McRaptor

Posted by Clifton Labrum on January 2, 2006

Word has it that the owner of that McDonald’s put the raptor there because it was no longer needed at a miniature golf attraction he had back in Safford. He likely forked over a lot of money to have it made, so why not attract peoples’ attention with it? It caught my eye, and I would have eaten there if it weren’t McDonald’s. It’s best to avoid McGas and McBurps and especially McTummyAche.

It's possible that a number of things could be the case for this skillfully placed velociraptor:

The owner was/is attempting to make his McD's as cool as the oh-so-famous Claude Bell's Dinosaurs that were seen on Pee Wee's Big Adventure.

Being slightly grossed out by his own food, he decided that he should discourage potential visitors from eating at all by reminding them of the description in Jurassic Park of the raptor's ability to disembowel its victim prior to consumption

Or you could just go with your miniature golf explanation... which I don't really care for

I'm just waiting for the video of you acting like a dinosaur. I expect for it to be on par with Jim Carrey's version in Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. No, I haven't watched any of these movies in the past 6 months.

Yeah, a video woulda' been cool. My wife, at times, makes me do my velociraptor for guests. "You're sure to see them again."

I want a camcorder for my birthday. Jenn, are you reading this?
