Dec 8 2009It Wasn't Me, Stop Asking: 'Walking With Dinosaurs' Robotic Dino Stolen In Mexico

yes-please.jpg

FOR THE LAST TIME, IT WASN'T ME. I've already been contacted by the authorities and while I may have had some interest in one of the human-operated dinos, I wouldn't be caught dead stealing a ROBOTIC model. I just couldn't do it. Literally, no boner.

Staff noticed the 1.5m tall robot was missing after the show closed on its opening day in Guadalajara on Friday.


"Only in Mexico! How it happened we don't know," said the show's spokesman, Karla Arroyo. It is the first time an exhibit has been stolen from the show, she added.

The theft did not stop the show going ahead. Everything went on as usual," said Ms Arroyo.

She said the stolen robot was the least expensive from the show - some measure up to 13m and cost up to 1m Australian dollars.

"Only in Mexico!"? What's the hell's that supposed to mean? And, on a completely unrelated note: where would be the best place to hide a giant robotic dinosaur? Please say in bed, please say in bed....

jus sayin

That's a pretty damn impressive steal. Nice work Mexican Dino-Bandit!

Wow, something was stolen in Mexico?

have we all learned yet you can't trust mexicans

So people actually read BBC news. I starting to get a feeling they have the most interesting news in the media business. Hmmm. Dinosaurs and robots, who would've known?
On a side note, I think I wanna see some dino show in Tijuana. If you know what I mean.

Could have been first but opted out so some POS dingle berry named Brrrrrian could do it...

............and not in bed! IN LITTLE SISTER CLOSET!(if you have one) if not then in the basement where all the action does go on.....
be on the lookout for an unusually tall Lamp with sharp teeth

GW on another note it could be a diehard GEEKOLOGIE loyalist who is erecting a life-size reenactment of this badassery that i'm sure we all remember....

I bet whoever took has it is going to use it to smuggle illegals into the US, because who's going to answer the call to a dinosaur is crossing the boarder?

"Damn shitty ass old laptop!"
fixed link*

My guess is that he needed it to scare off the border guards. No one asks you for your papers when you've got an extinct reptile following you.

@7 Ghost Busters?

@7, great minds think alike.

....ma uncle bought a robo dino on his last trip to Mexico.

@7 Nobody dare crosses a boarder... everyone knows the boarder will rip down a 2x4 and smash your skull in until they can scoop your brains out with a god damn ladle.... just sayin

@13 could there be a story behind that tirade

@10 I'm sorry sir, we only deal with the deceased & firstards, try calling GW
@11 'como esta gringo, we have giant dinolizar theeng for you - - eet's full ov burritoooozz!!

I've heard of donkey shows, but DINO shows???!!!! Ooooh, now THAT'S GOTTA hurt!

@14 I'm thinking so... Do tell what happened Closet Nerd

@6 Your suggestion reminds me of this article (The 'evil zombie doll' we adore ) I read on CNN (which I believe REALLY stands for Closet Nerd News)
http://www.cnn.com/2009/LIVING/personal/12/02/o.doll.many.happy.returns/index.html

@14 & 17 Really I was just going off on a tangent because 'border' was spelled 'boarder'..... and my last name happens to be Borders.... just want people to realize you should never cross a Boarder (or a Borders) because we're fucking crazy......... just sayin

I want some taquitos.

mmMMmm taquitos would be good right now

@18 Paahaha WTF did i jsut read?!
but seriously i always thought CNN stood for the colored news network....i mean the guy did have a wife named Mercedes... but then again...
http://antzinpantz.com/kns/images/jul09/thats_racist_animated1.gif

@19 damn thing went right over my head, plus one for you

http://www.nationalufocenter.com/artman/uploads/18tr3april08.jpg

ahh gotcha CN
TAQUITOS IT IS! off to the nearest Tiger-mart/7eleven

It means that spics will steal anything not nailed to the floor.

Next question.

So exactly how much is 1 million Australian dollars in US currency?

BTW: GW totally did it.

Oh, it totally was GW. I have proof. And by "proof," I mean tequila. Anybody got limes?

@23 Have you seen the UFO photo(s) on my Closet Nerd page? I know I have at least one.... just sayin

@27 Limes?! We don't need no stinkin limes!

@29 depends on the tequila.
naas care to share your stash? (of tequila that is)

@Closet Nerd just took a gander at your page....very nice...but for curiosity sake how often do you stumble(upon)

@31 I haven't been updating the page as much as I'd like too. Been so busy at home. Whatcha mean "how often do i stumble"?

@28 not yet, last time I was there I got lost somewhere in the back-boobs post

Just woundering if you avidly use the program http://www.stumbleupon.com/
I used to love it but they are revamping it and its moving from the "everything I find is mine" idea to the "i found ____ by using Stumbleupon"
it's greed. although if i had made the program i'd want to put my stamp on everything too

it's worth checking out if you havn't already. i'm out till 5.... SHIT! i mean 5:20 now

@34 At first, I thought you were asking how often I get drunk .
Never seen that site before, but I love it!!!!
I have several sites I go to and find intersting stuff.
I used to email a lot of it to my wife, or post it to my FB profile, and it started to become a lot, so I started the Closet Nerd page.

