@Cookiemouse #TemporalTues Monsieur Bateleur's Vajrakila

*************************************************************************************
@mrrustymonkey Today on this #TemporalTues, justice comes swiftly! It's 1950.

@mrrustymonkey #TemporalTues, Bab Sullivan's throwing rocks! Then, he decides to throw a brick...& it happened just that quick!

@mrrustymonkey #TemporalTues, Jimmy Tims decided to duck. And wasn't it just our luck that, accidentally, my daddy was struck!

@mrrustymonkey That brick, #TemporalTues, knocked him right off the fence! And the rest of this story... doesn't make much sense?

@mrrustymonkey #TemporalTues, a kindergarten mob carried the bully away. They even tried to hang him, using a bale of hay!

@mrrustymonkey Oh #TemporalTues time machine, we all survived, so we might as well sing...Mississippi

*************************************************************************************
@mrgrasshead: @vonHogflume To get to the other side. Why did the tachyon cross the road? #TemporalTues

*************************************************************************************
@vonHogflume #TemporalTues I'm just back from the Stone Age. I never realized before that the word "ug" could have so many meanings.

*************************************************************************************
@Wendell_Howe I'm currently in 1892 at the luxurious Imperial Hotel in Vienna. Not sure if I would want to go anywhere else this #TemporalTues

*************************************************************************************
@Captain_Zaphod #TemporalTues I have you now @Wendell_Howe I too am at the luxurious Imperial Hotel in Vienna in 1892.

@Captain_Zaphod #TemporalTues Well shazbot! There are 366 days in 1892. How am I to know which day @Wendell_Howe arrived? Howe's eluded me again...

*************************************************************************************
@mrrustymonkey: *pops his monkey head into the twitterverse & declares, "I better take the #TemporalTues time machine before the fail whale chases me away!*

@mrrustymonkey: Today on this #TemporalTues, we're sick as a dog - not feeling so great. It's 1948.

@mrrustymonkey: #TemporalTues, you'll never guess what we've found... Uncle Charles left it sitting around...

mrrustymonkey: a lit smoking pipe #TemporalTues, but we're too young to smoke! Grandmother Grace nearly has a stroke...

mrrustymonkey: ...looking everywhere #TemporalTues for her tiny son - a cloud of smoke drifts down the sidewalk, in front of everyone!

@mrrustymonkey: For years, #TemporalTues, they'll share this story with me...how daddy smoked a man's pipe when he was only 3!

@mrrustymonkey: Oh #TemporalTues time machine, pass that peace pipe while we sing...Pass that peace pipe

*************************************************************************************
@meredeth: i want to go to ancient athens and see the birth of democracy~ #TemporalTues
*************************************************************************************
@familytreeuk: 1838 - Just had a run-in with Sir John Conroy. He can't last much longer here. #temporaltues

*************************************************************************************
@blanghinrichs: 1962 NYC - #temporaltues Does somebody hear a baby crying? Wait, that must have been me.

*************************************************************************************
Wendell_Howe: 2657 - I can't believe all this work! At least it's Tuesday. I can take a #TemporalTues break tody, eh? Temporal Tuesday

Wendell_Howe: I'm glad to see #TemporalTues is already off & running. Lost Symbologist is still lost. Lost Symbologist (Poor chap)

@Wendell_Howe: 2657 Cambridge - It's 4:00--tea-time! I'm taking a break. Hmmm, where would I go for #TemporalTues?

@Wendell_Howe: I know! I would go back to 2000 & tell Stephen Hawking he's wrong about time travel. I wouldn't even have to leave campus. #TemporalTues

@Wendell_Howe: Stephen Hawking argued if time travel is possible, then where are the time travelers? Simple. We are trained to blend in. #TemporalTues

@Wendell_Howe: It's not like Stephen Hawking never did a little "time traveling" himself. Hawking Plays Poker with Isaac & Albert #TemporalTues

*************************************************************************************
Captain_Zaphod: #TemporalTues Mourning the loss of Klaude from @clockwrkcabaret. Traveled to Jan '08 reliving their 1st broadcast to try & cheer up. :(

@mrrustymonkey: *sticks his monkey head into the twitterverse & says, "Yes, this is a good time to take the #TemporalTues time machine!" *

@mrrustymonkey: Today on this #TemporalTues, we're wondering what to do? It's 2002.

@mrrustymonkey: We retired #TemporalTues - shut everything down! And now, we're looking all around...

@mrrustymonkey: wondering #TemporalTues, which direction we'll turn? Is there a project for us, something new to learn?

