Where has the BA Book been, Part VII: The Peewee edition

Oh, that book! It’s been to Serbia, Australia, Scotland… what could be cooler than those?

BABloggee Nancy showed me where.

OMG OMG OMG it’s the dinosaur where Peewee talked to Simone at sunrise and then got chased by Andy when he carried a big dinosaur bone!

That is so cool. Maybe I should have a new subcategory of places where the book has been that are also in my favorite movies. Who wants to pose with one in Little China?

So, do you own a copy of the book? Take a picture of yourself holding it in some fun location, send it to me, and I’ll post it here!

I need to find a cool location around Ohio to do this…

Maybe I’ll take an hour drive to Neil Armstrong’s house?

This picture can also be filed in the subcategory of pictures of the book taken at creationist museums.

Sighhhhhhh…

Drat. Six months ago, I could have posed with the book in BIG China.

This looks like it could have been taken in Drumheller, Alberta! Home of the Royal Tyhrell Museum. (I can never spell that place!) Awesome dinosaurs, and fossil beds galore!

Must rent that movie. Is it kid friendly? I cannot believe I asked that about Pee Wee….

I could take photos of the book in Russia, Siberia, Mongolia, and China. However, that trip won’t be until 2009.

Also, if the photo had been a profile of the dino, you could see Jesus riding on its back. So says the Creation Museum.

BA,

When the truck driver is telling Peewee that story, and says, “And when they finally pulled the driver’s body…from the twisted, burning wreck…it looked like this!”, it scared the beejeezus out of me.
Thanks for bringing up bad memories.

Kid friendly? Sure! There is a scene that for about 1 second, literally, freaked my then six-year-old daughter out (when PeeWee is in a truck and the truck driver is telling him a scary story). It’s a REALLY funny sight gag, but can be too scary for very little kids.

I couldn’t help but notice that the dinosaur in that photo has no genitals.
