Post by: Bone pile on January 09, 2009, 08:13:54 pm: I've been under the attack of Yankee Tourist germs and been down for a few days.Then I turned on the TV last night and watched the GATORS work and I felt like goin' primitive.So I knocked out some ol'style points.

Being alumini and such. I like to fluff their feathers now and then also...... ;D

Post by: stickbender on January 13, 2009, 10:59:21 pm: I bet they would do a number on a Wooly Mamoth. I will wait in camp, and you can tell me if you got one or not. I am not getting that close to one of those things, till it has been dismembered! I will help you haul the ivory away though...... ;)I've always, wondered, not only who they got to clean one of those things, but who had to drag it home!! I don't think I would want to mess with them. ;D ;D Aw rats, they got a Mamoth, well, I'm not dragging this one home piece by piece, I'm moving the camp to it. ;D ;D

Title: Re: paleo
Post by: stickbender on January 13, 2009, 11:08:28 pm:    Those guys might know about those things. If I ever run into one, I will ask about those points, and get back to you. Man, just imagine what it must've been like back then. A bit scary I would imagine. I bet there were some big ol rattlers then! Not to mention the Gators......sloths, lions, wolves, Mammoths, and maybe even some megalodons, swimming about...... ;)
  I would have to tote my 45-70 with me. It is the biggest thumper I have, at the moment. Other than a 12 gauge slug. Man those people really had some jingle bells, to be able to make it in that environment. But man, can you just imagine the hunting, and fishing/!! ;D ;D come on, somebody, invent a time machine...... 8) 8)

the time machine idea would be cool, but i dont think you would be able to go back in time. it would only allow you to go forward
becuase the time machine wouldnt have existed in the past. ???

Post by: stickbender on January 15, 2009, 09:23:08 pm: Sailordad, sure you could. The time space continuim, or time space fabric can be bent, to go forwaed, or backward......i ;)
You just have to know where, when, and how much to bend...... ;D Which I will wait till they have it perfected......Then we can go paleo hunting...... ;D ;D
