I love British comedy.  My wife wasn't as thrilled as I was when I bought the entire Monty Python box set back when we were dating...but she's learned to accept it in doses.  :rofl:

Closing up the sandbox for the evening and I found a dimetrodon (one of my childhood favorites) and an elasmotherium hanging out in it. :D

Thank you @Bobby Rico for the wonderful gift in the mail today.  Some great Mold-A-Ramas from the Field Museum and the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago.  Little did he know that one of my hobbies is restoring antique tractors (although I specialize in the red ones :) ).  I used to have the space shuttle as a kid, but it broke ages ago.  Absolutely love the T. rex.  I don't think I ever had one of those. To think these probably came from the same machines I used as a kid is awesome... thanks again, Bobby.  I'll put some plastic nostalgia in the mail for you soon.

Really happy you liked them . I spent 2 great days in visiting both them Museum. The tractor was a beautiful machine. I spent about $100 dollars on Mold A Ramas to give out to friends they do make great presents. A bookcase shelve full of them Museum treasures. Happy days:1-SlapHands_zpsbb015b76:

Hey @Troodon Frank love that oil advertisement really stunning. Are you placing it in your fossil house ?

I too have been looking at my collection of National Geographic and sorting out the dinosaur content to post here. Thank you for adding to my post and I am glad it inspired you to get that really cool  sign. Cheers Bobby

Please and thank you, if you get the chance can we have a picture in situ. I always think the none fossil object I add to my fossil collection really make my display stand out. Thank you @Troodon for adding this lovely bit of memorabilia to my thread.

Here you go above my prep lab dood and under my Pteranodon wing.   Good view from around the room.

Invasive exotic memoribilia! :)

 

There is another parcel of invaders on it's way to the UK as we speak.  Hope you like it.
