... and anyone who wants to come with me is welcome!

I've had enough of the 21st. It sucks! The 21st century has nothing on the 20th. So you've got the 'internet'. We were just getting around to it, and we were doing just fine in 1999. Nobody knew what the hell Al-Qaeda was, and our biggest worry was that 'the planes would fall out of the sky' when our computers hit '00' on their clocks.

Yep. What musical artist does the 21st century have that could hope to compare with the best and brightest of the 20th? You 21sters are off to a slow start, let me tell you!

And how about politics? We were still debating 19th century economics in the 20th, I can't see you 21sters coming up with anything better!


I'm building an Iron Curtain between December 31st 1999 and January 1st 2000. We're going to party like it's 1999 forever. You can keep your damn 'reality TV', Iraq II (the original was much better), and 00's 'music' (if you can call it that...).


Who's with me!!??

Works for me man.

Works for me man.

I'm happy that you broke your 3000th post for this. Brings a tear to my eye...

Actually, he had 2999 here, then made a W00t 3000 post thread.[/downer]

I'll keep my 21st century thank you very much.

I'll happily trade my 20th for your 21st too.

No. It's a bad idea. You are looking at the twentieth century through rose tinted glasses. I can only assume this is because you are not old enough to remember how bad it truly was.

I suggest you spend the weekend watching brat pack movies, 'classic' saturday night live and listening to Dire Straits; then get back to me.

Personally I'm going to the 22nd to see if the world is still there.

...Oh yeah...I've heard of that before...didn't they, like invent the wheel or something then?

Now that I will go for!

If you are familiar with the brat pack movies, 'classic' SNL, and Dire Straits, I dare you to find anything post 1999 that's better...


...okay, never mind...


But there's plenty just as awful, if not worse.

Worse than Stalin, Hitler and Tienamen?

Now that I will go for!The capsule only holds eight, so reserve your spot, quick!

Worse than Stalin, Hitler and Tienamen?

Oh you have a whole century to get worse than them...

Oh you have a whole century to get worse than them...



*begins contimplating*

Oh you have a whole century to get worse than them...
We wont <optimistic>

We wont <optimistic>


Curiosity killed the cat, but Optimism.....*insert something here*

But there's plenty just as awful, if not worse.

Oh yes. But the difference now is that people no its crap and have stopped pretending. So it's not nearly as bad on a daily basis.

It's easy to dismiss the brat pack now, because, well, no one in their right mind actually thinks that movies are cool anymore, but back then people would actually rave about the breakfast club and how it 'spoke to them.' Fucking nauseating it was. Plus, every gobshite owned Telegraph Road, and would prattle on endlessly about 'how great it is to make love to.' BARF.

And we had to pretend that molly ringwald was hot. (Yes, that actually happened).

Srsly, apart from Gina Gershon, there is nothing fucking good about the century. You are far better off now.

Well, it's a good thing I have a time machine. I'm off for a couple of zzz's, and I'll see how many people I can cram into my Delorean in the morning.

I'll warm up the flux capacitor after a cup of joe.

but Optimism not only killed the cat, but backed up and ran over the cat again.

I wouldn't mind it being 1999 again too. The 20th century had some of the best TV shows, now it's just all crap.

Okay, you had me up until admitting that you think Gina Gershon is hot. You're not allowed in my time machine.

Scoot.

Worse than Stalin, Hitler and Tienamen?

Or Working Girl.

What about me??

See, that's how bad it was.

You dig the idea of the 'family sitcom'. You're in.

Better brush up on your Street Fighter II moves. It's all the rage on that side of the wall!!

No, I've never had that much hair, even when it wasn't receding.

Okay, I've said too much. I'm curling up into the pull-out bed in the back of the time machine. Take some time to say goodbye to your loved ones, cause tomorrow's a brand-old century.

Meh, love ones are for loser, comon let's return to MTV's Celeberity Deathmatch, Invader Zim, Pinky and the Brain and Bill Clinton!

...Pinky and the Brain and Bill Clinton!

You make a strong arguement.

I'll give them ten more years to get flying cars in production. Then I'm outta here. :p

But Pink Floyd was actually Pink Floyd in the 20th century!

I'll give them ten more years to get flying cars in production. Then I'm outta here. :p
*throws protosoma in garbage and begins protohovercar*

I'll give them ten more years to get flying cars in production. Then I'm outta here. :p

We already have those, it's just not in MASS productions. I believe they showed it on the Mythbusters when they were trying to bust the personal jetpack myth.

I think this is it.

Sign me up!

Sign me up!

You're in!

Of course, now I have 6 people to cram into the DeLorean, plus there's one guy who wants to go back to the 19th. Have to oblige them.

Might have to transfer my flux capacitor to something with more seats...

Maybe a time-travelling Bus or Camper?

Would I need more than 1.21 Gigawatts of power to compensate for the extra material going back?

I see that there are at least 5 people who've never heard of me... I'll have to do something about that when I get back to the 20th....

... and anyone who wants to come with me is welcome!

Who's with me!!??

I'm waiting for 21XX, myself...

Hey I'll go back to when a gallon of gas was only $1.75. Sign me up!

I would go back to 1968: after the sexual revolution and before AIDS. Hooray!
