I’m abandoning good manners and water cooler chit-chat. I’m going to grunt and snort expressively. I’m going to hurl stones to illustrate my displeasure. I’m going to hunt Mastadon and live in a cave like Fred Flintstone.
I’ve had it with the modern world. I’m going to evolve. Or devolve. Whatever.
Grunt! Booga-booga. Snarl.

Grrrr.
On the bright side, you should still be able to use geico.com.
I have to point out that announcing your decision to become one with your pre-historic heritage on a high-tech message board smacks just a tad of irony.
You’re becoming a teenager?
Good luck on that, there can be some real energy savings to cave living. You can save a lot on heating and cooling if done properly. Also as Hal pointed out, Car Insurance.
BTW, wassup with the Jersey contingent checking in on this thread early?
Jim
Not only NJ, but central NJ, probably within 35 miles of one another.

Hey, we’ll be neighbors. Come by if you need to borrow a cup of beet pulp or anything.
…you all habitually search the keywords “cave man?” 
Crap, I’m late.
Winston, just make sure you get one of those kickass bird-beak record players. Because you don’t want to live in a cave and have no tunes, you know?
That must be it. 
Winston, I would strongly suggest following this basic plan of “Hole Dwelling”.
**Oy!, ** I went looking for the Twilight Zone music and instead got caught up reading the wiki article on it.
Draelin here, hooray, ok now we need to lure Oy! out to the dopefest in September.

[unfortunate serious hijack]I’m sorry, I can’t drive. I haven’t been able to work in two months because I’m having as yet undiagnosed-cause dizzy spells. One of the big problems is that I can’t drive any distance. (Riding with someone else is out too - it’s the motion that brings on the dizziness apparently). Probably some inner ear thing, but absolutely zero hearing loss, so I’m good there.
Don’t worry about me, I actually feel fine and there’s no reason to believe there’s anything seriously wrong going on. I’m not sick. In fact, I’m having a great time! I’m one of those people whose best dream is to be locked in her own home, so this is about as good as it gets. But I can’t come to a DopeFest. I’m sorry, especially about you, Jim, as I run into you more often than Draelin or Hal, and I think you’re one of the nicest people on the SDMB. (I’m not saying anything negative about Draelin or Hal <well, baa, maybe>, it’s just that I run across Jim more often and so know him better - I hang out in the Pit a lot.) But unless you want to hold a DopeFest in my living room, I can’t come. Sorry!
Actually, I’ve got a pretty nice living room. But parking would be limited - it’s an urban residential neighborhood. That being said, you’re all certainly welcome! Just let me know in advance! But you MUST bring Eve! If I’m ever going to give a party, Miss Dorothy Parker Manners must be there!
Betcha I could get twickster!

Good luck finding and defending a large enough foraging area.
Keep in mind that if you must drag your mate around, it’s best to drag her by the hair. If you drag her by the feet, she’ll fill up with sand.
Wow, I never knew that. Makes sense now.
Oy!: thanks for the kind words and you better watch out, one day we’ll all take you up on that offer.
Jim
Actually the invitation was dead serious. If you guys decided right now you wanted to change your next DopeFest to my house, I’d have not the slightest problem with that; it’s not like I’m going anywhere! And I’ll betcha I could get Twickster to come, even though she’s PA.
I’m still trying to get a group together to get back to the ocean. C’mon, gills!
Perhaps becoming a Caveman is not for you, Winston.
Perhaps you should consider becoming a Barbarian.
Barbarians are allowed to use Metal, like swords & axes. Barbarians can ride on horseback. Barbarians are Fully Licensed to carry off Nubile Dancing Girls In Skimpy Outfits©.
And, if you are the entrepeneur type, Barbarians can form Maurauding Barbarian Hordes® for fun & profit.

The severed head of a Stygian sorcerer, by Crom!
WHO WANTS TO KNOW?!? :dubious:
You too? how many of those are still in circulation?
