You too, fool, (but not fellow).

Those crazy homo erecti! I wish i could club people. Maybe i should join the police. There are a lot of idiots and stupid-looking people who deserve to be clubbed. However the people i would like to club usually ARE the thick skulled variety so it would be like trying to date them or something... got to re-think my strategy? How does running them over sound? :smile:

Running over them might work, or you could teach them algebra at gunpoint. The latter may give some results (hopefully), otherwise result to first suggestion.
 
LOL. I suppose it would be satisfying to watch their brain explode as they try to contemplate using letters instead of numbers...Then to make sure they are goners, ill run them over.

(this is important because not all of these idiots have a brain...just the brain stem with a tumour which produces 'fight hormones' which are different from testosterone...)
 
They would probably make a very futile attempt to learn (i.e. x^2 - x = x) or wonder if pi is food.

LOL!

Just don't try dragging us off by the hair back to your cave. That really hurts!
 
Proof that this practice continues!

Recently a friend commented that he was going out clubbing that night! This was stated within a sexual context.

So if he were to do some clubbing (of other guys) in a club do you think that this would double the effeciency in impressing the ladies? (Oops just realized I'm not in the ask a stupid quetion ...)

Well I suppose since I am one (girl that is) I can say the answer is, probably not. However Monique,Jimmy, and MacTech did demonstrate an interesting twist showing the efficiency of the clubbing for the (supposed) victim for gaining female sympathy so there may be hope for this technique yet.
 
I would definitely go for the "clubee" as opposed to the "clubber".
 
Yup given the choice I too would have go for the "clubee", or on the other hand perhaps the tall, dark, and handsome brazilian stranger standing by the bar who was appaled by it all. Yup I thinks that's my favorite outcome:wink:.

Sorry guys you'll just have to come up with a new technique.

Ooooh, I like null's outcome even better!

Why are you on the internet at 3 a.m.? GO TO BED! (I'm telling Mom!)
 
So, the anthropological truth may be more like:

Two homo erecti are sitting in a bar. First one says to the second one: "Wow! Ya see that babe who just walked in? Quick. Whack me on the head, and act mean.!" Second one says: "Sure, dude. Just don't forget you owe me."

Shouldn't that read "whacky Homo Erecti"?

So, I think we've proven here that natural selection favors those who are repeatedly beaten over the head. Explains a whole lot about the current condition of our species, don't it?

No, that would just make him doubly appealing. Better to "acciently" spill your drink on him (those brazilians are proud of their clothes) so that he loses it and whacks you first.

Lurch, I think you're absolutely right. The thinner a guy's scull, the easier he goes down, and the more the women go for him. Thus Nature selects the smarter, (sapiens) thinner sculled, "clubee".
 
If you guys would quit whacking each other in the head to get our attention, maybe we would quit thinking you act so BRAIN DEAD a lot of the time!

edit: not you, Ivan dear! You're DIFFERENT! :wink:

Yeah - what a waste of time when you could just easily distract us with something shiny!

Good job turning that one around zooby, the brazillian turns out to be a superficial pretty boy and a brute, good to see some brain cells have survived the repeated clubings

Oh, I don't practise this courting technique myself. I'm there, behind the bar serving drinks, and on those nights when the "clubbers" have been dragged away to jail, and the "clubbees" have succumbed to their wounds and been taken to the morgue, I'm what's left to comfort the bereaved, tender hearted gal.

Or you could just whack the "clubbers" and "clubbees" and take the women for yourself... Just say the "clubbers" were trying to rob the bar and they already clubbed the "clubbees" to the ground.

I have one word of advise for you, Motai: finesse.
 
Just one problem. The women have all become disgusted with all the males clubbing each other and left the bar.

This entire situation seems like a modern day "stone age" way of "attracting" women. In the stone age man could club woman and drag her off to cave. In modern times, he does the same but drags her off to a bar. Then when other males get near his territory, a battle starts (complete with ugh's and miscellanious grunts) as they both whack each other with sticks and whatnot. The females recover from their unconsiousness and walk away.

As true as it was back then as it is today.

Best thing they can do for the men, really. Otherwise they'll never bother to rethink their strategy.

Because there is nothing quite so smooth as a zooby in a polyester leisure suit (or perhaps a formal, evening polyester tux) offering a lady a martini and a sympathetic ear :wink:! I didn't even know zooby's were allowed in clubs.
