Sorry Cheerful, but one's nature is just one's cross to bear (and Moo--going around pissy is just mine :) ). But since you're a friend, Cheerful, I'll try and get you a somewhat darker role in my next Pleistocene epic.

Unfortunately, I now realize that I remember almost nothing about Quest for Fire other than for the woolly mammoths. They had enormous tusks, but when they threw their heads back, you could see that they had been tied onto little stumpy Indian elephant tusks. I may have left at that point. The only character I remember is a Loana of the Shell People wannabe who tries to civilize the boys in the cave by inventing the missionary position (I'm not kidding). We should probably give that role to Neko, since she tends to have that effect on people (civilizing them, I mean).

In any case, Cast Party apologizes that the last feature had to be canceled, and proudly shoves on some cartoon until we can figure something out. Hence:

The Flintsteins:

Fred: We don't really have a Fred anymore. Mongo was our Fred. Where's he off to, anyway? Please don't tell me he's gone extinct.

Wilma: Maneki Neko. Does what she can, but is rumored to be hitting the cactus juice while Fred's at work.

Barny Rubble: Cheerful Hamster. How was that? :)

Betty Rubble: jmcc. The brains behind everything?

Pebbles: Sisserydoo. The Tao of sweet.

Bam-Bam: Lord Farhuz: Empty barrels make the most
noise.

Dino: Stenty the dog. Since his castration, their yaps are eerily similar.

The Grand Imperial Poobah: HPF. Actually cares who's in the club. Decorum ober alles.

The Great Kazzoo: WinterGnat. Frustrated exile from academia. When will he pop out next? "Come Dum-Dum."
