Personally, I am more frightened when someone lets T-rex out of his pen than when someone leaves the cake out in the rain. When someone leaves the cake out in the rain, you don't eat the cake, or you eat soggy cake. That's disappointing, but life goes on. When someone lets T-rex out of his pen, T-rex eats you.

How about you? Which park do you find more frightening in the dark? Why?

I deleted this post. It was stupid.

But I stick with my MacArthur Park vote.

I can't imagine why, you dress like this:

$5 to the first person to identify the image correctly

And you didn't say specify the year. You just said name the person in the image. I want my $5.

I said the image, not the person in the image. And there are many elements to an image.

That's close enough for me. My first guess, too.

Looks like you get your own $5 back. Until next time.

You can't just give it back. The Antichrist has to deliver it.

Jawbone didn't mention it, but the arm ends shortly after the picture, and the $5 is inseparable from the hand.

So, you are asking: Which is scarier, dinosaurs or Mexicans? MacArthur park is a terrible place (far worse than Echo park), but I think it is a little safer than velocirapters coming after you. Also, if you speak spanish you will be alright in MacArthur park, and you can get a passport and social security number there.

Do you suppose that T-rex would eat soggy cake if someone let him out of his pen?

A T-rex is a large creature. Quite large. It cannot fit in a pen. Not even a pencil.

In Jurassic Park, you might be eaten by a dinosaur, but in MacArthur Park, you might run across a dinosaur showering, so I suppose it evens out.
