Radio news announcer: At the University of Bath, paleontologists have discovered a fossil of a snake with four tiny little legs.
Dr Glass: *outraged* WHO DID THE THING
Radio news announcer: Now, I now what you’re thinking…
Dr Glass: NICK. THIS WAS NICK. NICK DID THE THING
Radio news announcer: “isn’t a snake with legs just a lizard?”
Dr Glass: FUCKNGI NICK
Radio news announcer: scientists assure you it is not. Researcher Nick –
Dr Glass: *doing a weird accent* “ner, it isn’t a lizaaaaaaaaarrrd.”
Nick (on the radio): *a pleasant-sounding, yet defensive and slightly on-edge American* it isn’t a lizard. it has a hinged jaw. it has belly scales. it isN’T a liZARD –
Dr Glass (to the radio): WHATEVER NICK WE DON’T CARE HOW MANY GRIZZLY BEARS YOU’VE PUNCHED
Me: what
Dr Glass: possibly Kodiak bears
Although the conversation above raised more questions than it answered, I decided to flex my incredible palaeo-art skills for this:
did you know: i am demonstrably not an artist but I have actually contributed drawn figures to a published paleontological paper
they’ll let any fucker in these days
update:
Dr Glass: did you show the picture to Nick
Me: I don’t know Nick.
Dr Glass: you met him at Famous Bloody J’s
Me: I’ve never met snake-legs-man. You paleontologists with your little global hivemind, expecting everyone on the planet to know each other like the Illuminati.
Dr Glass: you drank Famous Bloody J’s homebrew together
Me: okay… that sounds fake but okay
Dr Glass: you’ve met him! You’ve met Nick! YOU TALKED ABOUT BEARS
Me: OH
Me: OH WAIT
Me: OH, PLAID GUY
Me: GOOD OLD LUMBERJACK PLAID GUY, WE HAD SUCH GOOD TIMES
