If you had a time machine...

... and you could go back to anytime anywhere on earth, where would you go and what would you do?

I'd go back to...

- 1920's Chicago and dance in flapper dresses.
- Ancient Eqypt and walk like an Egyptian.
- Japan in the 1940's and be a geisha.
- 1950's California and see Elvis in concert.
- 18th century London, not sure what I'd do there yet.
- 19th century New Orleans and hang out in the French Quarter, listening to jazz and going to voodoo rituals!

I would also...

- see Jeff Buckley in concert.
- probably a whole bunch of other stuff that I will most likely add later.

i would go back in time and kill bill gates just before he launched his first operating system, then sell the idea as my own and be rich, rich i tells ya!!

 

Ok, should have made some rules...

1. You can't do anything for personal gain.
2. You can't bring anything back with you.
3. You can't change the present.

booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

HAHA!

definitely with you on that one!! RIP 

-see the race riots in early 90s america (dont ask me why, it would just be a fucking amazing experience, well ANY riot for that matter)
-see the birth of rave/jungle
-go to a 70s disco
-go to an 80s rollerdisco
-fly on a concord
-pat a dinosaur

 

I would go back to the early years of Hollywood and hang out with Errol Flynn, now that was one cool dude. Then me and Errol would head back to Roman times to eat grapes and have orgies with virgins.

damn straight! I always say i was born about 10 years too late!!! studio 54 ftw!


showing my age but that was my teen years! had my 13th birthday at skateline modbury! (which incidentally is now my nan's church! ha ha!)

Ohhhh, man I wish I could go back in time. I'd take state. No doubt in my mind.




....go to that Smashing Pumpkins gig in 1996.
....go see Jeff Buckley.
....push Meg away and tell her to get fucked.
....not have taken five at once Australia Day.
....go with Lesley and Michelle to hang outside the 1995 Pearl Jam concert that got stormed at War Memorial Drive.
....see Daft Punk again.

  why not? what happened?

use your imagination

I'd just keep going back and see them over and over... 

You'd be Jack the Ripper of course 

- I would not have fought with the people I have
- Gone to woodstock
- Gone to the Janet Concert
- I would have not gone out to open sea Australia day on a smallish boat



Cant think of anything else

AAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!



*stab stab stab*

- go to the 1800s caribbean to catch up with my creole folk - as well as louisiana in the 1800s, before they hopped in the covered wagon ow yeah!
- hung out with my mom when she was in a sorority at Oregon Uni
- gone to see THAT smashing pumpkins concert in 1996 (with ya there, kurko!!)
- not gotten with the absolute loser twat in 2003!!! :stabstabstabstab:
- gone out and raved proper, just once, at teriyaki when i was living in melbourne
- checked out the marilyn manson concert in 2003 when i was in vancouver
- fast forward to the year 3000 to see what its like *imagines meeting deckard and pris or maybe even the highlander, in the 2nd movie *
- checked out the original glastonbury and woodstock festivals (specially to see janis joplin and jimi hendrix!)
- gone back to the 70s and hung out with p-funk fellas! woo!

You really know how to spoil people's fun, don't you Lexy?


Well, it's impossible to go backwards in time and not affect the present. Even simple observation has an impact of the outcome of an event. What will most likely happen is an alternative present will form from that moment in time and when you go back to the present it will be changed in fundamental ways, except you won't actually notice because they will always be a part of your past...


But I'd go back in time and do things to freak out modern day archaeologists. Like give Iron Age people things like coke bottle cap necklaces. Graffiti walls that I know will be dug up years later with weird messages like "Darth Vader is Luke's Father". Paint weird shit in caves, like a picture of New York in Outback Australia.

I'd also go and re-write all the religious texts to make all the "7 deadly sins" permissible and acceptable.

I'd also write them as if I had Torettes Syndrome: "And cuntfuckbooger God said "HeyNonnyNonnyGerrsuuup! Let There Be Light!" And cuntknockerfudgepacker there was mothersucking light."

if only the bible read like that!! nice one

i would....

go to the haight asbury district in san fran, 1965 - drop stuff and join in on stuff and marry bob dylan

go to portland, oregon in 1991 to see hole and babes in toyland live

go back to high school and give people hell! (i get to go to my 10 year high school reunion this year, so perhaps no time travel is needed!)

go to early 80's + when new wave began, and rave started to appear 

that's a good one! i'd see joy division, and even the pistols at that gig where everyone from tony curtis to the dudes from the buzzcocks were in the audience (only 30 people there or whatever) and then i'd zip forward to see new order and the happy mondays at the hacienda!!!!!

yeah, actually, i wish i was born in 1945 so i can catch everyone from the beatles, to the sex pistols, to new wave, the riot grrrrl movement, to rave!!! 

I'd zoom into the future to find out the truth about the future of Adelaide's dnb scene

have always known the answer to this question. Straight to Woodstock without a shadow of a doubt

For starters I'd go back to 1982 and stop my parents from having my sisters

You can't change the present!!!!


I think I would like to go to Woodstock too.

If I had a time machine i could do anything i wanted!!!
And that would def be the first thing I would do!!! For my parents sake of course

If I had a time machine I'd be Dr Who, with a robot dog and a beautiful sidekick... we'd fight evil aliens and save the world... except we're not allowed to change the present 

i thought dr who was pretty careful about changing the present??

wouldnt it be cool if they had a female doctor!!!! hmm who would they cast...

Yes but if I was Dr Who I wouldn't care about changing the present.... I'd especially change lexy's present 

Cate Blanchett should be a female Dr Who!

... or Amy Winehouse... she'd be like a a female Tom Baker with a giant scarf 

CATE BLANCHETT!! awesome idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

id go back to the year 1955 and make sure my parents fall in love at the enchantment under the sea dance

I'd go forward in time to whenever it is I go home and see everyone I love and miss, then I'd go back in time to now so I can continue on the funs.

I'd also go back and see Non Intentional Lifeform perform live.

I saw them cant remember where tho, fuck that was a while ago...

Formed in 1995, broke up in 1998.

Ah yes, Indyfest 500 Adelaide uni, 1998.  NOFX headlined from memory

I'd go and do the generic time machine thing ... Tell myself not to do certain things and to avoid certain people.

Would also go to a Bowie concert ! And go to the BDO a few years ago when KoRn played.

Autoinfanticide.

For those who don't know what that means I would go back and kill myself as a baby. It would be interesting to see how this paradox would unfold.

There are many things I would like to do but most of them would involve changing the future, such as destroying all religion in the world, although I doubt this would be possible, as idiotic people would just invent new fairy tales.

I would also like to go to the dawn of time. (If there was such a thing).

I would like to see Jesus perform tricks such as the miracle in my avatar

I like your style : )

The dawn of time ... that's when Lister jump started the Big Bang !!

No shit. I used to love NIL.

call me shallow... but i'd use it to score some really fucking good e's!

no doubt.

It's funny how the similar sounding System Of A Down became mega successful several years later but NIL were tiny even in Oz...

Uisce was a sick album!

Does anyone know of they had anymore releases, I believe that was their only one?

apparantly that was their second album...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-Intentional_Lifeform

No. Uisce was their debut/only album.

Air Left Vacant was just an EP.
