If you had a time machine that only worked in reverse...

How far back would you go, and what stuff would you take along?

The idea hadn't occurred to me before I read this, but I'd go back to
five minutes before you posted this and take a handgun to kill you with.

Not out of any particular aggression or hatred toward you; just to
create a fun paradox.

You bastard! Here I was thinking of all the fun things I could do, and
now I have to go back five minutes before you thought of that and load
your gun with blanks.

Now I'll have to have had to have gone back and killed you five minutes
before you would have otherwise left to have tampered with my weapon.

This is tedious. Call it a draw? The verb tenses are a bitch, too.

They're even worse in French. OK, now that's settled I can start
thinking of where to go. I don't want to go too far back or there
won't be any antibiotics or deodorant. Maybe Dallas 1963, but with
time machines available, that grassy knoll would be awful crowded.
I suppose I could try and take out Hitler, but that probably wouldn't
change much. Another one would just spring up in his place. Hitlers
are like that. Maybe I'll go back to 1960 and start a rock and roll
group. I could call it The Beatles!

I'd go back to about 0 AD/BC, and go watch the doozers building the mounds
along the Scioto and Ohio Rivers. I'd take along a "Bob" effigy pipe stuffed
with 'frop, because they were apparently toking near-death tobacco, and I think
they could do some better with 'frop.

I'd go to next week BUT (and this is the clever part) I wouldn't do it until
the WEEK AFTER NEXT! I'd bring a clean pair of underwear, in case I
stepped out in front of a bus or a tiger or something.

No, no, no, no, wait a minute; I changed my mind!

I'd go back to 1975. I'd want a penis at least twice as big as the one I
had LAST TIME I was fifteen, for sure. I'd study hard this time and just
say 'no' more often. I'd bring today's Wall Street Journal and a heightened
appreciation for my classmates' mothers.

I'd go back to ancient Greece and destroy the collected writings of

No, take out Plato. He was worse, he was responsible for more nonsense
than anybody since somebody collected what we now call the Old Testament
from dribs and drabs of nonsense.

Better yet, take a mini-nuke along and take out Jerusalem
just after the fanatics arrive from Babylon thanks to Cyrus the Mede.
That would save a lot of people a lot of trouble.

No matter what you do, you just make matters
worse. If you take out either of them, you
end up with hundreds of thousands of British
schoolboys indoctrinated with the works of
any number of horrid Greco-Roman sods:

This makes the British Empire even freakier
and nastier than it was. In some cases, you
history-tweakers, then it STILL IS.

Besides, as part of our planetary dehumanization
project, we've already eradicated thousands of
these smarmy bastards and reduced the merehumes
from well over 18 billion to about a third of
that. If we try to jigger it any more we start
losing those priceless and irreplaceable Yeti
chromosomes.

Ah yes, a self-reflective moment:

What if you like get yourself really drunk at some
dive bar, then take yourself back to your place
with the idea of "looking at your etchings." But
once you're inside, you become another person, with
a wild, crazed look in your eyes. And as much as
you try to resist, you tear your clothes off and
throw yourself across your bed, giving yourself wet,
sloppy drunk kisses as you start to scream "No! No!"

But it's too late! You whip out your engorged and
throbbing cock and shove it into your mouth, making
you gag. After minutes of choking and gagging as it
is rammed down your throat to the hilt, you suddenly
pull your disgusting filthy dick out of your mouth
and spurt an enormous load of hot spunk all over your
face as you collapse backwards on the bed, trying to
catch your breath.

But you're not done yet! You roll yourself over and
pin your arm behind your back. Now what could you
be doing, you think? And then suddenly you realize--
Oh No!--a moment before you shove that still rigid
prick right up your asshole! You almost pass out
from the pain as you ram that sucker in and out, over
and over again! But your body seems to have a mind of
its own and in the middle of the brutal ass fucking
you suddenly start to have an explosive orgasm! You
really turn into an animal at that point and start
ramming that vicious cock so deep that you think it
will tear your ass in half. But you don't care, your
ass is on fire and you are coming like an animal. A
disgusting, filthy animal. Coming over and over again.

