    A movie one, no. A real one, yes. They were about 40 pounds.

      I definitely wouldn’t be happy about it if I were unarmed, but it’s basically a particularly ferocious goose. A baseball bat would be enough to give me a decent chance at leaving more or less unscathed.

      You think you have defeated it. But then the attack comes. Not from the front, from the sides.

    Real velociraptor was basically a turkey. The movie ones are closer to Utah raptor.

      Yeah, but like a four foot turkey with sharp teeth and talons. I’m not sure I win that fight.

      Like, I’m pretty sure I could beat up a 10 year old kid. That’s about the size (if not the strength) of a velociraptor. But if that kid is all coked up, has kitchen knives in each hand and a football helmet with razors on the face mask, I’m not nearly as confident. Then if there’s a second one waiting to attack from the flank, then fuck that.

    1 maybe. They traveled in gaggles though.
