    Pretend to be a time traveller day is approaching; December 8th 2007

    http://forums.koalawallop.com/viewtopic.php?t=1719


    Totally pulling the Kyle thing from the Terminator. I have a old army coat, boots, old torn cargo pants... I'll use a bandanna. I should carry around a random picture of someone.. "What year is it? Do you know where this person is!? There's not much time!!" Bawahaha *GRINS* I have a friend who could very easily pass as a cyborg/terminator; emotionless, monotone, ect. This will be glorious.

    What are your plans?

    Since I've already got the question mark tattoo, I'll just go as the Doctor Who incarnation the other incarnations don't like to talk about.

    I'll be from ... December 7th, 2007. And tell everyone I know that I'm from the past, that I traveled in to the future from ... YESTERDAY!

    Hahaha, that's a neat idea... And I thought Speak Like a Pirate Day was odd enough.

    I'll just tell people that I have fond memories of next year's time traveller day.

    BTW where's the option to dress like a British university professor, and walk around like you own the place?

    Awesome, I'll pretend I'm from the past, It will be a neat exercise, since I'm taking drama and acting classes!

    Somehow Star Trek manages to do this from the perspective of the actual people from the 'past' (the present for us and the production itself). Like that episode of Voyager where the crew goes back to 1997 (or what Star Trek thinks is 1997) and Sarah Silverman's character says some rather odd slang like:

    FREAKASAURUS.

    Man, Star Trek is sad.

    I must be getting old cause this is one of the stupidest ideas I've ever heard.

    When is 'Pretend to be a historical character' day?

    On this particular day, I think I'll walk into every restaurant/ diner I pass, and request a "Tab", and then a "Pepsi Free".
