"Hey Blam, I've heard that Homo Erectus ate crunchy food... "

Yup. I heard they liked carrots.

I thought it was asparagus that kept them Homo Erecticusses erect and cussing.

Hot lava on a stick!

That's a too tuffa sell. You'll have better luck with sausage onna bun.

The more I look at that in context, the more appalled I become at what researchers a couple thousand years from now would make of me and the mosaic we had installed on the wall behind our stove in the home we sold a few years ago. It was NOT a menu.

Yes, I built (mainly with my own two hands) it to last. "If you can't park a Sherman tank in the living room, and not have it fall into the basement, then A) the room is too small; B) the floor is too weak; C) BOTH." (You have to build it in, however; it would never fit through the door.)

My building philosophy is, "if a tree falls on it, the tree should either bounce or break; not damage the roof!" I believe that comes from my Romano-Germanic, Romano-Gallic, and Romano-Brittanic ancestry.

Hmmm. Ancient Roman barmaids often had a little something "extra" on the menu. Wonder if they'll be that authentic??
