I’m not sure who exactly came up with this, but apparently a new holiday is on the scene.
Pretend to be a Time Traveler Day.
I think I could get behind this celebration, except for all the paradoxes it might produce. December 8th is the day, and here are the rules and options.
Rule #1- You can’t tell anyone that you’re a time traveler.
Simple, huh?
There are three time periods that you can pretend to be coming from. A Utopian future, a Dystopian future, and the Past. Each has costume options, and the creators of this unique holiday have provided a few tips for spreading the joy.
For instance, if you come from a Dystopian future, you could:
– 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.
– 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.
This might also be a great time to shave your head and get that tattoo you’ve always wanted. Any other ideas?
I see that smile.
