Al Gator was in a bad mood

Al Gator came by Grrr's cave and Al was not a happy gator.
"Hey, pal" asked Grrr. "What is the problem? You look like the store was out of "Earl Gray" again".
*(&(*)(*()*)(*_)_)(*())(*)(*)(* said Al in a sort of Brit/Southern accent.
His family had swum up from what is now Belize, when it was British Columbia and  Al, it is true was hatched in Florida, but when he gets excited his accent is a sort of mix of downhome south and London brit.
Handing Al a cuppa and a plate of moon pies Bob and Grrr waited for Al to calm down.
"It is those bloody dam yanks, no offence Bob."
"None taken Al, but what is the problem pal, perhaps we can help?" replied Bob
" Only if you can get them carpetbagging blokes to go back up North...dam yankees"
" Why a chap cannot even walk about without a lot of yelling and being chased about!  I mean if they are going to put their golf patch between a chap's two waterholes, what is a fella to do but walk and I might add, walk politely on their bloody patch????
"Yelling, cursing, screaming , running about..Chaps  have no manners at all!!!!

May I pray a boon? asked Vlad the vampire

Grrr was watching the TV from his favorite recliner when the phone rang.
"Babe..the phone" yelled Grrr.
"Dear you know I have to get ready for my appointment with Stef."
"%$^* mumbled Grrr as he got up and went to the phone.
"Grrr here wanta ya want?"
"Mine friend is this perhaps a bad time?" asked Vlad  his vampire pal.
"Naw,  What is up pal? You got a new old horror flick down at your movie palace?"
"Nine mine Friend..I mean ya..but that is not why I called.  I fear that I must pray a boon. Replied Vlad.
"Sure, what do you need pal?" asked Grrr.
"Mine friend, I am in your debt..it is not with lightness that I would so ask this boon but the matter is of some weight...Vlad spoke with a old fashioned graveness.
"Pal, my root beer is getting warm, what do ya need? asked Grrr.
"I ..I forget that you moderns..I get to the point as you would say..the very heart of the matter!!!! said Vlad
"Pal, yeah getting to the point is good,,what do ya need? replied Grrr.
"I shall of course reimburse you at once I ...."
"Pal..WHAT DO YA NEED? asked Grrr
"Sun block! I have forgotten mine password for to shop on the net and I have but a small supply left..it comes..is made for us in the old country and if you could order a new supply for me to be dispatched at once?...replied Vlad'
"Ok hold on..same address? asked Grrr
"Yes.  Mine friend"
About two minutes later Grrr was back.
"Ok I had a year's supply sent and with express shipping it should be here in less than a week. Is that ok buddy?"
"Thank you mine friend"  said a relieved vampire  if you will tell me the cost I shall at once dispatch funds...."
"No need pal, it is but a return of favors for those wonderful movie nights  said Grrr..But if I may ask? Since when do ya children of the night need sunblock? "
"Sigh. It is that darn book by Stoker or perhaps the movies again! You vould not believe the trouble that have coursed us undead.  said an annoyed Vlad.
"Sorry pal, I did not know that it was a personal matter..." said an embarrassed  Grrr.
"Nine..Nine mine friend! Not at all never to a friend. It is just..Vell it seems that many get the wrong idea. Of course ve of the Nosferatu may walk in the day! It is just that vell, living in Florida, Vell it is good to be with such friends as you and Bob but the Sun in summer can be a bit much!"
     

jogging

Grrr and Bob were jogging.
"Hey pal" said Grrr.  "This jogging thing is getting  old. I mean it was ok when we did it 20 years ago now?"
"Know what ya mean old reptile. I would be happier reading a book or fixing something."
"Me too, but you know that the girls are in that dance class."
"Yeah. If we were not out running, we would be nagged into going. I dont think the world is ready for a T Rex in a leotard!"
"Hey, ya rotten ape! The idea of an old coffee drinking donuts eating  human  n a gym suit is not appealing either!"
"yep" said Bob. "yep" said Grrr
"Guess we just gotta run...but ya know Burger king is right around the block and I just happen, just by chance, ya understand, to have my wallet." said Grrr.
"Why.. how very odd..I just so happen to have mine as well." replied Bob
The two pals gave each other evil grins  and ran to Burger king. 

Can I hang out here pal?

Bob was sitting in the garage working on a mother board when Grrr stuck his head in.
"Hey pal, ya mind if I hang out here for a while   like three or four months?" asked Grrr
"Nah. You are always welcome pal." said Bob tossing Grrr a rootbeer from Stef's old icebox which he kept filled with milk for coffee or rootbeer for his Rex pal.
"What did ya do to poor Gretta now? It must be good as she was talking to Stef and they both gave me the "wifelook" when they went out to lunch at that Organic shoppe they like.
"I did not do nothing pal. I was just looking at the TV and without think..."
"Pal, you told Gretta something with out thinking...gad!  How long you been married pal?"
"Hey.  I just said that it was kind of funny when her mom fell into the tarpit..I mean I fished her out and all." replied Grrr. "It was funny."
"I am sure that it was old reptile. It even sounds funny. I bet she did not see the humor"
"Nope' replied Grrr "Worse I almost had to go on a visit.  Lucky it was her day to go shopping with Stef and they had that 12 o'clock reservation.
"Only..Only ..I had to say how much I liked her mom and her pack and they are all coming over for a visit."  moaned Grrr.
"Well. It could be worse I mean Flower and Dr H are ok.." said Bob
"Yeah? Ok but you have not seen the rest of the pack and so she is happy but she invited them and her and Stef are going to get organic food..' said Grrr.
"Pal, you are in luck." said Bob
"I dont see how" replied Grrr.
"I heard about this whole thing this morning. Yep the girls were on the phone..and as soon as they went out. I called Bruce the Shark, you know he thinks of you like a son.  Well I told him and asked for help and he called  Gretta's mom and told her that she and the pack had won a "Senior" trip..They are at sea as we speak. It is true that Flower is too young as are Stef and Gretta..Dr. H ? He could go but ya know he wont go without Flower and Bruce  loves having beings his own age around, he will show old movies and do his act."
"Old ape. I take it back.  No matter what I may have said. You are NOT as dumb as you look." roared Grrr.   
"At least not dumb enough to make mother in law jokes to my wife! replied a smiling Bob as he picked up a coffee and donut.                           

