Two wonderfully delicious items have rolled onto my web browser today and I would feel
sickened to my very core were I to simply
not tell you what they are before I head out for the weekend.
Firstly, I've just discovered via
Dinosaur Comics a rather stupendously brilliant idea - December 8th is apparently
Pretend to be a Time Traveler Day, which is a simply
magnificent idea made perhaps a little easier by the second item, that being that
the De Lorean may go back into production in the near future. It's conjured a rather dazzling yet expensive plan in my mind involving buying a DeLorean in time for December 8th and then spend the day driving around in suitably quasi-futuristic clothing, going up up random people and shouting, "You've gotta come back with me! Back... to the
FUTURE!"
And then getting arrested! Fun times.
EditI was going to wait until Monday to share this, as I am about to embark on a weekend involving no less than
one mountain, but to not do so would perhaps be sacrilege. Through that very same Pretend to be a Time Traveler Day
thing, I have discovered a rather fantastic webcomic by the name of
Dresden Codak, created by Aaron Diaz who actually suggested the Time Traveler day. It's fantastic, a sort of mesh of geek humour and pure, bloody-minded randomness. It's
XKCD meets
Truck Bearing Kibble meets
VGCats, only that description doesn't really do it justice.
Marvelous stuff.
