Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I forgot after getting in this morning, to thank everyone for Vegas suggestions. We didn't get to do nearly everything we wanted, but we'll have to go back.
We did get to see someone get married on the gondola. The groom was in the bar with us right before which was cool.
Very tired. Second day in a row of not being able to get to sleep very well, and waking up waaaay too early.
Stayed up too late, morning "shower" using buckets of water warmed on stove, washing hair in sink and dashing briefly under really cold falling water does not wake me up. Makes me cranky, but does not wake me up.
well, the military isn't that well trained in hand to hand combat.
Presuppose Israeli army.
Neither has a weapon at the ready.
I'm thinking of Neanderthals, which means superior physical strength, but far less agile. Also short.

Doesn't "cavemen" imply our ancestors? Or not - I suppose Neanderthals lived in caves too....
careful about assumptions about Neandertals; the common perception is based on pretty poor anthropological work done back in the early 1900s (Jars or Flea can correct me on this). It's accepted now that they weren't the lumbering awkward types popular culture has portrayed them as.

yeah, haven't you seen the Geico commercial!
Oh, just tazer them, declare yourself a god and be done with it.
I've decided it is a very good thing I'm not flying anytime soon, because everytime I read yet another garbled, take-my-terror-water-and-death-vaseline-away-from-me list of restrictions, I get a huge rage and I fear I'd become That Asshole. Which I really try to keep wrapped up.
Unexpected benediction in the New York Times this morning:
...the plant may offer another opportunity. Now would be a pretty good time to dump a dead body in the botanic garden.

I always assumed Neanderthals on cavemen.
