poor John, I suppose we should’ve dino-saured it coming… I’ll get me coat
Not at all, @avernos – that was a funny joke. You shouldn’t be “saur” hard on yourself. 😐
hey, that joke was so old … it was positively prehistoric.;-)
He might be a Tyrant up there… but I think @warzan will get a Saurus from riding on that thing…
Awesome, @rayzryr – and he’d better be careful how he yells at John before he “rex” their friendship. 😐 😐 😐
BTW – John reminds me of the characters froim the old French Foreign Legion movie – March or Die.
Yep a Megasaurus
It’s not a dinosaur it’s a bird!
This just made my day ! I feel like John have become the probity of Warren in these comics ;D
It would be a lot more interesting if they forced John to build the pyramid from the top down, working from the bottom up is too easy.
Ha Ha Ha love it guys.
Hahaha striking again with the comedy gold, damn this is one of the best so far
Fantastic! And the thread here just keeps me laughing 😀
I am bookmarking this for later reference on a future WAYPN post…
