Today is Earth Day, a day dedicated to environmentalism, conservation, and extreme composting. It’s also a day when the level five vegans remind us they only eat food that doesn’t cast a shadow. Incidentally, if you are ever looking for some fun, try telling people organizing a business luncheon that you’re a level five vegan who only eats food that doesn’t cast a shadow. They’ll give you grief once they figure it out and pick on you later, but it’s totally worth it.
It’s also a day to think of all we could accomplish if we stopped treating “Jurassic Park” as fiction and instead started treating it like a game plan. Until we get serious about reinstalling huge apex predators on our lands and in our seas, it’s all just pillow talk, baby.

It’s about the future. Won’t someone think of the children?
No, baby. A lion will never “eat you up in one bite.” He’d take bites with his razor sharp teeth like you were a sammich.

They evolved from dinosaurs, although in their case it’s more that they devolved.

Leave the dinosaur clones alone, though.

Why didn’t Jurassic Park include weapons in its assortment?

This is why recycling is a scam. We can’t fight dinosaurs or ships if we don’t save our bottles.

Even the dinosaurs?

This would also be an option.

This is hard to argue with, although that car isn’t what we’d call “green.” That he probably has or can score some green isn’t the same.
You’ll never be as cool as this guy in a cutoff jean jacket behind the wheel of a 1976 Pontiac Firebird.

Not as cool as Firebird guy.
The suit with sneakers look, which screams business up top and party below, is the mullet of officewear.

And when Firebird guy gets old, this happens.

It’s 7:00 a.m. and I just bought a hobo his first bottle of cheap booze for the day. Is there a girl scout badge for that?

Shouldn’t there be booze?
After years of marriage & kids I have no idea how I’d handle a 1st date. Just give him a juice box, crackers & an iPad? Do I bring coupons?
