A Poignant Erection

We've all had to deal with erections.  Ry Williams handles them for a living, specifically dinosaur erections.  Williams is a self-described "dinosaur erection specialist" at Dino Lab in British Columbia, where he couples his training as a welder with his love of dinosaurs to erect their skeletal remains in lifelike positions.



And some not-so-lifelike positions.


Yes, that's a dinosaur tea party.  Williams is rightfully proud of this particular erection--it took him three years to get it up.  It was a challenging mount!  And a meaningful one too.  "A real T. rex and a real Triceratops sitting down and having tea together," he said.  "The most iconic enemies in the history of the planet having a conversation. I think the world needs that kind of message right now."

We could all learn a thing or two from Williams's poignant erection.

Great stuff, Z. When my niece was a toddler, she invited her dad to a tea party in her room where she had filled the teacups with poop.

We were all reluctant to attend any of her "tea parties" after that incident. She's 25, so it could be safe now. Still not sure I'd risk it.

Sounds like a less than ideal take on Mrs. Brown's Tea Room.

I’m on a northbound train, tracking across Virginia farmland en route to the nation’s capital.

Tonight I’ll be on a plane over the pond, departing the chaos of the colonies for the Lester motherland, descending upon the Isles like an Angle, Saxon, or Jute.

The car ride with Gus ‘twixt these two legs means that I’m Del Griffith today.

Happy trails, Whit.

Ah, Mrs. Brown's lovely mushroom tea. Perfect for imbibing on a day when you're going to hang out in a hut with some Jamaican dudes with machetes.

And the young niece had two (or more?) teacups because she was a nice kid who wanted to share.

What, Rob, one scrimmage and you're bolting overseas? Seriously, encouraging result in your debut as Big Whistle. And dogshit on the doorstep of the Battlefield coach for not subbing liberally during a damn scrimmage. Swell message for the reserves.

Drew, great find and cool post.
