Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for February 28, 2011

Marcus: I forget - who are the people in all these pictures? Alice: Those are the before people, or a I call them, the pre-Alicians. They attended Blisshaven preschool in the long ago dark days, before me. See how primitively they're dressed in animal skins, folded newspapers and plastic bags. Marcus: No they're not. Alice: The backwardness of the early pre-Alicians is hard to believe, isn't it?

The Pre-Alician times were hard times, hard times indeed.

Ah, the relativity of “old”. I recently found a radio station that plays “oldies” from the 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s. The first three I can see, but 1970s isn’t “oldies” – that’s the music I grew up with!! And yet a ten year old would consider anything before 2000 “prehistoric”…

You are right Dry, he does. LOL
Thanks to Alice’s birth she has brought the world to a new found state of enlightenment.

The pictures of the Pre-Alicians (and the early Pre-Alicians) are better evidence of evolution than the fossil record.
