Maybe, but AOL is the anti-christ...

Well, that's because you are a pinhead.

Way to go 2J!!! Next time tell him that if his mommy had homeschooled him, he'd have a real job...

Once, she said, I told myself a joke...and then laughed hysterically...all the while fast alseep.

My Mrs. told me that I once moaned in my sleep, "my back hurts..."

She said, "What did you say?"

"Back. B-A-C-K. Back."

Sounds like everyone's doing an alt. universe or time travel thing.

Yes, but I'm trying to decide what the method is for my character's travel. He doesn't really travel to an alternate universe, but he travels in the same space as a "different" person (he's the only one that knows the truth).

And I think, even though it's the same place, that when he travels between the two time is not affected in the other. I think it will have to be that way for him to keep up the charade.

If this weren't so serious I'd make a joke about it.

Yeah, our local talk radio guy this afternoon had someone call in about the scene in The Jerk where the sniper is after Steve Martin. Then the DJ keep saying (or playing) the phrase, "He hates these cans!"

It's a very funny part of the movie. But right now I don't find it amusing.

Ummm...he has these ruby shoes, see, and....no wait

Someone he met online gave him a Feadog that turned out to be a space/time conduit....

He fell off the toilet...cracked his head, and had a vision of the Flux Capacitor?

Yeah! Something like that!

Did you notice in that movie that the Libyans drove a white van?

Well, I was thinking one of the "portals" might be in the men's room...

Speaking of portals, have any of you read any of Katherine Kurtz's Deryni series? It's been years since I've read them but they used a system of portals for point to point movement.

Do you mean he sort of "wakes up" in someone else's head? That's one of the well-established ways of alternate universe travel in fiction. Or is the universe changing around him and he's the only one who notices... oh, dear, this comment is more relevant to Bear's idea than yours, isn't it?

Ok, maybe your guy... has two bodies? Or maybe a time machine so he can live the same moment over as a different person?

Oh wel. Three weeks from today, it begins!

I think that's it. He knows what he is doing and somewhere behind it there's a purpose. He's not just playing politics, but there is a greater cause. I just need to figure that part out...
