It said that we had been 2 days free from a
VELO-SAP-TOR sighting.
VELO-SAP-TOR sighting.
I thought to myself, “what the what is a VELO-SAP-TOR?”
I had heard some buzz around about how the sign came from another office and how we would appreciate the humour but no one would fess up to the sign. If any of you know me,
*I’m one nosey person*
I can’t handle not knowing something so I set out to find out who deemed this a VELO-SAP-TOR free workplace and furthermore what a VELO-SAP-TOR was. There were only three people who it could be- Sandy, Sandy Junior or Liza. I narrowed it down to Liza or Junior and I walked up to Junior and asked “Did you place that VELO-SAP-TOR sign up there??” and she started to laugh and asked me “What is a VELO-SAP-TOR?? And no, I did no such thing.” I asked her well how do you say it then? She said
“veh-loss-ih-RAP-tor”
As I watched her expression, I decided she did it. She denied it. I also wrote down the word velociraptor as I had a hard time pronouncing it without reading it. Then I went to email the other office where said sign came from. I got an email back saying “I think it was Sandy Junior…. it was posted here and Junior thought it would be funny to have at your office.” Sandy Junior denied the accusation again and said “I just showed interest! Only interest!” I kept investigating Junior, questioning her about how she knew the correct pronunciation of the velociraptor and she just said she likes dinosaurs.
I said to Junior that I thought that picture was of a T-Rex and it came out that I’d never seen Jurassic Park. Junior then started telling me all about this velociraptor feller and how I should see the movie. It just so happened that the movie was playing in 3D in the theatres so I planned to go. Meanwhile, I’d emailed the other office again persuading them to tell me about the sign and confessed my shelteredness. I was emailed some time later, confirming indeed it was Junior. Junior laughed when I told her. She informed me she was phoned before I received the email to get her permission to tell me, they felt bad that I was so sheltered and should know the truth. They felt I was missing out not knowing what a velociraptor was and that I must see Jurassic Park. I had never been big into dino’s and wasn’t sure if I’d like Jurassic Park but I thought, if it’s in 3D 20 years later it must be good.

First of all- this movie is scary as hell in 3D. No wonder I’ve never seen it, dinosaurs are scary. And loud. I absolutely loved the concept of this movie, who would have thought about a dinosaur park with real dinosaurs? It also made me wonder: are little Dominican’s still mining for mosquitoes trapped in sap with the possibility that they are carrying dino DNA?? If so, that would be awesomeeeee. On a small scale.
The movie is also pretty funny. My favourite quote is when everyone first arrives at the park and they are all on a ride to show them what goes on behind the scenes and one of scientists asks, “Are these characters auto erotica?” wtf why did he ask that?? I laughed so hard. Also, the effects were so well done for a movie that is almost as old as me….
It was almost like a horror movie and I jumped a lot. First of all, the one dino that keeps following that guy who plays the wrestler in Billy Madison (I have also been informed he plays Newman on Seinfeld which I have yet to see) and spit on him looked so cute at first. Then BAM his head flaps fly out and he’s jumping and spitting at him. WOAH. I don’t even care to know what kind of dinosaur he is.
The T-Rex scream is piercingly loud and look so real. Even though their arms are short and not menacing, the teeth. The teeth…
I finally got to see and hear about the velociraptor! They are like baby T-Rex’s. BUT: they have some sharp talons as Napoleon Dynamite would say and they don’t travel alone. They quietly surround you and use some crazy flanking techniques to kill you.I thought that the T-Rex would have been the focus of this movie as he is on the cover of the movie but no they like velociraptors for some reason.
All in all this was a great movie and I think its better I never saw the movie until now because I got to experience it 3D! YAY 3D. The 3D also made it scary.
In other news, I found this in my office and I will say I will beware. I am afraid of the VELO-SAP-TOR.
