The Gorn was an astronaut! He was the captain of the Gorn ship.
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

so what is Pluto?
Maybe not a planet anymore, according to the Science Channel show I watched last night.They need to step the hell off of trying to demote Pluto.

Cindy, this would be fabulous done by you. Please?
It's the neighbor... She's got a plate of food for me... Said I looked like I needed a good end to the day.
I love your neighbor. How lovely.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Flying today fucking sucked. 15 hours after getting to the Vegas airport, I'm finally home. If I ever have to stand in another line I will lose it.
The line for security went from baggage check, snaked back several times and then you really couldn't have anything and get through easily. We checked everything but our books since we were warned on the shuttle.
We were very lucky we left so early. Mr. Jane's coworker spent 9 hours just trying to get on a plane.

I'm SO hoping that flying is easier today.
Yes, I AM awake insanely early. Which is shading over into not-so-insanely late by Left Coast standards.

What is even happening?
Me too, Theo. 4:44. Good flying to you.
Allyson, I think you can't assume a caveman would have no fighting skill. He would not have technological skill, but he would live a pretty physical existence, particularly if a carnivore.
Cindy, this would be fabulous done by you. Please?JenP, you're making me blush. I don't know. I read it in your quote-back this morning, and heard, "Physician, heal thyself." Words to live by, or caffeine deficit?

Caveman's gotta hunt to eat. No guns or bows, which means to a certain extent, the caveman knows how to fight.

Right. And I was suppose the astronaut more "civilized." I would guess most people can get their psyches in fight-to-the-death mode when they need to, but I'm thinking the caveman might either start out there, or be able to get there, quicker.

I think hunting skills and fighting skills are significantly different. Generally prey wants to escape from you, not attack you.
Part of the problem is that "caveman" isn't defined. If you're talking paleolithic humans... they weren't hunting with their bare hands. Before bows there were slings and spears.
The other part of the problem is that nothing else is defined, either.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am so sorry for anyone who flew yesterday. They say today is better, but still.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'm so glad I don't have to get on a plane anytime soon. My sympathies to those who have to travel for whatever reason.
Ima go with caveman. If someone has to kill to eat, I'm going to assume they're going to be better at it than someone who doesn't.
