 So Grrr what is the Gig if it is not TV or movies? asked Bob

"Those are just too much work pal and this pays a lot better..I am a fact checker" replied Grrr

"So you checking History of the Arts?" 

"Sure I will do them but why limit? I also do political and health stuff" replied Grrr

"But pal. you dont know anything about that...so you check N D F ?" asked Bob

"Naw. Too much like work. I just look at the list a post disproved by Fact checkers" . 

"but But that is ....."  replied Bob

"Hey pal, Before I met you I was an actor! This is just another gig."

"But its  ...how dumb do you think humans are?"  replied an outraged Bob.

"Hey pal, You seen who humans elect? asked the mighty T Rex.

A gig on the net???

 

Bob went over to Grrr's cave, to find Grrr sitting on a new recliner watching a 120 in HD TV with surround sound and ALL the stations; He had a root beer kegerator  and handcrafted rootbeer mug.

"Hey ya bum" Bob asked "You hit the lotto or what?"

Handing Bob a mug of excellent coffee and a box of donuts Pointing to a huge stack of ammo, a smart car, a couple of rifles.. a coffee maker and a crate of coffee and handing Bob a gift card for the history book store,

Grrr said " Hiya pal, I got you some stuff too. And I set up charge accounts for Stef and Gretta at their favorite malls"

"What gives, did you hit the Lotto or go back to acting?" 

"Nothing like that. I got a new part time gig on the NET. The loot is rolling in. In fact, I could use a colleague 50/50 old ape?" 

" Before I agree, what is it? I remember the time you talked me into the exchange dino program.. that dino from China, only he was a dragon and burned the house down." said Bob 

"Naw. Nothing like that. In fact this is a human gig, They dont even know I am a Rex. it is all done by the Net.

Rug and the NET

     "You  know what that mall is like and ..they don't even have a bookstore to hide in." Grrr said  As the two pals hid in their den in the swamp.

"Pal you know the girls when they are on the hunt." replied Bob. "I have seen Gretta shop, she is a pro and Stef, she may be a human, but she has raptor blood when it comes to the MALL. They got their own pack and no mistake."
"Yeah, and unless we think of something, we are for it. You know we cannot let them lug rugs around and you know that they will."
"True, I have seen them pack stuff into the car that weighted more than they do!" replied Bob "I..I got it Toss me the laptop..." said Bob.
"Pal, this is no time to check your e-mail we gotta..'

"man, am I glad we kicked in for the internet bundle ..I..." said  Bob
"What are ya doing? we gotta.." repeated Grrr.
"Look pal. if the girls are going shopping for new rugs, they are going shopping for new rugs. you want to tell Gretta that she cannot buy a couple of rugs?" 
"Well..ur..No I mean we can afford it and but the MALL!!!!" growled Grrr.
"Same here old reptile. So we gotta be smart. Look the rug store has an internet SALE and they can go to the store and you know how they like to look and feel stuff before they buy it and the store will also install and deliver FREE! You know how our ladies are about bargains!" 
smiling a big T-Rex grin..."Old Ape you are a genius!"
"Yep, when it comes down to it ya gotta love the net!" replied Bob

Rugs?????

 Grrr and Bob were out walking to the snack bar when Grrr said. " you know old ape that bath was not a bad idea, gotta say you monkey people do get things right sometimes." "What do ya mean sometime you overgrown cousin to kermit the frog? who invented root beer?" Replied Bob.

"Yeah well." said Grrr. "You know I heard the girls talking about the rugs something about them getting old." " Stef was saying the same thing.  We only had them for about 10 years! " Replied Bob. "yeah, us too!" said Grrr.
"You thinking what I am thinking pal?" "Mall? asked Bob  
Yes!" replied Grrr.
The two guys ran for their den in the swamp!

Looking at Bob  Grrr said"Pal we gotta do something or you know what awaits us !"
"Yeah, the rug store and the MALL!!!" gasped Bob.
"We gotta go we cannot let the girls carry rugs and ya know we do!" said  Bob
We gotta think we cannot hide out here forever!"  whispered Grrr.

Bed bath and a roar!

