The Howdy Doody caveman.

Neanderthals had red hair and freckles. (Maybe.)

(Can somebody Photoshop an image?)

ADDED: Combine:



Ah, there's this:



ADDED: 2 images, from Palladian and Lordsomber, respectively:



I love the complete contrast in mood.

Obviously you never met Ron Howard's brother.

Come on Palladian, my man, now is your chance to show her a little bit of that complicated love you have for her. Else Chip will beat you to it. And I can assure you, Chip's love is predictably unencumbered, simple, and easy.

I love the pensive caveman--it's like he knew all along.

Bender R म्हणाले...

Well, if they had Gingervitis, it is no wonder why they died out -- inherently evil, having no souls, and unable to walk around during the day. Of course, apparently there were a few Daywalkers, since a few have survived to the present day.

"Neanderthals had red hair and freckles."

They still do.

wgh म्हणाले...

No need to Photoshop when
this is disturbingly available in real life.

Palladian म्हणाले...

Is that first guy the Neanderthal Jack Benny?

Henry म्हणाले...

No photoshop, but here's a haiku:

Alas Le Penseur,
red headed neanderthal,
it sucks to be dead.

chickelit म्हणाले...

He looks more like Rhodon's "The Thinker"

rhodos = red
get it?

Bissage म्हणाले...

No photoshop but here's a limerick:

There once was a caveman named Doody
Had red hair and freckles all rooty
Said I gots me a club
And I just ate some grub
Now it’s time to go gets me some booty.

chickelit म्हणाले...

I think Trooper York was on to something with his reference to Ron Howard's brother Clint Howard.

Like to see a "childhood" photo?

Have some Tranya!

cardeblu म्हणाले...

I think the Neanderthal kid looks more like a not-too-distant ancestor of Rupert Grint, aka Ron Weasley.

Roberto म्हणाले...

Speaking of Howdy Doody...

Even an emerging crisis in the Middle East, one he pledged to resolve just 13 months ago, has not drawn President George W. Bush from his final vacation before leaving office. Despite his personal pledge at Annapolis last year to broker a deal between Israel and the Palestinians before 2009, this weekend Bush sent his spokesmen to comment in his stead.

Since departing Washington for Crawford on Friday, President Bush has made no attempt to be seen in public. In fact, he has yet to leave his ranch.

Excellent link, chickenlittle.

Truly excellent.

@ Michael: Are you secretly Spike Lee? Surely no one here will tell anyone.

I feel like in the pre-reading for my job in a department of hair chemistry I had to read something about how hair developed on the heads to protect the new less tree-ensconced standers. Maybe the light sensitive ginger neanderthals were a necessary variation, just like apes baldening too far.

Matt Eckert म्हणाले...

Michael always hated Howdy Doody because it reminds him of what everyone says when he shows up: Hello shithead.

heywoot म्हणाले...

Mr. Eckert - I must admit that comment made me laugh. I was about to leave a "go away troll" blast, but you handled the Michael intrusion in a much more clever way. Thank you.

Unknown म्हणाले...

Well, Matt's half right. With Michael nobody bothers with "Hello".

Unknown म्हणाले...

But on topic, no wonder the Neanderthals went extinct. Everyone knows gingers get an unfair share of bullying, so if an entire species is stuck with it, damn!

Chip Ahoy म्हणाले...

I have wondered why we think of Neanderthal as having gone 100% extinct. Is it not possible their genes have become mixed as per Jean Auel? It seems to me she had it about right. I see a few Neanderthal types, just say'n.

My take on Howdy Neanderthal.

TitusLastofTheFamousInternationalPlayboys म्हणाले...

That Picture of Carrot Top is frightening.

He is gross...and he shaves his queave.

Meade म्हणाले...

Palladian, you are the man! man.

Chip Ahoy म्हणाले...

This is fun.

the howdy doody song is going to be with me all day now-

"Buffalo Bob: Say kids, what time is it?
Kids: It's Howdy Doody Time!

It's Howdy Doody Time.
It's Howdy Doody Time.
Bob Smith and Howdy Do
Say Howdy Do to you.
Let's give a rousing cheer,
Cause Howdy Doody's here,
It's time to start the show,
So kids let's go!"

and of course, there was the peanut gallery-

and clarabell (bob keeshan at first)-
