Nekromanti En ny helg som vi missat!

Ännu bättre än Talk lika a pirate day!

Pretend to be a time traveller day

Pretend to be a Time Traveler Day

You must spend the entire day in costume and character. The only rule is that you cannot actually tell anyone that you are a time traveler. Other than that, anything's game.

There are three possible options:

1) Utopian/cliché Future - "If the Future did a documentary of the last fifty years, this is how badly the reenactors would dress." Think Star Trek: TNG or the Time Travelers from Hob. Ever see how the society in Futurama sees the 20th century? Run with it. Your job is to dress with moderately anachronistic clothing and speak in slang from varying decades. Here are some good starters:

- Greet people by referring to things that don't yet exist or haven't existed for a long time. Example: "Have you penetrated the atmosphere lately?" "What spectrum will today's broadcast be in?" and "Your king must be a kindly soul!"

- Show extreme ignorance in operating regular technology. Pay phones should be a complete mystery (try placing the receiver in odd places). Chuckle knowingly at cell phones.

2) Dystopian Future - This one offers a little more flexibility. It can be any kind of future from Terminator to Freejack. The important thing to remember is dress like a crazy person with armor. Black spray painted football pads, high tech visors, torn up trenchcoats and maybe even some dirt here or there. Remember, dystopian future travelers are very startled that they've gone back in time. Some starters:

- If you go the "prisoner who's escaped the future" try shaving your head and putting a barcode on the back of your neck. Then stagger around and stare at the sky, as if you've never seen it before.

- Walk up to random people and say "WHAT YEAR IS THIS?" and when they tell you, get quiet and then say "Then there's still time!" and run off.

- Stand in front of a statue (any statue, really), fall to your knees, and yell "NOOOOOOOOO"

- Stare at newspaper headlines and look astonished.

- Take some trinket with you (it can be anything really), hand it to some stranger, along with a phone number and say "In thirty years dial this number. You'll know what to do after that." Then slip away.

2) The Past - This one is more for beginners. Basically dress in period clothing (preferably Victorian era) and stagger around amazed at everything. Since the culture's set in place already, you have more of a template to work off of. Some pointers:

- Airplanes are terrifying. Also, carry on conversations with televisions for a while.

- Discover and become obsessed with one trivial aspect of technology, like automatic grocery doors. Stay there for hours playing with it.

- Be generally terrified of people who are dressed immodestly compared to your era. Tattoos and shorts on women are especially scary.

And that's it. Remember, the only real rule is staying in character and try to fit in. Never directly admit you're a time traveler, and make really, really bad attempts at keeping a low profile. Naturally, the dystopian future has a little more leeway. And for the record, I've already tried out all of these in real life, in costume. It is so much fun you want to pee yourself.

Missat och missat... Jag var medveten om den, men gjorde (tyvärr) inte heller i år något av den. Man läser ju Dresden Kodak, för fasen =)

Nå: Jag tycker att den är felplacerad. Jävla jänkare - 8:e December är det för kallt för att göra mer än vad man måste, och allt blir liksom svårare att "pull off" i snömiljö.

Som du missat, kanske [NT]

[Sodivra]

Ha! Vadå missat! Hahaha!

Jo, nu när krank och Dnalor har gjort det så måste ju jag också göra det: Svira med hur jag minsann känner till den här högtiden!


...inte för att jag faktiskt låtsades vara en tidsresenär då, så....

Däremot kan jag bidraga med en filmupptagning över senaste PtbaTTD. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEtVGsV2EcQ Länken har förstås redan varit uppe på Dresden Codak, men vad tusan.

och allt blir liksom svårare att "pull off" i snömiljö.

Om du bor på en ort som faktiskt får snö på den 8:e december så kan du ju falla på knä i den och post-växthuseffektuellt utbrista "Snö! Jag trodde det bara var en saga! Ahahahaha! *snyft*"

Re: Ha! Vadå missat! Hahaha!

OK, alla känner till den. Enda sättet att rädda min heder tycks vara att åka tillbaka i tiden och låtsas vara en tidsresenär före alla andra.

Haha, en strålande idé inför nästa år.

Jodå, den 8:e var här snö och svinkallt. Man ville inte röra sig utomhus om man slapp.

Yehepp, där ser man ja..
Känns som det är populärt at hitta på lite olika mysko helger & sådant.

Re: Ha! Vadå missat! Hahaha!

Fast å andra sidan så firar jag bara Kiss a Terrorist day

Coolt. Vilket datum är det, den måste jag ta med i min kalender!
