If you were given a time machine to go to any place in time, where would you go?

Back to the Middle-Ages where I would get chased by a Dragon and captured by a guy with pink hair and meet my long lost mom and on New Years Eve I would..........what was the question again? ;)

Hey, why does that sound familiar...? :confused: Well, whatever book that came from, I bet it was pretty good. ;)

PS- Hey, Tag couldn't help it; it was funny. :p

It wasn't a good book, it was a GREAT book! I can't wait to buy it if and when it's actually published....I'm gonna be the first in line! :p

Anyways, Tag should learn better than to laugh at me! The machine was eating my money, and that's not funny......but getting kicked out of the arcade was! :D


Also, I really would go back to the middle-ages......I just wouldn't want to get caught. People might think I'm a witch.

I'd make good on the promise I made in English class and go back to Victorian England to beat Walter Pater to death with his own horrible, horrible writing.

There, or any era with a riot. There's a lack of rioting in my life.

I'd got to either 1995, where all the things I seem to like emerged, or to 1950. Yay



1995= one of the last years that Nickelodeon didn't sellout, and had QUALITY programming

I'd go forward. Waaaay forward, to see how the world turned out. Is going forward in time legal? Otherwise, there's no specific time period I'd want to go back to. Maybe the 50s or 60s to pick up some vintage guitar gear, nothing else seems to pop in mind.

Watagashi
02-07-2002, 06:25 PM
Yep. Going forward in time is legal, too. :p

Watagashi
02-07-2002, 06:30 PM
Yeah, I would like to go to the future as well. *Cough: 3052 ;) :Cough* For the same reasons except for wanting to see a few other people. *Coughs loudly, but forgot what was supposed to be said in between the coughs, so stops abruptly* You know, mercenaries, pointy-eared pacifistic people, etc.

02-07-2002, 06:41 PM
Yeah, i now what you mean. *cough*Tucker*cough*

Watagashi
02-07-2002, 06:44 PM
*Throws a creampuff at atari, but misses and accidentally hits Sumi in the head* Don't say his name; he'll do the same thing he did when she saw his face! ;)

atari_14
02-07-2002, 06:54 PM
sorrry!!! man i absolutly do not what to be in that problem. And stop throwing creampuffs at me look at what you did to Sumi. Heh!! i said stop.

Danielle
02-07-2002, 07:01 PM
I'd better not stay long; you guys seem to be catching a cold. ;)

Where would I go? Probably back to WWI.....there's this guy I've been itching to destroy....... I'LL GET YOU YET, RED BARON!!!!!!

Sumi_Masen
02-07-2002, 07:07 PM
Don't be so mean to me.....I'll get somebody *cough:Tag:cough* to kill you all, and if he refuses......the result will be me beating him up like I did the whack-a-clown game! :D

atari_14
02-07-2002, 07:14 PM

Sumi_Masen
02-07-2002, 07:17 PM
That's not fair :mad: I'm the ONLY one who has the right to call Watagashi, Wat :mad:
I forgive you Wat....... :p

I'd go back to the 80's and stop myself from foolishly opening all the MOC/MIB Gi Joe and Transformers stuff I had collected back then when I was a kid!

atari_14
02-07-2002, 07:29 PM
Sorry, Sumi. Watagashi than.

Sumi_Masen
02-07-2002, 07:32 PM
:mad: You better be sorry you dirty ape......oh wait, LOL, that's me :rolleyes: Okay! I got a new one! I want to go to the future and steal a pair of high powered shoes that give me the BLUE power!!!!!

02-07-2002, 07:34 PM
I would go to the day Action Comics #1 came out and get all the mint copies I could lay my hands on and go back to my current time and sell them for a killing.

Watagashi
02-07-2002, 08:39 PM
Not the blue power! :eek: NOOO!!!! You are SO gonna get in trouble with your nephew for that one. ;) Oh, how I miss *sniff* the eighties... :( Aw, who am I kidding; I was still trying to learn my ABC's during that time. :D

Hee, hee, hee. Sumi got hit with a creampuff. :D

atari_14
02-07-2002, 08:45 PM
yeah you threw it at her!!! and no it wasn't 80's day @ school.

Watagashi
02-07-2002, 08:49 PM
But Tacky Day reminded me so much of it! :(

atari_14
02-07-2002, 09:19 PM
Yeah, but it's not the 80's, ok. oh, did you see Alison. man was she takey.

