Oct 26 2009That's It, I'm Moving To Dinosaur, Colorado

dinosaur-co.jpg

Unbeknownst to me there's an actual town in Colorado named Dinosaur, making it one of the coolest places in the continental United States -- right up there with Anti-robot, West Virginia! Plus, all the road names are dinosaur themed. Now I can't decide if I want to live on Triceratops Terrace or Brontosaurus Boulevard! What's a boy to do? Make love to city hall? Get out of my brain!

Think I'd just pick a place on 5 1/2 St...I'd never be able to spell any of the others. Yaba daba DOO!!!

Funny you should mention that now because in the latest issue of Dark Avengers (#10) they actually go to Dinosaur, CO.

@Closet Nerd
Nice gif... I can't stop watching it....

@4
That would suck, to live in a themed town like that and have an ordinary address of 3rd street or something...

Can't beat the Dinosaur City Hall. Hehe

This town was mentioned in this weeks Dark Avengers comic. Gaining popularity I see.

aw, my first posted tip. I feel like a real Geekologie reader.

I don't know how I feel about being from Arkansas, but since it's Zombie, Arkansas, I'll take it!!! ...and a shotgun, please.

@6 I saw it and the first thing I thought of was "it is like firstards running to Geekologie to be first" to perfect.

@9 Congratulations, and many returns.

@11 spanks!

I'm sooo moving there

anyone want an invite to lockerz? Drop me an email @ smc.scooper@googlemail.com

It is one of the weirdest places I have ever visited. There was an awesome wall of dinosaur bones to go see though. It was about the size of a football field.

@ Closet Nerd... that gif is awesome, I agree it's spot on for Firstards

I've been there. Weird indeed. More deer than people. And a diner that served a Brontoburger (one or two pounds, can't remember...and an equal helping of fries).

Pretty sure that wall of fossils was actually on the Utah side of the border (Dinosaur National Park covers is in both states).

That would suck.. not being able to spell what street you're on lol. Or you might grow up to be a great speller because of it. Who is excited about that accomplishment though?

I slept in today, hi everyone.

@Closet Nerd - well done my firstard killing friend, well done

@6, 15 & 18 Thank you

Ouch, Give a news feed to GW and he doesn't even give the respect back.

I say the same thing three times in a row, and no one listens...

I'm sorry...what was that again?

I feel back asleep

I fell back asleep, not feel. THAT would be strange

That place is a crappy town. lol. its like one of those tourist traps that has gone downhill, and now the only really cool part left of it is the dinosaur museum because of the fossils. I was severely disappointed when I went there. I thought it would be a magical place.

Triceratops Terrace. Or Tyrannosaurus Street.

You know whoever sent this has an average life.

I had to stay in a Bates type motel in Dinosaur.
It is sadly a shithole.

Holy crap, I've been there! My aunt had her wedding rehearsal there. We ate at a place that had "dino burgers". They sucked.

i live five minutes from this place, everyone goes there to be lotto tickets, colorado beer and velociraptor egggs.

I may just be thinking of a stones dream but I vaguely remember a cartoon when I was young about Denver the last dinosaur is that not on colarado?

The towns kinda of a tourist trap. It' a real western slum. So don't too excited.

I figured you would already know about this town. I discovered it about a month ago driving cross country with my friend. I totally would have reported it if I had cared enough to search and find if you had posted about it before (read: too much work)

Anyways... uh... something.

I think I would love to live in a dinosaur themed tourist trap for at least a year or two. Especially if it is kind of run down.

@ 5 & 8

I remember that one! Good call! I just assumed it (the town) was made up.

Hey idk whos copying who but i looked up Anti-Robot WV and when i did the exact same article quote comes up on several different sites.. So either your copying them or vice-versa...

I only live maybe an hour away from Dinosaur, Co and I've never heard of it. I might have to check it out.

Holy Cretaceous Period!
