Here Be Dragons

On Sunday, March 20th, Animal Planet is airing Dragons: A Fantasy Made Real, a CGI-laden special that imagines what it would be like if all the myths and stories about dragons were true.

I'm thinking that if dragons were real and I could have one, I'd teach it to power wash my driveway. And mow my lawn. In fact, I'd shoot for owning a yardwork dragon. They have those, don't they?

By power wash, you mean turn into a smoking pile of melted concrete right?

I'd teach mine how to make smores just right. Mmmmmm, smores....

Using a dragon to make smores is overkill, not to mention an inefficient use of resources. I'm guessing here, but I'd say that dragonfire is not very environment friendly. Now using a dragon to push my 5 HP Toro across my lawn seems more respectful of Mother Earth. And if I don't win Yard of the Month, I could make smores out of the judges on the Neighborhood Committee, those Nazi bastards!
