Saturday Open Mic
DJ had an idea (imagine that) for a good open mic discussion.
If you could get into a time machine right now, where & when would you go back to and who would you want to meet?
We Scour the Web, so You Don't Have To!

With a flower in my hair.
What about you Deej? It’s your topic, where would you go?
1990 so I could play golf with my Dad again.
rikkochet I hope not but Id still hit it
Wow Jonco, I’m really surprised by the number of people who have regrets and want to go back just a few years to change things…to say “I love you”, to punch someone, to avoid a bad marriage or two. I guess I don’t have the deep regrets like that, except maybe to try to do some things differently to save my own marriage, starting about 10 years ago. But maybe that crash was for the best, I just don’t know yet.
I really thought people would go back way farther to meet famous people, witness historical events, etc.
I think I’d go back to the mid 1770s in Boston. I’d love to have met Ben Franklin, Tom Jefferson, Thomas Paine, John & Abigail Adams, and the rest of that bunch.
Or the 1800s to meet Abe Lincoln at any point in his life.
Or maybe to Australia around the year Bitsy was a high school senior…
I would meet myself in 1995, and tell myself to buy Yahoo and Amazon as soon as they went public. Then sell in January 2000, and then use all of the revenues to buy Amazon again six months later.
Tom, I think Jesus would sit down and have a beer or two with you. He often got in trouble with the religious rulers of his day for being a partier. In fact His first recorded miracle was changing water into wine at a wedding.
DJ,
Yes, I am a little surprised at the answers, but I think they’re great. I shouldn’t be surprised at anythnig here, but these people contantly amaze me. Good work class. Everyone gets an A.
Geez this is fascinating. Thanks Jonco.
I wondered if you would have gone to Perth all those years ago Deej. I was slim in my senior year and in hindsight not a bad sort! Sorry you missed it! 🙂
I would go warn George and Barbra Bush to let it run down her leg and Save America’s and the worlds future
you guys chatting this morning?

OK we’ll get you in…stand by…
First, I’d race bach to ancient Egypt ahead of Infidel and sell tickets to his shag session with Nefertiti. Then off to my own session with Raquel Welch, when she was about oh, lets say 35.
But, what I think I’d really like to do is go back to March 24 1981, the day my oldest was born and spend the next 20 years or so erasing the unnecessary negative and critical things I said to he and his brothers when they were growing up. I’d replace those things with encouragement, positive words and actions. In essence what I’d do is send the maturity I have as a 49 year old and insert it into the 21 year old man/boy I was then.
Lastly, I would be able to say “I love you son” as easily as I do now.
I’d go back and spend more time with my son when he was little.
Gary I would do Raquel Welch today DAYUM I might have to flip her over and go in for seconds
I rather go to the future and see if we still here or immolated ourselves..
I’d go back to Columbus’s birth, and strangle the bugger. the world would be so much better off!
