The best dinosaur was...

The Tricerotops. He was a pimp with horns. He kicked ass and took names. Fuck you if you don't agree with me. What the fuck do you think was better than the Tricerotops? Nothing? Great. I agree.

Alright, I guess this wouldn't be a valid tort (This OR That) if I didn't encourage you to say which dinosaur you think is/was the best. So there you go, I encourage you to post why you agree with me. Go.

[Titan]

I do completely agree with you Orgazmo.
The Pterodactyl was the best dinosaur.
He could swoop down on unsuspecting enemies like a German Stukabomber and really fuck their shit up.
Hell, yeah.

[Ugly Bastard]

Wow. Before I even clicked on this thread, I saw the title, and though to myself, "Ya gotta go Tricerotops".

So how about that....

Yeah, I actually said Pterodactyl, but I can see how you got confused since I said I agreed with Orgazmo. I was assuming he made a typo... I thought it was weird that anyone could spell Pterodactyl that incorrectly... that's not as weird as anyone thinking the Pterodactyl is not the shit though.

When I was a kid I was a huge T-rex fan...but as time went on, I realized that no dinosaur could be better than the Velociraptor. They're ruthless, meat-eating sons of bitches that I wouldn't want to get in the way of. Plus they were smarter than anything, they worked well as a team...they had it all goin' for them. I honestly can not think of another dinosaur that could take them.

Pterodactyl, from the air.

Actually, if you want to talk about dinosaurs that nothing else could fuck with, you need to talk about the Triceratops. I mean, this fucker has horns and a bad as hell attitude. The velociraptor is a tough son of a bitch...when fighting small game like chickens and squirrels, but when he tries to mess with a horn-equipped tank...he'll have met his match. The pterodactyl is just a pussy all around...comparable to the modern-day pigeon. In the end, the 3 horns can destroy all that is anything.

[Niger Angelus]

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhit.
Orgazmo, you are in denial great one. After all the movies and all the studying when you were in elementary school, you know, the velociraptor; is king. King.

I'll agree that of the pussy dinosaurs, the Velociraptor is the king...but he simply cannot compare to the big boys. It's like saying that a raccoon could kick the shit out of a squirrel, a cat, and a mouse. Sure, he's the king of these animals...but when you put the raccoon against a buffalo, he's going to get the shit kicked out of him. The Velociraptor is a raccoon, Mr. Angelus, a simple raccoon.

[Niger Angelus]

Yes, he may be a racoon, as you say, but it is a pack of racoon. And a pack of racoons are rather lethal. Very lethal.

[tonguegina]

Velociraptors could, and I'm sure did, very easily take down a triceratops. Triceratops are large, slow, and their only defence is on their face. I believe that one velociraptor could take down a triceratops by simply slashing at it's belly with its ginormous claw, spilling the triceratops' intestines, and essentially killing him, leaving the velociraptor the obvious victor.

[Titan]

And then the Pterodactyl would swoop down and crush the skulls of the raptors as he picks them up within his viciouss bone-crushing jaws, and drops them into the firey molten lava volcano.

[Niger Angelus]

Uhm, Titan, would your-wussy-o-dino-bird want to eat them instead?

[Titan]

If you're trying to make a pathetic attempt at insulting the king of all things with wings, no. The Pterodactyl has plenty of better things to eat than the fucking raptor with it's two gay dino claws that stick out and flaunt its homosexuality like it wants to be George Michael.

The Velociraptor
Height: 2.5 feet
Length: 5 feet
Weight: 200 lbs
Weapon: One 3" long claw on each foot
Defense: Speed

The Triceratops
Height: 9 feet
Length: 28 feet
Weight: 14,000 lbs
Weapon: Three large horns on the head
Defense: Heavily armored head & neck, very thick skin

Other Considerations
<UL TYPE=SQUARE><LI>The Velociraptor is roughly 5x smarter than the Triceratops
<LI>Although the Velociraptor was fast, the Triceratops wasn't as slow as you'd think...
<LI>The Velociraptor had hollow bones
<LI>Velociraptor literally means "Speedy Thief"; most of it's food came from thievery as opposed to hunting[/list]
One argument that you may bring against the Triceratops is that the Velociraptor hunted in packs, meaning that it would simply swarm the unsuspecting Triceratops and easily kill it. This is invalid for two reasons.

Firstly, tonguegina claimed that he believed "one velociraptor could take down a triceratops by simply slashing at it's belly with its ginormous claw." Along with this, Velociraptors weren't the only dinosaurs to play the "stay in a pack" game. The Triceratops also traveled in large herds, also staying together and protecting one another.

The battle between these two dinosaurs really would not even be close. You have a speedy little guy VS a tank. Sure, the Velociraptor's claws are lethal...but, vs a creature that is 9 ft. tall with as tough as leather with thickness to match...it really wouldn't matter. This isn't even mentioning the fact that the Triceratops had a bony plate that covered over 1/3 of it's entire body's length. Even if the Velociraptor did get a few swipes in, it wouldn't be deadly to the Triceratops. The only course of action necessary for the Triceratops would be to turn as the Velociraptor jumped, thus impaling the opponent quite easily.

The Triceratops is 3.5x taller, 4.5x longer, and 70x heavier than the Velociraptor. These facts alone make it clear that, in a VAST majority of battles, the Triceratops would kick the hell out of the Velociraptor. I don't care if they do have 3" claws that are sharp as hell...when you're giving up that much size, you are going to lose. It's kinda tough to actually visualize in your mind how these two would look together, so I offer you this:



Honestly...what the fuck? Game over, Triceratops wins.

[BrassMonkees]

thanks to orgazmo, i gave a little persuasive speech about how the tri was pretty much king of dinos. this is false however, the ankylosaurus is the greatest dinosaur out there. seriously he had a freaking battle mace on the end of his tail that could knock any other dinosaur out. he also had a full back of armor that no pterodactyl could bust through. pretty much he was a tank that couldn't be defeated. the tricerops could try and stab him, but it is really pointless in trying to break through a back of steel like the ankylosaurus.


enchantedlearning.com is where orgazmo's info can be found. orgazmo how about you tell how the tricerotops was pretty much a moron, and how "Triceratops was hunted and eaten by T. rex" and how slow it is. tricerotops sucks my friend. 3 horns pale in comparison to an armored back and a missle for a tail. ankylosaurus wins again

That is not fair at all, I mean, look at the chart. He made all that up, we all know the truth.

You make your Ankylosaurus sound like a huge pimp, Mr. Monkees, but you fail to mention that it was easily defeated by many dinosaurs after simply being flipped over. Because of the fact that the mace-like tail was its only weapon, it easily fell prey to those that could take more than one blow from the club, or those there were quick enough to avoid it yet still strong enough to flip it. The unplated underbelly probably tasted pretty good to the countless number of dinosaurs that had the chance to feed upon it.

If one was forced to compare the Ankylosaurus to a present day animal, it would probably be best represented by a turtle that had a short chain attached to it's tail and it's undershell cut clean off. I could kick that thing's ass easily.

[Niger Angelus]

Haha that would be fun to watch. We need to get some anitmation on here. We need to have, Nubblies cartoons. Good idea? Bad idea?

I'm shitty in the art of art...if you're not, go for the gold.

[Niger Angelus]

I just thought, I dont knowm, it would make for some more humor here on nubblies. And more post, thus more to talk about.

[Titan]

[Niger Angelus]

See like that, now we need stuff like that in strip form. Titan, you truly amaze me. Though your dino is gay.

[Titan]

I'm sure some potential comix are possible and will be added to the Paint Gallery... That one of Ugly Penis was a nice one panel.
