[QUOTE=FriarTed]  
This is the first step to your eventually becoming a lawyer, is it not?  
[/QUOTE]  
Yes, that was [my first thought](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unfrozen_Caveman_Lawyer) too.

[QUOTE=Inigo Montoya]  
Hey **Smith** , once you get settled in your new digs, come on over to my place and we’ll have some cactus juice and throw some darts. My neanderthal woman will throw some bronto-burgers on the fire for us…man, neanderthal chicks are sooo hot! Did you know their hoohahs go _sideways_…?  
[/QUOTE]

Thanks, man. I’ll drag the little woman over and we’ll party like it’s 19990 (BC).

So, you and **FriarTed** are mocking me, then?

I announce a _major_ life-change, and you mock me?

Shocking.

[QUOTE=Bosda Di’Chi of Tricor]  
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.  
[/QUOTE]

I hear you can make some mad bank off the Romans that way. Then **Winston** can pay for his own Duck, with the mango salsa.

That’s all right. I’ve got a job already - I’m a Systems Engineer for a software company. The whole Cave Man thing is more of a _lifestyle choice_.

Jesus fish, I get–what is a Jesus horse?

I always thought Fred was a rip off of Jacke Gleason ala Honeymooners, too.

I’ll help gather, if you promise to drag me off by my hair. 😉

My understanding is “Jesus Horse” was coin on SNL, I think for the oddball fundies that think man and dinosaurs coexisted. They showed a picture of Jesus riding a small Sauropod. It has been floating around the internet for a while and strangely enough was brought up at lunch today my one of my co-workers.

Can’t we just settle this peacably with large rocks?

Oh. Yes. Of course.  
[/QUOTE]

Wait, I read this as settling this with “large racks”, a technique that I fully and wholeheartedly endorse.

I _have_ a large rack, but I refuse to take sides.

However, if someone were to club me on the head and drag me off by my hair, I suppose it would be out of my hands.
