I post this while (still) stranded at home from a global warming ice blizzard that turned the beaches of NW Florida & Alabama white with ice and snow.

Wait, I thought that they traced the Neanderthals DMA to DemocRATS

I wonder why the physically stronger neanderthals became extinct. That is hard to believe since modern humans 70-80 thousand years ago did not possess good weapons to overpower neanderthals. More likely the two races mixed and became undiscernible. I am convinced of this because I have run across so many people who act and look like neanderthals.

I question whether Neanderthals actually went extinct after my visit to a fairly remote area in the middle of France about five years ago.

Some of the ugliest people, with such grotesque facial features, I've ever seen in my life. Not just one or two, but dozens of 'em, walking upright, clothed, and without clubs, they certainly had the stereotypical caveman, kinda sorta Marice Tillet look spread across the face.

"So she was all, like... oh, you're such a Neanderthal..."

"So I get right in her face, you know? So what does that make you, huh? End of argument. Get snippy with me, Uuh!"

The Dude!!!!

If there were only two choices between Barry and “The Dude”...would you abide or let the little Lebowski Achievers take office as they are now?

It’s total conjecture. I was wondering if the new Pack mentality of the emerging homo sapiens lead to them wiping out the Neanderthals.

It probably started with a form of the punching game, but with prehistoric rules.

The Dude for POTUS and Walter for Sec Def.

Looks like we are reverting back to Neanderthals.

We had significant snow just south of Birmingham in '66 or so.

The "locals" had real issues with getting around.
