If you could go back in time...

[domshooter]

would you, first of all.

then if you did, anything special to see, experience, witness?

personally id go back to either the 20's, to see if i could get into the mob/booze running biz or at least meet Capone.

or the 40's, to either witness or take part in the war.

and yea, a thread like this exists, but its from '06.

well ladies and germs?

I'd go back in time to when BlueBalls was conceived. I just HAVE to know what spawned him, you know? I HAVE to.

Also, I want to see his mom's boobies.

 

[domshooter]

or you could spawn him yourself, WHILE seeing his moms boobies.

PARADOX!!!

I would like to go back to the 1880s and follow the development my hometown decade by decade to the 1960s.
Other than that my timetravelling would only have popcultural reasons.

November 1963. Tell JFK that it's not a good idea to go to Dallas. He'd rather go fishing instead.

The jazz clubs on 52nd street in New York in the mid40s or the rock clubs at the Sunset Strip in the 80s for example.
I could probably go see the Rat Pack too.

I'm more interested in exploring different dimensions/realities (i.e. Sliders)

But, if I were to use time travel, I could use it to solve a lot of unsolved crime cases.

Living the life as a gentleman in Victorian London wouldnt be bad for a while, obviously avoiding the poor and needy and men in top hats who like to kill prostitutes, but apart from that...would be good. Then just seeing my favourite bands at their peak mainly Dylan with The Hawks in 66, then in 75 with the Rolling Thunder Revue and a 70's show with The Band

I'd go back and 'invent" the Snugee. Than I'd make a throne built out of gold bars and laugh at anybody who buys one. Or maybe I'd go back to 1942 and "invent" the AK47 for the US military. Just so I could come back and buy a semi-auto Colt M42 or whatever it'd go on to be named.

The real answer is that I'm happy with right now. Any fantasy I have about the past would be ruined by the reality of it. Ancient Greece would just be full of smelly people spending their days doing tasks we now consider easy do to technology. If I went back to witness Genghis Khan, I'd probably be killed, taken as a slave or I'd die being on the run from mongols until I die.

Even if you could go back to some ancient time and be seen as a God due to your modern age knowledge, the women would all have hairy legs and a full bush and the food would be ghastly. We have it pretty damn good here in 2009.

I'd go back and put a stake through Jesus' heart so he stays dead.

I'd go back to last Wednesday. I thought I'd run out of biscuits to have with my evening cuppa but found a pack of chocolate hobnobs in the cupboard. What memories! Happy days!

 

[lechepicha]

would shut the fuck up!

my tongue has get me in a lot of trouble...

THINK BEFORE YOU TALK, YOU IDIOT!

 

[domshooter]

ive actually always thought what would happen if you went back, while taking weapons from any war to the one directly before it. for me itd have to be an American war, and American weapons

say, WW2 to WW1.
or hell, Gulf war to Vietnam.

imagine the possibilities. the lives saved etc.

So basically you want to work for criminals or be a soldier? You can do that without going back in time!

 

[StanScratch]

Watch Larson's perfect game.
Watch the Beatles play on the rooftop.
Watch Satchel throw a few pitches to Josh.
Watch Lindy take off and land.
Watch Apollo 11 blast off and splash down.

Well, we have one dick and one mouth precisely because those two things can get you in trouble faster than anything else.:2 cents:
