Ever thought about fire?

I was having a really good stake dinner at Morton’s the other night (I didn’t buy, it was a production gift for working my tail off on a recent shoot) and we started wondering about how early man first started cooking stuff.

When they first discovered fire, it must have been like the coolest thing ever. I bet they were running around seeing what they could do with it. Burning shit, lighting shit, cooking! Does this burn? Does that burn? Man, all this shit burns! How cool is this?!?

Really, it must have been, like the first iPhone. I bet a lot of cavemen were running around with fire and then the other cave men… well, they didn’t have it:

“Dude, did you get fire yet?”
“Nah, man. I'm cool with this rock.”
“You totally have to get fire. It’s so fucking cool. It like interfaces with a cow and you get steak!”
“No shit?”
“Totally! And you can like go so far into caves now. Just spark up a torch and you can see shit.”
“That is soo wicked.”
“And check this out, if you take your fire and light some of those crazy-ass weeds near that dead mastodon, you can fucking smoke that shit!”
“Smoke? What the fuck is that?”
“You are so far out of the loop, bro-ham.”
“Fuck! I gots to up in that fire shit!”
“That’s what I’ve been saying! You gotta get the ha-zook up, dude!”

Of course that conversation would have been a series of coughs and phlegm-riddled grunts because language had yet to come along, but you get the picture.

Fire. How cool.



One down. Nine to go.

Maybe this is where the term "playing with fire" came from. I know that if they played with their new toy as much as you do that iPhone, there were probably some very blistered fingers in those early days.
