Masticate with Extreme Prejudice October 16, 2007
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is a terrific book. A translation of the cave-wall diary of caveman "Hal," it details many aspects of his daily life and the society of five million years ago, give or take a week.
With chapters such as "Clothing: Sometimes Back Hair Just Isn't Enough" or "Medicine: Trepanning And Ritual Mutilation For Dummies" there is going to be something everyone can relate to.
No, I have no personal reason for references to back hair and medical care. No reason at all.
For the author's sake, I hope the book does very well. I also hope the car insurance advertising people have either a sense of humor or a completely gecko-centric view of copyright infringement.
My only criticism would be that the book seems a bit short -- but that's not unusual for humor. This is the sort of book that you want to make last... but at the same time, you don't want to put it down. Maybe I just read too quickly.
The more things change . . . September 28, 2007

the more things haven't changed much in the last 5 million years - though, maybe, there's less dung in the furniture.
Funny all the way through, Mr. Graham's latest is a quick romp through the lives of our distant ancestors which, strangely, seem to mirror many of the concerns of modern-day life. From political disputes, environmental concerns, and religiosity to interior decoration, fashion, and family life, every aspect of Paleolithic life is touched on (who knew "[b]lue makes tyrannosauruses really, really angry.").
If nothing else, the resulting mental picture of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad being used as a mastodon's Q-Tip is well worth the price.
Me Like Caveman Book September 12, 2007

Steve H. Graham's latest effort, "Keep Chewing Till It Stops Kicking" is another truly funny book. The premise of the book is that it's a translation of newly-discovered pictograms left by Caveman Hal in his cave home in Chicken Bend, Arkansas. He offers insights into the caveman way of life: "I can't say enough about dung. Building material, artistic medium, hair dressing, condiment...dung does it all." He also shows us the spiritual side of caveman life: "Dirt worshipers -- or 'Dirtarians' -- think the earh is our mother, and for a time, they even called it by a woman's name: Louise. I think I would have gone with something more clever. Like 'Dirtrude'. But nobody asked my opinion."
Buy this book. Read this book. But don't drink fizzy liquids while reading this book. Those bubbles really hurt coming out of your nose.