 

"She ..it is not what she brought ..well it is, but it is just un-dino...I mean it is ok for you humans if you like that sort of thing but we dino? For millions of years..I mean ? "Well" asked Bob did ya tell her to send it back?" 
"Pal, you remember how Stef took care of you when you were in the hospital? Well Gretta did the same for me when I hurt my tail. She ..She..just looked so happy when they started installing..I.. Go ahead and laugh!"replied Grrr
"Not me pal. We are both lucky in our mates and if they do strange stuff from time to time..well .." said Bob. "yep" said Grrr "yep" said Bob.

 As the two guys headed home. 

I need a shower"  Bob said.

"I always said ya stink" replied Grrr with an big t rex grin.

 "So what did Gretta buy?" Bob asked Stef when he got home. 

"She brought the nicest bathroom, shower and hot tub and all marble! It is human size but with their size changing ring and necklaces that the F/X people gave them when they were in the movies, that is no problem. I have ordered a nice set for us the plumber is installing it now"

Grrr came in from his run hot and tired. Gretta said "Grrry you look tired. Poor dear I will run a nice hot bath for you in our new tub." "Tub! I don't need a tub that is a human thing! 

Ok for Bob and Stef but we are dinos and." 
"Please Grrry just for me?" asked Gretta.

 One look at her big green eyes and Grrr's mighty heart melted. 

"Ok Babe but just this once." Replied Grrr as he stepped into the Hot tub; slowly the angry look on Grrr's face turned into a smile. "Hey! You know babe, this is not bad. It is like having our very own hot lake. You know like the ones by the volcano! You done good babe!" 
"Thank you dear" replied Gretta as she handed him a rootbeer. "Now Grrry about the new rugs...." smile emoticon

Bed Bath and a Roar!

 

Bed Bath and a Roar! 

"improve this ..fix that." puffed Grrr as they ran" You apes always gotta monkey around with stuff!' "Yeah? Who invented rootbeer and big screen TV to watch dino movies on and movies? And for that matter?  I am not the guy with a big gas barbecue outside my door!" Puffed Bob. "Ok-ok so you did a few things right! But did ya have the brains to stop while ya were ahead? 

NO! You humans just don't know when to quit!" puffed Grrr in reply
It is all your fault!" roared an angry Grrr at Bob. 
"What did I do now? You rotten reptile' asked Bob as the two pals ran around the block together.
"You or ok, to be fair , your species, had to go and invent things!  NO! You humans just don't know when to quit!" puffed Grrr in reply
As the guys ran around the block, Bob replied; "Alright ya bum. What is on what we laughing call ya mind?"
"Gretta and Stef went to the mall!" replied an angry Grrr.
"This is news? They are always going to the Mall together! 

Oh! I get it. What did Gretta buy or make you DO that you do not like?'
"Make me??MAKE ME? you human guys may be wimps  ruled  by your mates but not us REX!    I RULE my cave with a iron claw! Why the very idea". 

After about 2 miles, Grrr said " Time out old ape?" Puff Puff " Yep I think we are getting old pal!" replied Bob as he dropped into the bench by Grrr and the guys shared a Gator-aid.....
"So what did she buy pal?' asked Bob.
"She ..it is not what she brought ..well it is but it is just un-dino...I mean it is ok for you humans if you like that sort of thing but we dino? For millions of years..I mean ????????

To be continued.

The Pizza and the Raptor.

 

Dr. H. the  Hadrosaur, who married Flower, the hippy raptor, stopped Grrr in the hallway of the "Wellness Center" where they both worked as councilors.
"Ahem..Grrr..have you a minute?..There is a ..ummm.. personal matter..that I would value your advice on."
"Sure Doc, step into my lair" Grrr replied.
"Well..ahh..Grrr", said Dr. H. "I must say, not in any way being judgmental, that our professional consulting rooms should perhaps not be refereed to as "lairs".  Indeed the use of such unprofessional nomenclature must at least, on a subconscious level, tend to lessen the effectiveness of our processes ."
"Humm" said Grrr, popping a rootbeer and passing over a bowl of leaves to Dr.H.
"Doc," said Grrr. "I have known you for a while and you never seemed to care about this before. What is really on your mind'?
Absently chewing on some leaves, Dr. H replied "Flower and I had our first fight..not a fight...no..a disagreement..not that..uhh..an inability to reach consensus".
"Ok, Grrr said "you had a fight..what did you do?"

