roared Grrr.
"In here pard." replied Tex.
Grrr came charging in and the two Rex touched claws in friendship.
"Buddy welcome. You been telling those Texan tall tales again?" said Grrr with a happy grin.
"Nope. Tales are not tall, just that anything out side of Texas is small." said a happy Tex.
"I was fixin to tell mah new pard bout "Aztec Rex." said Tex.
"Go to pal." said a happy Grrr. Turning to Bob, "I just fix the parts he gets wrong! That is, if you guys ever get done admiring guns."
"Now pard, somethings are worth admiring. 

Y'all like rifles Bob? I've got the nicest ole Winchaster on Ringo that y'all ever did see."
"I do." replied Bob. "I am a Mauser man and...."
"Don't get this guy  started on Mausers." said a happy Grrr.
"We could go to the range later but you were telling how you met this ole reptile?"
replied Bob.
"Yep" said Tex. rolling a cigarette.  "Y'all mind?" asked Tex.
