Of God and Gambo: Cryptozoology, Christian Fiction, and Creationism

Hey folks, the mistress of missing updates is back at the blog writing helm. So far, the Spring of Dinosaur RPGs is kind of turning out to be a bust, so I may just have it extend into summer, and even then it may be sporadic. And as if that wasn’t enough, my laptop’s DVD/CD drive, meaning no reviews of Dinotopia: the Series until who-knows-when it’s fixed, because I’m sure as hell not spending any cash on some iTunes of it when I already wasted cash back when the DVD came out and I was too curious to see it for my own good. And then I started becoming more and more busy at work and home, had a virus outbreak on my computer, etc., etc. As such, I was more or less tempted to ramble on about a topic that was on my mind: this one.

Conveniently enough for Frank, the local yocal he’s staying with happens to have been the last offworlder to have gotten shipwrecked on Dinotopia before Frank and his sons, and made extensive charts and studies of the ocean in attempt to escape back to

Lest we forget what I’m also reviewing alongside other things, we’re back with issue numero dos of Jurassic Park: Redemption. When we last left off, a bladder-addled Hispanic farmer (since he has a red shirt and blue overalls, I shall call him Mario, and proceed to make fan speculations that he has prior experience in fighting large reptiles, as well as plumbing) was being loomed over by a Carnotaurus, South America’s “meat-eating bull” dinosaur and one hell of a pug-faced oddity. Well, an oddity to us; I’m sure that, to other abelisaurids, Carnotaurus was quite the handsome gent. But I digress…