Then, with one final shudder, you pull out. Looking
in the ceiling mirror at the disgusting crumpled heap
on the bed you just feel repelled. What a pig. How
low have you sunk to fuck something so grotesque?
You think back to when you were in high school. Man,
you were a hottie then, and a real conquest if you
could so much as get a hand job out of yourself while
at a drive-in movie. But nowadays, thinking about the
old and wrinkled bag of blood and shit you just fucked
makes you want to throw up. Saggy everything that will
just lie there for a while then start weeping and you
will finally gather your clothes together and catch a
taxi back to the bar.

(I guess this works for either one or two of you.)

This whole thread -- when it began, I started trying to think of
something clever, but Vertigo had already posted it, and better anyway.
(I didn't Just Say No enough.) And I thought, oh man, this thread has
the potential to turn into a KEEN SCRIPT... for SOMETHING... IF I DON'T
FUCK WITH IT! I just had that feeling. I watched it grow day by day,
without looking at any of the posts. Watching it RIPEN. I could SMELL
it. My reward would be reading the whole thread at once, during The
Culling.

I was right!

But then/previously, some alt.slack LURKER read it, and went back in
time to make "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure," god damn it.

No, you could only travel FROM now TO the past. That past would then
become YOUR Now. OH, now I see what you mean. That's cute. Because YOU
would no longer CALL it "the past, " it would be your new Now. That's
not what the question was about, but it is a CUTE way to answer another
question as if it was the one that had been asked.

Right, no thinking, just turn the Cute knob up to 10.

Speak for yourself, my friend. Bob Dean does not "worry" me and I don't
"hate" the other retards, not even in quotes. They certainly do bother
me, but not in the way one might think.

What I hate is how the Church of the SubGenius sometimes DOES make some
people's heads explode in just the WRONG WAY.

It FIGURES that something created by "Bob" would do that, sure. But my
worry is that it'll just get better at doing that, unleashing three
permanent assholes for every one True Beautant it temporarily inspires.

Oh, it's not really THAT BAD, it just SEEMS that way on my end, when I
open alt.slack and there appear to be these HUMAN OPEN WOUNDS festering
here and there on it. Believers who short-circuited when they saw Part
Two of "Bob's" Important Message, and their Part One Parts got
infected. Grosses me out.

However, last night, using my time machine, I sorted ALL the a.b.s. art
from November to Now, and separated out certain categories, and today
I'm gonna go through it one more time to prep it for SubSITE and also
pick which ones to use for which CD covers. Believe me, while I'm
slide-showing through all that unbefuckinglievable artwork, I won't
feel surrounded by kooks and fuckwads. I'll feel like the luckiest son
of a bitch in the Dobbstown red light district. Sort of like on the
days when I sit down to throw an Hour of Slack together from the killer
shit that spews out of a.b.s. like from a murderously diarrhetic
firehose. Or the days when I deposit the swag $. Heck, even devivals
and X-Day Drills have become FUN, even for ME, because we've gotten so
good at nonviolently driving the worst assholes away, or at least into
"alt.slack woods" for the duration.

Plus, the sick cruel 12 year old boy part of me ENJOYS watching these
yoyos get all agitated. It's only the nice kindly patient
grandpappy-like 50 year old part that shudders in horror at them. In
fact sometimes I've been known to agravate them when I really
shouldn't. But to tell the truth, alt.slack can get kind of boring
between kook-rashes, and in my OWN assholiness, I deliberately poke
them. Nobody's perfect. (( Cue Dwight Frye "Renfield" laugh.))

For my part, I still maintain that I myself am merely an average
hard-working B-1 Level Kook like most SubGeniuses, PLAYING a B-4 Level
Super-Kook for religious satire product sales purposes, and not an
actual B-3 Level Kook masquerading as a B-1 playing a B-4, as some
paranoid people would have you believe. At least I'm PRETTY sure of
that. I may be an Emergentile, but there's nothing wrong with that.
"Bob" loves the Emergentiles too. If fact if it wasn't for us
Emergentiles, the Rewardians would have all starved to death and died
out centuries ago. But then we Emergentiles would have had no one left
to fuck, but each other.