Human elections

Grrr, the mighty T Rex was sitting in front of his BIG screen TV watching the news with a big bowl of popcorn, a plate of bronto burgers and a Rex size can of Root Beer, ( He uses a keg and makes a hole for the strew with his claw.
Gretta asked: "Grrry, I dont understand. I can see why Bob follows human politics, he is human and Stef sort of likes it too. But dear, we are dinos and except for knowing enough to have a polite interest for the sake of our human friends.. Well, I dont see why you watch and follow human politics on the Net so much?"
"Babe, this is the best show in town..why the monkey people have me in stitches! I have never seen anything so funny since my mother in law fell in the tar pit."
"Hummm I did not think my poor mom falling in the tarpits was very funny and you did take your time getting her out..come to think of it..." 

Not going to Japan this year?

"Hey  pal, I see that they are making another Godzilla movie. Ya filling in for him again?" Bob asked Grrr.
"Nope.  I would. G is a pal and all that but Gretta wont go to Japan and we always go on vacation together."
"I heard..I mean ' From what she told Stef Gretta liked Japan." said Bob
"Oh yeah, Japan is nice and the people really like us rex but ..."replied Grrr
"But  Well, I dont get it than, Why dont ya want to go back?  No part?
"Naw, They asked.  But like I said Gretta wont go. She picked up the health food non GMO thing from Stef. Seem both our ladies are into health."  Boob replies.  "I know Stef is. She makes me drink grass feed milk for my  coffee, Oh the radiation thing?  I get it now. Still say it was unjapanese.  I mean we could screw it up but not the Japs.. They, like the krauts, simply DONT make that kind of mistake ."
"Well, it sure looks like they did this time. I mean Gody is happy as heck.  He plain loves the radiation. but most other beings dont..Gretta sure does not."

Wata ya think pal?

Gretta's clothes dryer went  out; so of course her friend Stef let her use her's while they both looked for a "nice" one. So then  of course Stef's went out and they are both looking for the best deal on "Nice' ones.
Bob looked at Grrr as they had both machines apart in the garage. "Well "said Grrr.  "judging by what we saw on the NET and by what the tests tell us I think we have two major problems.
"Agreed" replied Bob. "The heating unit and the Timer in Stef's  have gone west and the Timer and blower in Gretta's have given up the ghost"
"Yep.  We could take the parts from one to fix the other...but'  Grrr said.
"But then we would still need one new machine and the other would work on 8 year old parts and who knows how long?" Mused Bob
"That is not the major problem. old ape..Think"
"Sure it is ole reptile ...I " said Bob.
"Ok. ole ape..who gets the " nice" new one and who gets the "old" rebuilt one? "
"Uh...I see your point pal. It would cost almost as much for parts, if we found them for old dryers as new ones. So there is only one thing to do. Grrr
"Yep. No way around it" The guys sadly looked at each other ..."We gotta go shopping..." : (
"Why do we have to go? Asked Grrr. "You know the girls are going to ask us what we think  and than buy the one   they want anyway."
"Of course,but if we dont go they will say we dont care. Only one thing to do.  Go look give our honest opinions.There is a bright side. we can go look at the new TVs and Computers " replied Bob.
"old ape, you monkey people are not as dumb as ya look!"  replied a happy Grrr

"i told ya "'

"I told ya old ape. You are a human, not a bad sort for a human but a human.
to be a T Rex ya gotta be hatched as a T Rex. I mean I can see how you would want to be a Rex I mean who would not?"  Said Grrr Rex.  "But it just is not gonna be.   I mean you are a pal and it cannot be said humans are dumb or useless, you guys did invent root beer! But a human is a human and a Rex is a rex.simple.

Part ll Grrr takes the stage.

Bob put down the Mauser he was cleaning and listened."It cannot be ..Grrr is a T Rex and T rex simply dont cry, I  must be hearing things. Perhaps Stef and Gretta are watching chick flicks again."
Still, he had to go over to Grrr's cave and look. Walking into Grrr's garage, Bob was shocked to see the mighty T Rex standing in front of Gretta's full length mirror sobbing.
"As a kid, I was left alone..sob  and I was picked on for being green...and.." cried Grrr.
"Pal are you ok?" asked Bob
"Quite alright Old ape. I am getting ready for my TV show tonight". replied Grrr in a normal voice.
"But the tears and the crying??" asked Bob.
"Ole Ape, for a human, you are not too dumb. But ya gotta keep current. If there is one thing I learned in the "Business" back in Hollywood. it is  ya gotta be relevant."
"But what has that got to do with the crying?" asked a confused Bob.
"All dinos hatch and most are green and ..." said Bob
"Pal" Said an annoyed Grrr  "Ah well,  I sometimes forget that you were a teacher not a actor. Everyone has to have a sob story  to be on TV now..it is required.,,if  ya want  to  be "relevant".
An actor gotta do what a actor gotta do!

Gata have a sad story

Grrr was standing in front of Gretta's full length sobbing! Tears were running down the face of the mighty  T Rex!  "I..I was left to grow up alone..sob sob..bring green I had to fight ot be bullied at school and the gender thing I I I ..."
