A text about a contemporary Argentine artist who mostly works in drawing
Cuando tocamos este material recordamos a esas personas tan antiguas, casi monos, que caminaban arrastrando palos inmensos, palos dinosaurios, haciendo marcas chicas cortas y marcas largas, caminos. ¿Para qué arrastraban? ¿Para poder volver por el mismo lado o para probar con otro sendero? ¿Para fundar un terreno, para fundar una idea? pues sí, la idea de dibujo.
My question is if "palos dinisaurios" refers to something specific...
Thanks

dinosaur clubs
Not in the sense of a fan club or football club, but a "garorote/maza/porra para dinosurios"....
It's poetic...
It's poetic...
Example sentence:
...where you were in charge of a caveman, clubbing dinosaurs and all that good stuff...
There's no clubbing dinosaurs or slinging helpless women over your shoulder here...

: Just saying "clubs" or "giant clubs" would be fine, too.

dinosaur sticks
It's poetic and it plays with both the dimensions of the stick and the fact that these sticks were extremely old, old as dinosaurs.
