Mountain Man Dance Moves: The McSweeney's Book of Lists

Tee hee. Compiled from the website with various new unicorn-themed ones interspersed, along with supposed extracts from a tourist guide to German (those last being, if manufactured for this book, completely straight-faced).

Eight reasons why a tyrannosaur caught in a tornado is a funny thing to think about

1. The tiny, flailing arms
2. The helpless "RARRRRRR!"
3. The angry, wild-eyed expression
4. That dinosaur with the sail on his back floats by and he's just cruisin'
5. The landing
6. The
Wizard of Oz music playing in the background. What an anachronism!
7. Tyrannosaurs inhabited the western United States, an area of the country known for its heavy tornado activity. Statistically speaking, it is probable that the scenario in question actually happened at least once. In this, as in all enduring comedy, there is a grain of indubitable truth inside the humour.
8. "RARRRRRR!" Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! "RAAAARRRRRRRRRR!"
