Obvious Observations: Prehistoric Edition
April 15, 2009
When I open the garage door in the morning to go to work, it squeals and screeches like a pterodactyl. The sound makes me wonder if my house was built in the middle of Jurassic Park–and if all sorts of massive lizard-esque predators with sharp eyes and sharper talons are waiting outside my home, longing for a brisk morning attack.
I hate my morning commute, but that faux pterodactyl scream reminds me that it could be worse. Road rage is always a possible threat (to me, not by me) en route to my job. Dinosaur attack is a rarer one.

I really enjoyed this. Comparing screeching metal to dinosaur attacks = awesome
I love:
-the comparison of the noise to a pterodactyl (our garage made a similar noise growing up and I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had made a similar connection)
-the last paragraph
-the category you listed this under…it made me smile
Thanks! I considered calling these kinds of posts “Deep Thoughts,” but apparently that’s already taken.
Pterodactyls have been on my mind since I saw this video of Maria Bamford imitating them: http://www.truveo.com/pterodactyl/id/144115234330801802
