robinblokeIt is 8:33 Monday 29th October 2001.
I am sitting in my office
It is approximately 57 days, 15 hours and 27 minutes before Christmas.
THEN, why why why why have I just heard a thrice bedamned 'jingle bells' tune playing in the office.
Marketing, it's the evil of the world and they start earlier every year!
Currently Christmas is advancing, every year, similar to continental drift, at the alarming rate of approximately 1 week per year further away from Christmas itself.
Currently it is approximately 8 weeks prior to christmas itself. Assuming a similar proportional movement of Christmas drift over the next few years;
By 2009, Chrismas decorations will be sold at the end of August
By 2041, Festive santas will be walking the streets in January collecting for the Christmas to come.
And by October 2100 Pre-buy bargains for the yuletide of 2102 will be available in shops worldwide.
And there it is.
It is my firm belief that Chrismas factored in with the newly discovered mystical physics prospects of the pool table will be crucial in creating a time machine.
Since for pool tables, physics - as we know it - does not exist.
You just know what I mean, take a shot - any shot - or just watch me playing pool and you will observe that for pool tables physics is something that happened to other people.
My current plan for a time machine is to suspend two pool tables in Christmas, rotating around each other. This will then allow you to travel back in time to any previous Christmas in history.
Makes sense to me.

Date: 2001-10-29 05:02 am (UTC)I do know in January I saw several adverts trying to flog christmas hampers for the upcoming christmas and they didn't fade away until Febuary. Then they started up again a few weeks ago and I still scorn them as being the tackiest commericals I have ever seen. I bet they purposely spend huge amounts of money to make them that tacky too.
Don't know about the Time Machine thing, I've never thought that much about pool tables. I'm sure I could probably come up with my own theory if I gave it enough thought that involved 2 pieces of moderate length string, a few springs (undetermined number as of yet), a ping pong ball and some random sparkly thing to keep people amused whilst doing all the time hopping.
MULTI POOL-TABLE ANTI PHYSICS FIELD GATE!
