The Neanderthal class of 93, was gathering together at their yearly summer reunion camp. It was their 20th get-to-gether . They had all agreed on a place in the deep woods we now know as South Carolina. Nader, had been their class President in high school; so he was elected leader of the yearly reunion.
Fob was the head chief, he recently killed, and skinned a deer, and was now preparing to cook it on a spit, over an open fire. He got to thinking, “Hope I didn’t forget the marshmallows!”
Nadar wore a bright red skull-cap, and just loved to show off his new rino hide boots. He asked one of the others, “Have we forgotten anything?” Scrapper one of the six toed primates replied, “We have everything here; deer, sausage, veggies, water-melon, potato salad, alligator aid, and beer.”
“Who brought the radio,” Fob shouted. Fob had a funny look to him. He had a very heavy browed ridge; but in spite of his cave man looks, he was a playful sort of Neanderthal. He loved to dance, especially Jungle Disco with any girl he could get his hairy hands on. His favorite movie was “Friday night fever,” starring John (the brute) Revalta.
Bones was about to start the fire, and realized he had forgotten the matches. “Does anyone have a light?” Everyone looked through the Buffalo hide they wore; but none could be found. Bones looked over to Chapped lips his wife, “Go fetch a few sticks, I’ll rub them together and get the fire started.”
They had camped near a rock ledge shelter, one having a horse chestnut tree overhanging it; and a cave nearby. There was a she bears who would come to this place and hibernate in the winter months with her cubs. She was gone now, so there was no danger. Now the cave would give them shelter in case of a heavy thunderstorm, or possibly a T-Rex would come wandering by.
Chapped lips brought her husband Bones two sticks to start the fire with. She told him, “I shaved my legs and chest yesterday, so I’m going to slip into a bathing suit, and lay in the sun until its time to eat.” Bones asked, “What suit will you wear?” Chapped lips said, “The one piece Kangaroo hide; you know, it’s my favorite one!” Bones responded with his deep gurgling voice, and overlapping, upper hairy lip, “I like that one; do you remember when I killed it for you?”
Kibitzer was one Neanderthal that never stopped talking. He had part of his pelvis chewed off by a giant bear, and now walked with a limp. He had a remarkably thick skull, and sported a crew cut. Most of his friends thought he was going bald because the point on his skull had begun to show skin. So now on special occasions Kibitzer wears a lion’s mane toupee.
Scrapper suffered from rickets, was beetle-browed, had a sloping jaw, and was still considered a primate; but he did have a jolly nature. Last year while showing off to his new girlfriend, he took hold of a Saber toothed Tigers tail, and let go just in time to save his hand from being chewed off.
We all laugh about it now! You should have seen the look on his face as the Tiger chased him into the lake. He did lose one toe when he slammed his foot on a rock just before he dove off the 60 foot cliff.
This class of 95, was a closely knit group; their social bonds were strong. Nadar was practicing dentistry, and had recently purchased his first hammer and chisel. He had broken a few ribs last year that never healed right. The bulge they left in his side looked rather funny, but no-one ever commented on it.
He had also lost some of his teeth when a Stegosaur charged him a few years back. Then he got some kind of gum disease, and lost all his teeth; that is, except for the one tooth that remains in the front of his upper jaw. Because of his condition, he decided on becoming a dentist.
When the food was cooked, Bones was ready to call everyone to the tables. He picked up his Duck-billed Dinosaur skull, and blew into one of the nostrils. It gave a low trumpet sort of sound. Everyone knew what it meant, and all came running. Kabitzer asked, “Who wants beer?” Most of the men said yes, but the girls wanted alligator aid.
Chapped lips would always bring a surprise dish. This year it was turnip greens, with crushed turtle shells, and seaweed. Nadar looked funny trying to chew the turtle shells with his one tooth. Well it turned out to be quite a picnic. The food was good, and everyone enjoyed themself. One of Chapped lips friend loved to sow, so she brought her bone sowing needles, and a Mammoth hide. By the time the picnic was over she had finished a pair of jockey shorts for her husband.
As they were packing up to leave, six thick heavy boned, Cro-Magnon teenagers came strolling by. They seemed to be looking for trouble. So Nadar , and Scrapper picked up their stone axes and chased them down the road. You should have seen them run! The only problem these Cro-Magnon teenagers had, was not with Nadar or Scrapper, but with three Raptors they ran into. There was a lot of screaming, and yelling before it finally fell silent. Both Nadar, and Scrapper said nothing when they returned. Other than this small incident, everything went well, and the group is already looking forward to next years gathering.
