Oh, my cats ask if the Theropodumrumpokátaluma, also eats tuna fish.
Well, the Theropod would probably eat tuna if he saw it. And he would certainly eat small furry mammals. Hide, Fluffy and Tabby.
I’m a piker compared to you in making up names!
Just trying to reach a higher level of goofy! 🙂
That’s a gigantic word!

Well, you win on sheer creativity. I’m impressed. I often think my dogs are what velociraptors evolved into. Or maybe WE are what they became. I am a velociraptor, yes, I am.
Raptors — they apparently evolved into birds.
I spend several precious seconds trying to figure out how to pronounce (quick scroll up and copy word) “Theropodumrumpokátaluma” only to learn it is a fiction. I feel cheated, I truly do.
You’d have to speak velociraptor to get it truly right. It’s a very dead language.
