Time Travel is real?
 

So, my friends have determined that I am living proof of time travel. Not going backwards, however, but rather going forwards. For reasons below they have decided that the 1950's sent me to the present.

Here's their logic.

- I use cash, whenever possible. I have a credit and debit card, but eschew their use as much as possible. I collect my cash by speaking to a teller. For large payments, I use cheques.

- Recently, the truck I got from my dad as a 16th birthday gift finally croaked. It was a 1993 Ford Ranger, with no options selected. I drove it for 150 000km, and just replaced it with a Hyundai Genesis Coupe because it had the fewest number of electronic nannies, and single-push-defeat of the traction control.

- I drive a standard transmission, always. I've often said to my friends that driving automatics just feels like cheating.

- I shave with a straight razor. I used to use a Mach 3, then the Schick Quattro, but then I switched to a "Feather Razor." Thankfully it has a guard so I can't kill myself. But I have been looking into buying a DOVO, without the guard and doing all the stropping myself. The shave is just...better, y'know? Less irritation. Fewer missed spots.

- Apparently it's not common to stand until women have taken their seats at a meal. Also, it's apparently not common to say please and thank you with your waiter/waitress.

- SCOTCH. I lurv me some scotch.


Is their logic sound?
Are you perhaps another person that's been sent into the future?
What do you do which makes others think "Hey now, that's remarkably old fashioned..."

I think it's safe to assume that we've all traveled forward in time.

Smart ass.

So what you're saying is that deep down inside, you're really an old man.

I also do the quoted things... But no one's said a word.

Personally I'm all for the electronic devices in well pretty much everything. However, I do know how to drive standard and very much prefer driving a standard but it is certainly not a deal breaker in terms of a car. I've also been installed with what might be considered old fashioned manners. Essentially everything deserves a please or thank you, holding open doors for people behind you or coming through from the other side, etc. I'm a bit like that new character on Eureka that was a scientist from 1947 and got dragged to the future. I have a lot of old fashion sensibilities but have adapted well to this new technological future.

Of course time travel is real.

I wouldn't be living in the future (Sunday, August 15, 2010) if it wasn't.

Hey now let's not mock Darth SS. it's not his fault he is stuck in the past.

What is this glowing rectangle? And why is pushing these...square things...causing changes in it?

WITCHCRAFT!

I think SS is so boring the things he has listed are the only things his friends have to make injokes about.
