Production Note From Prehistoric Insanity
The Google related crisis here at The Tyrannosaur Chronicles has been dealt with. We paid their content related ransom, and bought the additional storage.
To help raise funds for this in the future (we were thinking of doing this anyway) we'll be likely coming up with some Traumador/Dinosaur merchandise. Ideas include T-Shirts, posters, and possibly models/action figures! (There's a slight chance we'll have access to a prototyping machine later this year! At the same time don't get you're hopes up too high for these just yet...). Let us know if you'd be interested in any of these or others.
As for all the supportive comments left by our loyal readers, thank you! We appreciate the helpful suggestions too, and though there were none google means of storing pictures these are not as convenient or time efficient as the built in google uploader. Again the problem was caused by Traumador's high picture saturation (We have over 3000 pictures on this site!). Sadly other solutions add about 30-60 seconds a picture, which when the average Traum post has 10+ that eats up blogging time in a hurry. Especially given that Traum's current return to Drumheller has some 500 pictures just itself!
Once again we apologize for the delay this has caused, and hope you enjoy future Traumador stories in the year to come!
Hi! I'm Traumador The Tyrannosaur
"I may only have a brain the size of a peanut... wait what was I saying again?"
Welcome to My Life
Rather than bore you with a long life story, I thought I'd share some of the memorablia I've collected from my many adventures.
Like all (good?) stories mine has a beginning. Only unlike most others that claim it, my story really does start a LONG time ago!
When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth!!!
It was back at the hey day of my kind that I originate from. 65 million years ago during the Cretaceous period, to be precise.
I was born...
Now I can't tell you details about it, for obvious reasons, but my egg was lain in prehistoric Alberta.
Something REALLY bad happened!!!
Then a few weeks or months after my egg was laid, the Dinosaurs went extinct...
I didn't notice
Yet somehow I survived, after a fasion. My egg was buried, but despite all logic this did NOT kill me. Rather put me into a slumber through the ages (and pre-ages!). Millions and millions of years. You know come to think of it, I was really bored!!!
I was discovered
Despite all the odds against it, when I was finally uncovered my egg hatched, and I found myself a Dinosaur in the modern world...
The Explorer
My discoverer was a tour guide named Craig who fashioned himself a palaeontologist. However up until the day he found me, his ambition hadn't gone so well. I wonder if he wishes his luck hadn't changed after finding me?
Being a Dinosaur in the modern era, I didn't growup like any other Dinosaur before me...
I was raised by humans
Craig took me into his home, and as of such i grewup to think more like a mammal most of the time, and not a tyrannosaur...
My First Roommate
Dan also lived in our house, and unlike Craig, he often didn't like the problems and mischief i'd get into
My Mom
i would encounter my mother, after a fashion, only she'd been long dead. only her skeleton remains today, but i guess it's better than nothing.
My Play Mates
When I finally met and made friends with some other Dinosaurs, I of course picked the oddest Dinosaurs a T-Rex could hang out with!
Sadly I couldn't just sit around the house eating and playing video games forever... I eventually entered the work force. The number of jobs avaliable to a Dinosaur are pretty limited though...
I ended up at the local museum
Fortunately my hometown is home to one of the best Palaeontology museums in the world! So I got a job there...
I learned all thing Palaeontology
Naturally while at the Tyrrell I picked up some scientific know how and skills!
The girl of my dreams...
I fell in love with the museum's star attraction, Lillian the Albertosaur... Not that she returned the feelings back in those days!
Till I was fired...
The museum had too many Dinosaurs wanting to work there. So due to me being me, I was one of the ones let go...
The Tyrrell was a huge part of who I was early in my life. Without it I needed a new direction...
There were too many other Dinosaurs...
Unfortunately Drumheller was just overrun with other Dinosaurs. So I wasn't going to be able to stay there, and make a name for myself.
So I tried to find my own space...
I travelled across BC thinking I was travelling back in time. Only later would I find out BC in Canada stands for British Columbia!
I needed help...
Larry the Tyrannosaur
I moved!
To New Zealand
I'm a big deal to the Government!
I work at a museum...
My (almost) secret origin!
Nearly a hundred years ago, the mysterious fossil hunter Francis Slate nearly uncovered my egg. For some reason he left me there in badlands. forced wait for someone else to uncover me...

I sincerely didn't know we had to pay for extra storage space. Ok, it's not that difficult to figure out but I hadn't thought about that before.
I just hope they won't add more limits in the future.
Yay! Glad the crisis has been averted, even though Google are now even richer and you are poorer :(
I'd definitely buy merchandise, traumador action figures!!!! Or a t-shirt that says "eggnant" or something along those lines.
Good to Hear!!!!!!!! Although, if Google has more limits in the future, I'll cut my ties with them pesonally and permanently!! :( That wasn't fair to you and why do we have to pay for pictures? That's stupid!! They can get money some other way!! Sorry you guys had that issue. Can you still post pics? I'd love some Traum merchandise, by the way. :) "eggnant" LOL!!!
Hey!
If you need any help merching up, talk to me, as I have a fair bit of experience in the matter!
Also, have you thought about setting up a Paypal donate? I would totally donate!
I may want a Traum puppet!