@mrrustymonkey: Oh #TemporalTues time machine, for a while, we'll just soak up the sun & sing... Soak Up The Sun

*************************************************************************************
@SarahEGlenn: Great Exhibition, 1851. I'm visiting on the advice of @Wendell_Howe, who assures me that they have indoor plumbing. #TemporalTues

@SarahEGlenn: London 1851: I must buy a ticket to get into the Crystal Palace. Hmm, women pay less. Sexism pays off for once! #TemporalTues

@SarahEGlenn: London 1851: Charles Darwin attended the Great Exhibition. If I spot him, I must tell him about his Awards. #TemporalTues

@SarahEGlenn: London 1851: I understand Mathew Brady got a medal for his daguerreotypes. Does he have a display? #TemporalTues

@SarahEGlenn: London 1851: Looking for Bakewell’s “image telegraph”. Stop directing me to the kitchen appliances exhibit! #TemporalTues

@SarahEGlenn: London 1851: The line is long to see the Koh-I-Noor. Better visit one of the Retiring Rooms first. #TemporalTues

@SarahEGlenn: London 1851: It costs a penny to use the “Monkey Closet”. The first ‘pay toilet’! I fumble in my reticule. #TemporalTues

@SarahEGlenn: London 1851: For my penny, I also get a comb and shoe shine. The comb goes in my reticule, next to my TP reserve. #TemporalTues

@SarahEGlenn: London 1851: This line to see the Koh-I-Noor is enormous. Worse than Space Mountain at Disneyworld. #TemporalTues

@SarahEGlenn: London 1851: Darn 27th century tech… no good for making the line move faster. I need time-lapse chronology. #TemporalTues

@SarahEGlenn: London 1851: My feet hurt in these shoes. I hate verisimilitude. At least I didn’t do the corset. #TemporalTues

@SarahEGlenn: London 1851: Is THAT what all the fuss was about? Sort of dull… I hear Albert had the Koh-I-Noor recut later. #TemporalTues

@SarahEGlenn: London 1851: Off to the Hobbs exhibit. Knowledge of 19th century locks makes for useful writing. #TemporalTues

@SarahEGlenn: London 1851: What the-? Let go of my reticule! Didn’t you see the guards back there? #TemporalTues

@SarahEGlenn: London 1851: Why did I have to find the only thief willing to pay 3 shillings for the chance to snatch a purse? #TemporalTues

@SarahEGlenn: London 1851: Everyone is watching me play tug-of-war w/the thief. Gendarmes! Leave that lump of coal and help me! #TemporalTues

@SarahEGlenn: London 1851: Time to put my 1970's experience to use... The "Bump"... with a reinforced bustle! #TemporalTues

@SarahEGlenn: London 1851: The bag ripped open and everything tumbled out! Coins, case for glasses, comb. TP rolls away. #TemporalTues

@SarahEGlenn: London 1851: The police arrive after the excitement, in time to hear me use rather unpleasant language. #TemporalTues

@SarahEGlenn: London 1851: The witnesses were nice enough to regather my belongings and return them to me, minus the money of course. #TemporalTues

@SarahEGlenn: London 1851: One of them holds up my roll of TP. “Madam, what is this fabric? It is so fine. What are these perforations?” #TemporalTues

@SarahEGlenn: London 1851: “That came from the Jacquard Loom. May I have it? Thank you.” #TemporalTues

@SarahEGlenn: London 1851: Too much excitement for me. I head for the exit and my own century. Time doohickey in bustle works fine. #TemporalTues

*************************************************************************************
@fangarius: Checking TARDIS 2 to see if the Twitter wormholes are due to the ChronoSpace breach.. #TemporalTues

*************************************************************************************
@blanghinrichs: Darn. I almost forgot #TemporalTues again. Quick, off to Singapore 1920 photo

*************************************************************************************
@Captain_Zaphod #TemporalTues Resumed quest for @Wendell_Howe. 1886, the Univ of Bombay. Unfortunately got distracted by little birds flying off w/ a whale.

@Captain_Zaphod #TemporalTues Planet Vhoorl, before ½ the great temporary stars of history had flared forth, I went & found Cthulhu was quite the party guy.

*************************************************************************************
@scaree Forsooth, 'tis but another #TemporalTues and yet I lack a destination. Methinks perchance, to trip lightly forward & find out where I went!

@mrrustymonkey: * looks around for that crazy contraption ( the #TemporalTues time machine ) thinking this might be a good time to take a ride? *

@mrrustymonkey: Today on this #TemporalTues, we're beyond excited - feeling fresh & ALIVE! It's 1985.

@mrrustymonkey: #TemporalTues, we're unpacking bags in our new college dorm, and everything seems so... out of the norm!

@mrrustymonkey #TemporalTues, it's like the opening curtain before a big show. Dr. Seuss understood... all those places we'll go.

@mrrustymonkey: #TemporalTues, for the 1st time in life ( that we've ever found ) there are others like us, who share common ground!

@mrrustymonkey: Oh #TemporalTues time machine, we dance on our beds in 3rd Clara & sing...Alive And Kicking

@mrrustymonkey: Oh #TemporalTues time machine, we're older now, but we still sing... Simple Minds--live

*************************************************************************************
@blanghinrichs: It's #TemporalTues, we can go anywhere, anywhen. Maybe Wilhelmshaven 1945 to see the cruiser Köln

*************************************************************************************
@Darien_Mason: #TemporalTues A good time to spotlight the emergency timejump of the Bloodwing's Revenge end of the line. #blogfiction

@NoeticSpark: #TemporalTues I am sitting atop a wild flower chatting it up with a bubble bee. It's a timeless interaction; so, pick any date you like.

