AAAAGGGGgggggghhhh!!!! My-my T-time machine!!! It’s going out of control! *gasp* I’m nether going backwards or forwards; I’m going sidewards. My gamma neuron poszometre’s off the roof. The ӕther generator has reached maximum power, but I’ve lost all control!! Where am I?! Oh my god, what is... what is that?!? *whimper, whine, babyish cry* deep breath now an another AAAAGGGGgggggghhhh!!!!
It’s ripping open a portal!!! Oh no oh deary god!!! Oh tousers!!! There’s a breach in the space time continuum, (whatever that means). I’m looking directly into a portal into another world! This maybe the most important discovery in the history of mankind. For I have discovered A PARALLEL  UNIVERSE!!!

I was playing chess with Chthulu, and then some random victorian gent in a machine starts popping in and out of our landry room. Make your mind up, you are disturbing the shoggoths!

And I have to disagree on that one. Post 105 merely contradicts itself and creates a paradox.
EDIT: And why do I EDIT my posts when I can timetravel anyway?

Indeed post 105 contains highly valuable information. I can not agree with myself when I'll post the previous post a few minutes from now.

EDIT: By the way, the moon mission is sped up, and the first man returning to the moon will be in 2016, by the Japanese space programme.

Shook hands with Lovecraft, wonderful man that one...

Only problem is trying to avoid him twenty-nine years from last tuesday, when they hooked up his brain to a holographic manipulator. Have you any idea what shoggoth breath smells like?

An amusing incident has just occured. I was just composing a post here which I thought was going to be the most sublimely inspired piece of work I'd ever done, when a future version of myself appeared in the room, slapped me round the head with a fish, told me that I would regret posting what I was  writing, corrected some seven spelling mistakes and two factual errors that I had made, saved me from a libel suite, did the thing with the fish again and vanished back whence he had come.

Now that I've had a moment to review my piece, I find my future self to be perfectly correct. The content of the original post was shallow in the extreme. An asinine miasma of childish jokes, poor spelling, bad grammer and out and out lies about several prominent people in politics and the media.

Now that I've deleted it and replaced it with this account of events, it only remains to go back and set things right.

So, now where did I put that fish?

Thank you Helios,

Yes, now I come to think of it, just yesterday a previous future incarnation of myself arrived and put it there. When I asked him what that was all about, he said that I would know when the time comes.

Never mind dear: just pop back a month and you'll be two weeks ahead of schedule.

Honestly, it works.  Sorry, worked.

Well that's more tha na bit disturbing. I suppose this is more fitting to the third world war/first interplanetary conflict but I'll let you be the judge.

*posts picture of late colonial/early terraforming attempts on mars*

This... wasn't supposed to happen for another century. Did i miss a readjustment meeting or do we have to send someone to sort out the timeline again? I suppose we really should let this one stand because i can't se any harm done, and everyone here seems so HAPPY.


Wat a tic. That's not happy, that's Mind Control! Tesla. Mind if I borrow your terrawatt special?

Next time anyone is in a parallel dimension, check up to see if the planet is known as Neuwt, if so please give a bold "Halloo!" to my friends and family.
I can no longer time travel as my machine stopped suddenly between dimensions, inertial movement caused me to rocket through the void at a speed faster than the speed of light which initially caused a small hydrogen and helium mass to form and become superpowered, thus creating the universe, but excuse my ramblings, I'm sure you don't need to here about that story, although the possibility of eternal youth never used to appeal to me until said event...

Hey folks!
Just went back in time and made the schematics for the machine from the moving-pictures event known as 'Back to the Future' fully functioning and realistic! Of course you'll remember it being that way from the beginning, I just invented the 'Flux Capacitor' to throw people off, it really means 'a small Triple-A lithium battery', now get those supplies ready and get building!

An impromptu affair organized by Dr Hastings and myself!

CLASSIC TEMPORAL TRAVEL DEVICE SHOW AND CONVENTION!!!

Bring your Time Machine, whether a Classic model, a Souped Up Hot Rod, or just a Jalopy You're Proud Still Runs!

Show 'em off!  Going on right now in the empty lot across from the Smoking Room!

Parking available there anytime, to allow for various temporal calibrations (commonly known as Time Zones).

Bring pics, schematics, descriptions!  Any you are willing to share!

In honor of the current fashion for environmental friendliness, alternative fuel systems are encouraged, however, if you visit the Smoking Room across the street be aware that the gentlemen do usually smoke there, so bear in mind the safety of anything you bring into a smoky or incendiary environment.

It'll go on for the duration of (and is contingent upon) members' interest.

All the local 'Yoofs' have just got into this one and are holding meet-ups in the car park of local pub.

The noise is terrible. All those Turbo-charged Eon drives revving up at all hours of the millennium

Not to mention the music.

The sad truth is that they have not yet learned enough discrimination in their trans-temporal musical tastes to realize that a Joe McElderry/Max Bygraves remix is never going to work without a Baroque Counter-melody and some Shawms.

Still, they've got to learn somehow, I suppose.

Beh.  Anyone who's too disruptive will get a one-way ticket to Antarctica.  I'm well familiar with the way there, and also well familiar with the techniques of sabotaging and/or disabling Time Travel Devices.
