    “Mom, I want a thagomizer!”

    “We have a thagomizer at home.”

    The thagomizer at home:

    IIRC, paleontologists LOVE the Thagomizer.

      Yup, because of his comic about it, paleontologists have officially named it the Thagomizer.

          Me too. It feels like some piece of the Universe slipping into just the right place.

    I have the Thagomizer comic hanging at my desk because I was raised on Larson and to always remind me that silliness can make a profound impact.

    What crazy timing. I’ve been cooking the past couple hours and randomly thought about the thagomizer.

      I’m not supposed to tell you this, but this is not random. you’re basically in the truman show, and you’re the central character. They noticed you thinking about it, so made sure it became relevant again!

        Sorry for such a lackluster show if it comes down to making sure I’m looking at the correct memes

        It’s better than constantly thinking about the Roman Empire