@31 agreed, nice work Closet Nerd on all that material

"Only in Mexico!" is a phrase we Mexicans use to say "Man, this really sucks. Why is everyone here so corrupt? Why can't we have a dinosaur expo/music festival/museum without people stealing dinosaur robots/musical instruments/stuff from the gift store? This sucks. I feel ashamed before the international community, and I'm now afraid they'll stop bringing nice things to my country because they'll be afraid it'll get stolen, and rightfully so."

(BTW the music festival & museum story happened just yesterday too. Coincidence? I don't think so!)

Only in mMexico hahahahahaha!!

bc mexican steal.... get it...get it....

whatever

Only in mMexico hahahahahaha!!

bc mexicans steal.... get it...get it....

whatever

@3 & 4 FU your mother is a mexican, besides, you people have a county filled with Negroes

for the rest of you, yup, only in mexico there are no laws at all, so people can get away with things, and the remark "only in mexico" is used because is fu**ing impossible to just leave the show when a huge bag.

I know this happend only 10 minutes away from my house, but I assure you all it is completely unrelated to the Dino I now have in my backyard, if you look closely you will see mine is all spraypainted black and has a ninja mask .

P.S. don't touch, that paint is still wet

Did anyone think that maybe, just maybe this robotic dinosaur became self-aware??? Great so now we have a Self-aware robotic Dinosaur on the lose, lets just hope it has not deemed humanity as an entity it must destroy.


wayy..: It Wasn't Me, Stop Asking: 'Walking With Dinosaurs' Robotic Dino Stolen In Mexico

good..

it was me I admit it I'm only human

Only In Mexico... Es decir, "solo en mexico", no puedo imaginar que hijo de puta quisiera tener un dinosaurio de plstico en su casa, un dinosaurio que ademas no sirve sin una consola especial que por supuesto no robaron...

Anyway, come to México!!! whores and alcohol are way cheaper here!!!

... For real:
Did you stole it????

VIVA MEXICO CABRONES!!!!
VIVA LA RAZA...

And yes, only in Mexico


I told you people this would happen when you started combining robots and dinosaurs, didn't I ? Well didn't I ? I said, "No good will come of this". Now see what happens when you disregard a pantless drunk and stoned mentally unstable individual running amok throughout the streets. Who's crazy now, huh ? Well I guess it's still me but my point remains,.....wait what was my point again? Hey look a dinosaur !

taco flavored kisses? from a dinosaur?

oh where oh where did my robotic diny go, oh where oh where can he be? by now he's in pieces in a chop shop lol or a taqueria. haha they make tacos outta dogs why not dinos

*i'm of mexican heritage so i can make fun of my heritage damnit lol

No, I'm not buying it GW. Sure you can say you didn't steal it, but anybody aware of your legendary love (obsession) of all things dinosaur related know damn well that you're not only on the list of suspects, you're number one on that list.

However, I have a second plausable explaination if you'll indulge me for a moment.

My theory:
The dinorobot walked away under its own power.
Due to a human error, the maintenance and repair crew assigned to overhaul the dino made a catastrophical mistake when they installed a new experimental AI unit in the dino. The dinorobot is now out there somewhere hiding, plotting, scheming, just waiting for us to let our guard down so it can unleash its army of robotic dinos upon an unsuspecting world.

Maybe it just got up and walked away....

Oh come on Geekologie writer...don't make the Americans cry when you don't write in US dollars like #26 did...here's a tip...only write in US dollars as there in nothing outside of the US worth mentioning.

By the way Jaded Icon....it's nearly equal but actually $1million AUD = $1 100 000USD

Woops...the other way $1 Million AUD = $907 000 USD

@ 54

Wow. Should I have asked in Euros? I was asking as a frame of reference. It wouldn't make very much sense to ask how much it would be in pounds if I was from Cuba would it? *sniff* *sniff*, besides I'm not crying, I only have dust in my eye......

Bet its sittin in some Drug lords kids bedroom right now!

There's a hashtag and facebook group for the poor little missing dino (who was only a baby and is named Nigel) tweet #GiveNigelBack or join http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=191231762918#/group.php?gid=191231762918&ref=mf

Yay!! A chance for pussy fags to hide behind a username and insult someone else wooohoooo!! Way to go tuff guys LOL! Bet your ass you would never say it to a nigga or spic's face.. "yes I would, and I would shoot them" lol and then you woke up. I think the dark meat has stolen much of your hoes LOL. Ok, now continue with your intense internet dissing, but it will not make your dick grow... no matter how much you check it everyday. :D
