This is apparently a side-effect of eating at TGI Friday's too frequently...you start making up the stupidest crap on the planet.

So, I give you the Mr. T-Raptor. He'll pity you, kick your ass, and he's a genetic hybrid of a velociraptor and a t-rex.



Side note: Interestingly, a Google Images search for "velociraptor" now brings up a bunch of hard drive photos. Thank you, Western Digital.

Needs more gold chains but funny.

On the other hand, a search for Caviar doesn't show a hard drive image until page 5. Greedy people !!

I tried googling "twilight" today in need of a photograph of a sunset. Imagine my annoyance. (I made it to page 7 before entering a new query).

I don't know what the fuss is over Robert Pattinson. He's not remotely attractive.

Would have made much more sense.

Ah, but what's cooler than a t-rex/velociraptor hybrid?

That looks like T-Deinonychus. Raptors were small and had feathers.

Yeah, I saw that on Wikipedia. I went instead with a 3D image some guy made and posted on a forum.

I think it fits better, at any rate...

If I could find the bloody things, this is where I would repost the picture of the velociraptor in a shower cap

That's because Google are teh suck. I'm beginning to think that the keywords meta tag was a fine idea.
Been inclined to wander... off the beaten track.

That would completely change the joke.

I would be more interested in a Model T raptor.