Watagashi
02-07-2002, 09:21 PM
Oh, Yeah! :eek: But we better get back to the subject, here. So, when else would you go? :wakko:

atari_14
02-07-2002, 09:27 PM
i'd probally go back in time to the old west. It sounds cool. And i think iwould go back to the middle ages to see if there really were Dragons.

Sumi_Masen
02-08-2002, 06:46 PM
I don't have a nephew........oh wait, yeah I do :o silly me!
uhm, I'd also go to the time w/ pirates......I'd become one, and TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!!!!!!!! ;)

Calhoun07
02-08-2002, 07:49 PM
If you wanted to take over the world, you could just go back and buy into Microsoft stock at the very beginning and come back to today's time and find yourself a billionare.

I always wondered about things like that, tho. Say I went back in time to buy a new car when a brand new car was like only a few hundred dollars. I could pick me up a classic 50's car and bring it back with me in my time machine, but when I got back to today, would I find that there was a warrant out for my arrest for all the unpaid taxes on that car over the years?

Sumi_Masen
02-08-2002, 10:16 PM
That's a good idea :p I'll take over the world yet!! :D
Beat that Spades! ;)

Watagashi
02-08-2002, 10:26 PM
Which Spades are you talking about this time? Do you not like Rachel or something?

My top three times to go:
Middle Ages
The time during the pirates
The year 3052 :D

Sumi_Masen
02-08-2002, 10:33 PM
Rachel is cruel.......and the King of Spades RULES!!!! But, of course, I'm a whole lot cooler than him. :p

Watagashi
02-08-2002, 10:39 PM
HUH?! :eek: Rachel is cruel?! THE KING OF SPADES RULES?!?! Did you run into a fake portal or something?!?!

Oh, well. Better get back on topic, though. :p

Sumi_Masen
02-08-2002, 10:42 PM
What was the 50's like? I'm talkin 1550? Did anything interesting happen then?

Watagashi
02-08-2002, 10:44 PM
Uh... I think that was in the Rennaissance Period or maybe a little after. :confused: I don't know anything else about it, but that.

Sumi_Masen
02-08-2002, 10:48 PM
huh, they didn't take too many baths back then, did they? No, I don't wanna go there.......I might die of not being able to wash my hair... ;)
What about 1850?

Well, any time before electricity was in homes was a time people didn't wash their hair too much, particuarly in the winter time. That's why hats are so en vogue back in the olden days. I understand that people actually put corn bread in their hair to keep it clean. But in the winter time, washing anything would be a certain way to literally catch your death.

I would go back and stop the third TMNT movie from being made. :D

I used to think that if I ever had a time machine, I'd go back and correct my own mistakes. But right now, I feel a little better about the mistakes I made, and like I might as well just leave them. Like all of those time-travel stories try to tell you, sometimes you're better off making mistakes and learning from them in the long run.

I'd have to go back through time and try to figure out some mysteries about evolution and Jesus. And also travel to the future to see what happens to myself and the human race. Meet some interesting historical figures. And also use it for my own financial gain.

I'm looking forward to the Time Machine movie in March. It looks good, and I enjoyed both the book and the original movie.

i'd go back to the 1950's bring some money and I'll buy profitable stock and baseball cards. :)

People put cornbread in their hair :eek: ? Huh, that's interesting.......I still don't want to go back to that time......I wonder what 2050 will be like?

Corn bread or corn meal. I forget which, actually, but it was one of those. I took a tour of an old Victorian mansion up in Wisconsin once and learned of it then from the tour guide.

Sumi_Masen
02-09-2002, 02:53 PM
I never knew that.......how'd it keep their hair clean?

Jowy Blight
02-09-2002, 06:08 PM
Oh yeah, I would also go back to a time were it would be possible for me to take over the world. :D

{shrugs} Could be. My grandmother used to put lemon juice in my mother's hair... (then again, that's fairly common...)

Perhaps the cornmeal was liquidated?

I'd go back in time and stop TRL from being created.

Back to the smartass who thought:
*Hmm, maybe things would be better if I started a movement and called it 'poltical correctness'*

So I could introduce him to the genius who thought:
*Hmm, I'd like to set people on fire, but I can never seem to get close enough or get them to hold still*

God bless the early Byzantine miltitary strategists.

I would go back to the summer before I started high school and have a long talk with myself. There are a lot things I should have done differently. Without a doubt, I'd use a time machine to straighten myself out.
