Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Doesn't "cavemen" imply our ancestors? Or not - I suppose Neanderthals lived in caves too....

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

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.

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.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

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.