"I..I..do?..I gave a honest reply..Flower and I value the ability to share truth and acting in the spirit of that value, I simply replied to an inquiry she posed."
"Doc, what was the question and what did you say?"
"Flower..she..made us an organic pizza, it was her first attempt..and when she asked what it ..that is to say..how..or how it might compare to that found at the restaurant, I said that ..The crust was too hard and the pie under baked and the tomato  paste..ah..somewhat lacking." 
"She ..ah..did not take this in the spirit of which it was offered..dear me.. no. She roared at me, she never did that before, and ran to bedroom". "She would not come out and I slept on the couch, in the morning, when I woke, she left a note  saying that she had gone to see Gretta. The room, Grrr, was torn to bits."  
"Grrr, I am not sure..what to do. I was thinking about getting her a cookbook.
  What do you think?"

 Doc, are you out of your ever loving blue eyed mind?" Asked GRRR.
" My..ur..eyes are not blue more a tan and I fail...to uh see. It is clear that my dear Flower..is...ummm..somewhat lacking in the art of baking and therefore a cookbook..would seem the very thing needed to..um..rectify the ..problem".
"Doc, you are not dealing with a student or a client, this is your wife.
 Look Doc, have a root beer..we need to talk."
"Root beer? Dear me no thank you. The sugar is not all good and we never drink any thing in cans ..oh. heavens no..bottles only."
"Just drink it Doc and learn. Flower is a girl and women do not see the world the way we do nor do they react as we do."
"Now, Grrr, I have always held the view that the so called "gender difference" is but the social result of education. The mind, of all dinos regardless of gender, is rational..and..."
"Doc, you have been married for a few months and before that spent your time in the library.  Gretta and I have been married a long time and while I do not hold the view that the mind of one gender is better than the other, I KNOW..not think or suppose, KNOW that they are different.
"Flower's pie was a part of her, a gift, that she was giving to you, when you scientifically critiqued it, you hurt her feelings."
"It...that is to say..it was never my intent to ..Flower is the center of my life..Why..I would even..even eat meat..rather than disappoint her!"
"I know that Doc, but the one you have to tell that to is Flower".

  
Gretta, and Stef were in Gretta's house as Flower walked in in tears.
"Flower, what is wrong?" a concerned Stef asked.
"What is the matter sister?" asked Gretta.
"Haddy..he..he" Gretta and Stef looked at each other and at Flower's raptor claw, relived to see it unstained.
"Sit down sister and tell us". said Gretta as Stef poured Flower a cup of tea.
"I ..I made him a Pizza..it was all organic, Stef, you know how hard that is" Stef nodded. I ..asked him how he liked it and he hated it and now he hates me and I got mad and tore up the bedroom and ..I am a bad wife."
Stef and Gretta looked at each other. "Sister, asked Gretta, did you go Jurassic on Dr. H? "  "Oh, no..never..I love him...now he does not love me" she cried.
Stef said "Flower, listen child. you are just married. Gretta and I have been with Bob and Grrr for years.
Of course Dr. H still loves you..you two just had your first spat. 
"But we are not ...we..never,,we can't".
"Sister, Gretta said, every couple has a spat now and then. 
Guys just don't see things the way we do. "We would rather go to the mall, or the Opera or plant, Grrr and Bob would prefer to get lost in an old book or go shooting or build things in their  smelly shop...right Stef ?" 
"True, try to get Bob to give up coffee and drink organic tea and he is always looking at new Mausers. Why I have no Idea and, we have been together for years Flower."
 But ..But ..he did not like my pie",Flower said.
"Sister, I love you and have since the nest, but you never could cook". Gretta said.
"You just cannot put what feels right in a recipe, you have to follow steps."
"Gretta", said Stef, "lets show her." The girls went into the kitchen and showed Flower the steps in baking a pie.

Later..
"My boy, said a happy Doctor H, over the phone.. I spoke to Flower as you suggested. All is well. My dear one spoke to Stef and Gretta and they are teaching her to cook!  I picked up some flowers and organic candy and she, dear girl, acquired for me some very fine organic greens  all is well in the world".

"Glad things are back to normal Doc" replied Grrr as he winked at Gretta and popped a cold can of root beer.
