Cave Men Were A Surly Bunch
No surprise there. They didn’t have much to be happy about, since almost nothing had been invented yet. Nothing that we think of that usually makes a guy happy. No cars, no sports, no TV, no beer. It’s a wonder Cave Dudes didn’t just jump off a cliff to end [...]

The First Official Long Weekend
History tells us that Labor Day originated in New York in 1882 to create a day off for the working citizens, and they installed it on Mondays. This became so popular (duh) that it was made a federal holiday a few years later, 1894.
The End of the Summer
That’s usually what it [...]

There Were Always Dogs
Of course there were. Cave Dudes, Cave Babes, Cave Kids, and Cave Dogs. The nuclear Cave Family. Except it wasn’t.
This Was Before Pets
It was also before table scraps (tables hadn’t been invented yet, so how could you have table scraps?). Even back then, dogs were pretty smart. They saw no point in [...]

Life Wasn’t Easy
Cave Men were pretty macho guys. They had to be tough, what with all the dangerous animals around: Sabertooth Tigers, Woolly Mammoths, and they were always dodging that pesky T-Rex (they weren’t scared, but they weren’t stupid, either, we just think they were because they hadn’t invented college yet).
There’s A First time for [...]

Get In The Pit With The Pitmaster!
You’ve gotta barbecue on the 4th. It’s a law. Some throw dogs on the grill (to the tune of few million), some go for burgers, steaks, kabobs, chops, fish, whatever is there, it gets grilled or smoked.
Pitmaster Goes All Out
4 pork butts and 2 turkeys, smoked low and slow. [...]

The 4th of July happens every year. That’s a law. And it goes forward in time, and we keep celebrating it every year, with fireworks, usually, and hot dogs and lots of mustard and ketchup.
Cave Men Celebrated, Too
If it happens every year, then it stands to reason that it always happened every year: There was [...]

The Original BBQ
You might think Cave Men had it rough, but they never had to worry about running out of propane. Or being ready to fire up their grill and finding an empty bag of charcoal. If a Cave Dude wanted to cook (or, more than likely, when his Cave Babe told him if he [...]

It Wasn’t A Tie
A Cave Kid wanted to show his Cave Man Dad how much he loved him but he didn’t know what to get. They hadn’t invented ties yet, or socks. In fact, there wasn’t even a department store to shop for anything (shopping hadn’t been invented yet, which explained why Cave Babes were [...]
