Yesterday's post had an extra tell in the line, "I can’t take the chance they’ll tell turn me down."

Also, poor Peter! The entire skull was only as big as child's ribcage? To swallow Peter, it should've had a throat as wide as a child's ribcage.

^ Crib, not rib.

So I guess Glen or wossname is the witness?

Now they need to prove that this thing was recently alive, and that Grandfather hasn't bribed another museum for some dinosaur bones and a butcher for some meat.

Tablizin = A Turkish custom whereby two men compete to smile at each other as long as they can. The first to falter offers his hospitality to the winner.

Yuk and that is a mess. Are they going to bring in the poor kid it almost got?

First it had to be found and then checked to make sure it wasn't a known animal.

Yuck indeed. diving under ice is exciting enough without having to look for deceased dinos. I guess the yongala has to wait for me a little longer.

Eww in that cold water of the lake it probably wasn't so nasty but now that it's exposed to AIR???
I feel sorry for everyone in that courtroom! (okay, except for Jenkins)

Um the Muse -
Thanks for the heads up!

In writing, as in poker, I have too many tells.

As for the rib, see Rubberduck.

Rubberduck -
Actually, it will be an Asian man with a Midwestern accent.

daymon34 -
Yes, that was an important part...

scubadude -
You've dived under ice?! Cool.

I just got my own joke. I was going to say 'nice,' but the alliteration seemed corny. So I did something worse.

Mary -
And the prosecutor! Don't feel bad for the prosecutor!
