- Could modern man beat up a Neanderthal? [Slate]
If the human was the good guy, then yes they would be able to beat up the neanderthal. At least that’s what watching years of action movies has taught me. It might take awhile, and for a second you might think he is going to lose, but eventually the human will pull it out in the end.
As a parent of a DHS student,, I find the 3ten (http://www.3ten.org/) web site a good way to stay up on highschool student stuff.
Good comments on the Historic Preservation picks.
I have heard that Candler Park Golf Course’s concessionaire is not profitable because they lack a beverage license due to proximity to the school. Would hate to lose this gem.
I predict that Sweet Auburn will become a successful, new Underground because of the influx of Georgia State students.
I agree with your hope for Sweet Auburn…
However, your comment is suggests that the adjective “successful” could be paired with the proper noun “Underground.” To make it successful would mean it no longer reflects the defining characteristic of Underground.
It’s like saying “dry water” or “hot ice.”
1. New Light Room? I thought it was a mosque!
2. Square Foot Remodel- Still like to linger under the awning during a light rainfall. Illegal but so relaxing.
3. Sweet Auburn In Peril?- Wait until they play Alabama!
4. Daily Rider- May I suggest he ride MARTA from the airport back to Decatur on Friday night after 10:00. Could lead to more anxiety than watching “A Cabin In The Woods” a week before going to camp in the north Georgia mountains. But still, riding MARTA, especially at night is a sign of real courage.
5. Eating Triceratops? Oh no, not another chi chi menu item at a Decatur area restaurant.
6. Could Neanderthal Whip A Decatur Boy? Only if he was an Obama man. Romney supporters would whip out a firearm and end it quick.
Smiley face after each, especially number 6.
BTW, Friday is homecoming. Don’t forget about the parade and the big game. There are not many things more important to a real Souther town than homecoming. Hope to see all dressed in Blue and Gold.
Chris:
I ride a MARTA bus (#2 Ponce de Leon route) every work day in the evening. I am not sure what you mean with your statement that “riding MARTA, especially at night is a sign of real courage”. I am not especially courageous, but I do know how to survive. My MARTA bus ride is a “great adventure”, and I count it as one of the best parts of my day. I regularly meet people I would not otherwise have a chance to meet, and I think I am better for that. You might try “broadening” your horizons.
Ahhh, Decatur Democrats and Republicans. Two cultures coexisting within four little square miles, separated by a shared deficient sense of humor…
Wait a minute! Did you say there’s a Chi Chi’s in Decatur? If only that were true. Forget gentrification when we can have salsafication via authentic Midwestern Mexican American cuisine! Now excuse me while I go fry some ice cream…
I rode the MARTA train from Downtown to Downtown (Decatur to Atlanta) and back for years and loved it. I miss it. Rarely felt unsafe. Worst of it was the occasional rat sighting ont Five Points tracks. Nowhere near as death-defying as riding the NYC subway.
That’s it. Mr. B must be moderated and banned from any further attempts at humor. Sometimes you just gotta leave that to the professionals
