About LinkBacks...and could time travel, where would you like to go?
The obvious answer for many may be high school. All the cute girls you were affraid to ask out. You know, the old "if I only knew then what I know now" thing.
But seriously. I always thought that colonial America would have been fantastic. Say 1700-1800 would be cool.
How about you???

I would have used the flux capacitor to go back to 9/10/2001 and would systematically take out each and every one of the murderous scumbags that caused 9/11.

I would go back to 1969. I would bet on two huge longshots, the Mets and the Jets to win their respective championships. I would then take all my winnings and buy Berkshire Hathaway at $64.00 per share.
Currently $88,620.00 per share

Yeah, I'd like to see the trouble I'd be in when a 38 year old man starts hitting on the high school chicks..... Originally Posted by Dave1983

My dream — and I hope you don't find this too crazy — is that I would like the people of this community to feel that if, God forbid, there were a fire, calling the fire department would actually be a wise thing to do. You can't have people, if their houses are burning down, saying, 'Whatever you do, don't call the fire department!' That would be bad."

I think, as crazy as it sounds, I would like to go back to WW2. I would like to believe that maybe I could have been as brave as many of those guys were when I was 17 or 18 years old.
I have a tremendous amount of respect for what that whole generation accomplished.

I like the Capt's idea.
firepics, I know what your saying. I can't believe the courage and dedication of our WW2 vets. I have been in a warzone, albeit well back from combat operations, but not neccesarily secure waters. There was always an undercurrent of tension, never really relaxing. I must think that my WW2 era fellow merchant marines must have experienced 100 times the anxiety, always waiting for that torpedo from "no where" to strike. For that they have my extreme respect.
Personally any of the following dates would be neat:
10/21/1805-off the coast of spain
8/1/1798-just west of Alexiandria eygpt
Valetine's Day 1797-off the coast of Portugal
4/2/1801-Copenhagen
Anyone know what all these dates have in common?IACOJ light and power detail

Gonz, as usual, nails it. And DaSharkie's onto something too, although I'd settle for an M40 sniper rifle.
With all due respect to the WWII generation, I believe that the guys who have fought in Falluja, Najaf, Ramadi, and An Nasiriyah rank right up there. Sometimes our awe of our forefathers blinds us to the heroism of our own generation.

I would have to agree on going back to the Revolutionary War, that would be pretty cool.
Just because it's called a throw bag, doesn't mean you throw the whole bag... you're supposed to hold onto the rope.
