:rofl:

[Xipe Totec]

8. four sheets in the wind?

:rofl:

[Bunny]

2. I would have totally met Craig at almost all of those spots.

He sounds like quite a fun guy!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

3. ~

:)

[mainegreen]

4. I appreciate Craig

[rockymountaindem]

5. That sounds exactly like something a friend of mine would do

But I'm not sure he has the same energy as Craig to put up flyers. Definitely some good humor.

6. K & R

:rofl:

[RandomThoughts]

7. That is so funny and creative.

Its like internet posting in real life on street telephone polls.

:rofl:

I did want to comment on bottom right note, since it regards temporal lore.

In the short story, "Face In the Photo" by Jack Finney 1962, first printed in 1962 Saturday Evening Post (possible different title). And found in "8th annual edition The Years Best S-F" 1963.

The best location for temporal transportation is clearly explained to be the beach. Quite simply land terrain changes either houses or structures could be built, trees could grow, even mountains get taller and shorter.

But a drop onto a beach, is both a soft landing and structure free, for the most part. For longer trips where even the beach can not be guaranteed secure, a drop a few meters out and up, still a soft landing and only a short distance to shore, but a bit wet.

Note: I do not believe in temporal lore, but you may also notice that story also fits part of the idea behind the "Dr Who" Episode "Crying Angels", I got a hunch "Dr Who" writers are perusing old temporal lore stories in sci fi for ideas. LOL, shrug, but who doesn't LOL

37. Okay, about that.

Now, water is still matter, so if we are talking about something like teleporting, where molecules are reassembled, then landing in water could result in more than getting wet, unless you land above water. Some of my favorite ways around that have been 1), a built in displacement device that will shift the materializing object to the nearest available space (which always begs the question of what at the other end could possible reassemble the object, anyway, but it's always assumed the originating device handles that somehow), and 2) a system that takes advantage of some natural set of laws that makes travel possible. The later was done by Michael Creighton in Timeline, where a lab discovered that they could dematerialize from the present time and be remade from completely separate molecules in the past. They claimed, IIRC, that quantum particles once linked but separated by miles of distance would still behave in unison, thus when particles on this end of time were shredded, they would be reassembled on the other end by linked quantum particles, so they would always reassemble in the open. One minor theme in the theory was that they were never sure if they were actually traveling to the past, or whether their actions created a completely separate dimension identical to the past they thought they were traveling to.

Oh yeah, and the signs were cool. No idea why I springboarded from your post! :rofl: I'm not even that much of a sci-fi geek anymore.

9. Just one kick...

cause I thought this was pretty good.

[MrCoffee]

10. Too bad, Craig

My cheese kite would blow your mind.

[lazyriver]

17. I bet my cheese kite could kick your cheese kite's ass.

Jalapeno Jack for the body and fresh mozzarella for the tail. It's wicked awesome.

Craig has no idea the fun he is missing.

[Arugula Latte]

28. Haven't we had enough cheese kite flame wars? Sheesh.

Don't make me get Skinner.

[MorningGlow]

11. OMG I love Craig!

Dude ROCKS!
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Is there a site to keep up with Craig's latest "posts"?

[redqueen]

13. Not that I know of...

his writing style reminds me of this guy who writes for TV in the UK. I did wonder if it was him... haven't heard from him lately though.

[cwydro]

12. A new Craigslist!

[Orsino]

14. A humorist...

...or the world's most idiosyncratic serial killer.

Or both.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

19. it does give reason to pause in light of the current situation ...n/t

[redqueen]

20. What current situation?

[Tuesday Afternoon]

[redqueen]

24. Oh that stuff...

other than the name 'Craig' I don't see any connection at all.

No dates are listed on these posters, so they're very obviously for entertainment purposes only.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

25. no big deal. --

just one of those oddities of life, is all.

[Richardo]

15. I'm envious of people that think of stuff like that.

Craig is hilarious. :D

[Kali]

21. and actually go and do it!

me too.

[NV Whino]

16. The two different colored thongs had me going for a while

Then I realized he was talking about shoes.

[Bertha Venation]

18. "should not include stuff to do with cheese or kites"

:rofl:

Where on earth did you find this, redqueen? What a great laugh for a Monday morning!

[redqueen]

22. Just out there on the interwebs...

most of the stuff out there is bad, very bad. It is, as the person whom this stuff reminded me of said of it... a family-sized bucket of filth.

[Heidi]

26. At Art Basel, they'd call this an installation.

And I wouldn't disagree with "genius" as a description, either. :thumbsup:

ETA: He apparently stole this idea from a New York guy. I am crestfallen. x(

[redqueen]

35. Ah well...

I wouldn't care except it seems Craig didn't even bother with a modicum of creativity in his work. I'd kinda like to compare the two. Todd's note about his mom's mattress seemed less funny to me... not sure why though.

I'd like to think that if he had actually branched out and done new things, that Todd wouldn't mind... but who knows. I still like them.

And hey... at least it's out there amusing people. :)

[Heidi]

36. Me, too.

If not for the originality-in-art thing, I'd _LOVE_ to do something like that here in our deeply Catholic, Italian-speaking state in Switzerland. Nobody goes to jail for anything short of murder here, and I could save up for the inevitable fine, so why the heck not? :rofl:

[Arugula Latte]

27. What's a frozen spatchcock?

This guy is nuts. He should be a DUer. :D

[redqueen]

29. It's a way to prepare a chicken (or another kind of bird I guess)

for faster cooking.

I wish he was a DUer too. I love this kind of humor. :)

[annabanana]

30. OK I am totally a Craig fan...

Almost makes me wish I was in Australia. .

[sammythecat]

31. LeftyFingerPop

fuckin' with the Aussies now.

[Soylent Brice]

32. no delorean??

[Schema Thing]

33. funnyazhelleven!!

[Shell Beau]

34. Craig is one funny dude!

:rofl:

[A-Schwarzenegger]

38. He lost me at "Bring a frozen spatchcock."

You can't freeze those things.
