I had a flash of inspiration in the grocery store and ended up making Deb Grabien's tuna and canellini bean salad. (Recipe, such as it is, in my lj [link]

And also I bought a bunch of squash and pumpkin and stuff to make for myself on the weekend.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

We are wearing the too big clothes anyway.

Yep. Just easier that way. (Plus now that he's more mobile, his pants keep riding up, so putting him ones that are absurdly long end up the right length once he's on the floor pretending he can crawl.)

BTW, Jessica, a box should arrive from UPS in the next day or two.

Woo hoo!

Archaeologists do not dig up dinosaurs, people! Thanks.

Wouldn't a paleontologist have pretty much the same outfit when they were in the field?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, except they wear their pith helmets backwards.

The paleontologists I know wear jeans and ratty Grateful Dead tshirts. OK, one of them does. The footprint one. I don't really know what my cousin wears, most pictures have him in a flannel shirt.

Doesn't so much make for a good costume, though.

Well yeah, but with less style.

I was asssuming they identified themselves as archaeologists.

If they were palaeontologists it was a very cool costume idea. If they were archaeologists it makes me cry.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

As much as 400 year old poop makes you cry?

Lets say some archaeologists dig up some old ruins and come across across an ancient palaeontology museum, complete with dinosaur bones.

Then what happens?

Those are tears of joy, Trudy. Tears of sweet, smelly joy.

We call in the Creationists.
