Grrrr.
“Don’t sex-growl at me, jackass.”
Can’t help it. Good picture. You look like an experimental novelist who won the MacArthur Genius grant.
“Y’know, it’s creepy when a compliment is that specific.”
You’re the one wearing the artistic glasses.
“These are neat, aren’t they? Got an owl thing going on.”
Where’d you get ’em? A little hippie shop? Old lady find ’em for you?
“The Oliver Peoples in the Short Hills Mall.”
GodDAMNit, I need you people to stop using the Time Sheath to go shopping.
“Fuck off. I’m a firm believer in the free market.”
I don’t care how libertarian your economic philosophies are, they don’t include skipping ahead a few decades to find accessories.
“Ah, stuff it. It’s not like I’m going back in time and stealing Old Masters from the Nazis.”
…
You’re doing that, aren’t you?
“Yes.”
Why?
“Fun and profit.”
How do you profit off of that? They’re stolen paintings with no provenance.
“Easy. I steal the art, find out who it belonged to, jump back a few decades or whatever, and sell the paintings to their original owners.”
Ow.
“What?”
You just gave my brain a toothache. I hate trying to make sense of time travel.
“The math works out.”
Oh, don’t bring math into this. What did math ever do to you?
“You know what’s some real good cash? Titanic memorabilia. Stuff actually from the ship.”
How does a Time Sheath get you thousands of feet underwater?
“It doesn’t. It gets me on the ship about an hour or so before the iceberg.”
Why don’t you warn people?
“Because then the stuff wouldn’t be worth anything.”
Sure.
“Dummy.”
I’m beginning to regret giving the Grateful Dead a time machine.
“Beginning?”
So Mr Bob Weir had a 70th birthday a few days back. Want to go back and wish him a happy birthday?
He didn’t wish me a happy birthday.
Phil kinda looks like Peter Fonda there
or Paul Kantner?
Agreed
knew 2 brothers whose Mom bought them transitions. this was a Canadian Mom thing, by the 2 brothers transitions. the younger one said “stop copying me!” a lot. which likely happened with Phil & Paul.
Hakim Optical you get transitions with any Aviator Style frame. you also get:
a Restraining Order (with Weekend Pass from Millhaven).
Pack of Belvedere Lights.
Subscription to Variations.
Musk-scented Soap on A Rope.
Bikini Briefs.
Ford Fiero key fob.
or a Pontiac Pantera key fob.
It seems Phil splurged on the transition lenses.
Were they a thing in 1969?
EDIT: Looks like photochromic lenses were invented in the 60’s.
I’m still learning how to reply properly
Really eh? Just like the microwave oven and VHS tapes they didn’t reach Canada til the 1990’s.
For some reason, I have abandoned the code of Without Research on this one and have actually looked into it. They got popular in the 90’s because the scientists figured out how to apply the process to plastic lenses, so they got a lot cheaper. Before that, the photochromicizing only worked on glass.
Entertaining and educational!
Also Delicious and gluten free
it’s chipot-lee, eh?