*************************************************************************************
@mousewords: I keep wavering between past & present tense in this writing project. It must be #TemporalTues - (see @wendell_howe)

*************************************************************************************
@Wendell_Howe: I would love to go back to early 21st century and play the romantic lead in a Bollywood movie extravaganza! #TemporalTues

@Wendell_Howe: I'll be the handsome British Captain that wins the heart of an Indian Princess. (I hope I can dance & sing 4 hours straight.) #TemporalTues

@Wendell_Howe: All right, would I be more believable as the mean English father who won't let his daughter marry the handsome Indian hero? #TemporalTues

@Wendell_Howe: Erm, what if I play a butler in a cameo?... Blast, this is MY fantasy! I'm playing the dashing hero! #TemporalTues

*************************************************************************************
@vonHogflume: #TemporalTuesday In the interests of reducing tension, I report that England are NOT in the football World Cup final. So you can relax.

48th Temporal Tuesday - 1 June

*************************************************************************************
Sunday, 30 May
*************************************************************************************
@ZAmmi: Most of my training involved merely perfecting an American accent, & standard firstaid, of course. Then I was ready to go back in time. #TemporalTues

@ZAmmi: They could have sent an American to New Jersey, but the inflection was different in those days, something a native might get lazy about #TemporalTues

@ZAmmi: Temporal Anthropology was in its infancy & they were terrified about fieldagents being recognised; even on forays into so recent a past #TemporalTues

@ZAmmi: It was like slipping on an old familiar coat, emerging into 1955. Living memory, and not so different to life back home. #TemporalTues

@ZAmmi: I parked my machine, disguised as a Harley-Davidson, beside a soda shop. Bill Hayes was pumping out Davey Crockett on the jukebox. #TemporalTues

@ZAmmi: Wonder if I have time to 'discover' Elvis? I look at the display on the bike's temporal dial-9months too late. Dang. On to the Hospital #TemporalTues

@ZAmmi: A young doctor on a break leans, smoking against the hospital wall. He flashes me an appreciative smile, and I blush, tugging my skirt. #TemporalTues

@ZAmmi: I'm suddenly thankful none of my family lived in the US in the 50s-No chance via dabr of flirting with an uncle! The young gallant gets the door #TemporalTues

@ZAmmi: Confronted by the sting of ether & iodine, I wrinkle my nose. There's little time. I hurry past a laundry, bandages steaming on racks.. #TemporalTues

@ZAmmi: I knock on the door to the private ward. The sister sniffs contemptuously through her aquiline nose as she spots my student uniform. #TemporalTues

@ZAmmi: "Can you speak German?" she asks. My heart yammers "No, why?" "He said something funny just now." Oh no! Am I too late? "Is he still.." #TemporalTues

@ZAmmi: "Asleep? He slips in & out" "Alive!" "Yes, why wouldn't he be?" My breath puffs in relief. "You're not a fan are you?"she scowls "N-no" #TemporalTues

@ZAmmi: "I'm just.. It's my first.. He's so important, I.." The nurse rolls here eyes at my stammers. "This way." She escorts me into the ward #TemporalTues

@ZAmmi: White whispy hair frames a wrinkled face; almost infant-like. Quick mobile eyebrows mark an intelligence not swayed by second childhood #TemporalTues

@ZAmmi: 10 years of preparation, temporal training, a physics pHD; & seventy plus years of speculation shoulder into the room as she leaves it. #TemporalTues

@ZAmmi: I bend over him, to check his breathing. Brilliant eyes flash open, and he grips my arm compulsively. My heart stops in my chest. #TemporalTues

@ZAmmi: I'm touching history! My mind does summersaults. No. History's touching me! No temporal lessons could ever prepare me for this shock #TemporalTues

@ZAmmi: "Mr Einstein?" I ask, breathless. He looks at me, eyes full of revelation. "Gott zeigte mir die Lösung! Sie war schön!" Then he is gone #TemporalTues

@ZAmmi: Unification theory..the holy grail of physics.Did he solve it?Yes.Will we ever know how?Not in this dimension.I sigh &kickstart my bike #TemporalTues

@mrrustymonkey: Today on this #TemporalTues, there's a problem that maybe a child's prayer can fix? It's 1976.

@mrrustymonkey: Our bug collection #TemporalTues, needs just one more to pin. And it has to be extraordinary to win!

@mrrustymonkey: We wonder #TemporalTues, if God actually heard? So far... He hasn't said a word.

@mrrustymonkey: Tomorrow, #TemporalTues, I'll look up to see... 2 big praying mantis eyes staring @ me!

@mrrustymonkey: Oh #TemporalTues time machine, let the lesson of God's love & patience sing. Love Is Like A Butterfly

@mrrustymonkey: @marleyterrier, you can take @Wendell_Howe's #TemporalTues time machine back to any time of your choosing. Come along for a ride!
