    I'm pretty sure that "right here right now" me is the dick, since I have the Goatee.


    It's science.

    Wow, I thought I was the only one with dildos buried in their yards.....so much for my stash against inflation. If I come back from the future, I am SURE I am bringing back stock tips, phone numbers and the secret to life, which I am SURE I will know in the futue.

    Its more my future self that is a dick. I'd come back and fuck with my past self because my future self would be that much smarter.


    And I'm kind of a dick anyway.... this wouldn't end well.


    Or we'd take over the world, two of me would be bad.

    @Log1c: That sounds like fun, but that could have some drastic consequences. As you mess with yourself in the past, you start feeling really insecure for some reason. You feel depressed and have lower self esteem, because you suddenly remember some jerk in funky clothes picked you, and only you to harass.

    He couldn't show up with a lottery number.


    I'd bury that last gift for his dumbass too.

    But wouldn't you know you were a dick cause you were you in the past at one point? I mean I guess I could go back in the past and my current me could be a dick to the future me but I think if that was the case I would call my past self and tell him that the future me was going to visit and to specifically not be dick to me/him.

    @GHETTO.CHiLD: Hindsight is a great deal clearer than how you see yourself in the present. When you were a kid, you might go "Damn, I sure was a rotten little bastard. How did I not catch that?"

    I'm not worried about my past self being a problem, but my future self....


    I'm pretty sure he's gonna be one surly, bitter, get the hell off my lawn old man.


    Not looking forward to that meeting..

    What if you travel back in time to see yourself in the past, and you kill yourself inadvertently because the strains of flu you've gotten shots for the other day prove deadly to people of the past?

    You know, ever since someone pointed out that you have to physically travel in addition to time travel as the Earth is spinning and revolving around the sun, etc... time travel isn't as "enjoyable" as it used to be. I picture all time travelers emerging in empty space, the center of a planet, or in the upper atmosphere of a ice planet. Damn science always ruins science fiction.

    I'd never attempt it because the fear of ending up infused/stuck in an object (like a tree or a llama's ass) is just too great.

    @SWM,30isoSWF_GitEmSteveDave: I don't care about physically being able to travel back in time and meet myself. I'd settle for just being able to pass myself crib notes and cheat sheets for all those 'do-overs'...
