I've generally avoided putting up these commercials so far, but I think I've run through just about every other paleo-advert I've been able to find lately. I remember most of these spots from Saturday mornings (and I've thrown in two dinosaur-themed cartoon intros), and I expect some of you might have some flashbacks, as well;
I apologize; I will never post so much obnoxious material all in one place ever again.

Two days ago I mentioned some good news I had to share with all of you, and I have been impatiently keeping it under my hat. Now I can finally let the cat out of the bag. I am proud to say that Smithsonian magazine has just launched a new dinosaur blog called Dinosaur Tracking, and I am one of the…
Yes, the book. My Job in 10 Years: The Future of Academic Libraries.

WTF... what are the kids doing to that dinosaur?
Denver! The last dinosaur! He's my friend and a whole lot more!!!
As soon as I saw the text, I immediately thought of dinosaucers, I just couldn't remember the name. Those were the days. Dinosaucers, Silver Hawks, MASK, Centurions, COPS. Gosh we were priveledged.
Zach- I agree Denver was a good friend... though now that I'm growup (arguably anyway) I'm not sure I'd like the lyric he's a whole lot more...

I'd never even heard of Dinosaucers for example...
The 80's and early 90's, truly the Fecal Age of Television.
