Your buddy is coming into town for one day (1 Viewer)

[Terminalxylem]

i hate the way this is likely to be perceived, but Vicodin first, a million seconds, his choice once it kicks in. pain relief is going to impress him more than everything else combined

What if he isn’t in pain?

 

[Leroy Hoard]

If he doesn't call me at all, then that's even better.

Someone from the year 1200 might be excused for not knowing how to operate a cell phone.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

What if he isn’t in pain?

Even better?

 

[Ilov80s]

He's from the year 1200.

You've got 24 hours to show him around.  What are you guys doing?  Are you taking him to places, like maybe showing him a big bridge?  Or skyscrapers?  Are you spending all day watching Netflix?  Are you taking him to the doctor to get vaccinated? 

You have to stay within your means.  This isn't some fantastical "what if" where you can just imagine you are rich.  This is real life.  For details:

- Your in your hometown and have to be able to be back home at the 24 hour mark.

- It's a weekday and you took a personal day from work.

- The weather is perfect.

Would not take much money to impress somone from the year 1200. 

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Yes, olden folks of lore did stink big time.

I was envisioning a variation of this.

I suppose yours makes more sense.

 

[Ilov80s]

Are you really blowing off your friend from 1200? 

Hey, you wanted me to show him what 2019 is like 

 

[OrtonToOlsen]

I’d ask him wtf is going on here NSFW

 

[FBG26]

If he's from the year 1200, we're probably not that close, and I'll probably dodge his call, as I'm a little anti-social.

Your buddy from the 1200 has a phone?

If he is from 1200 and is in 2019, he must have a time-machine.  If he has a time-machine, he probably has a phone. Hell, he probably has seen way cooler stuff than I can imagine so I'd tell him to take me for a spin in his time-machine. 

 

[That one guy]

Taking advantage of some cheap southwest airfare and we’re flying to Vegas.  If he survives the sensory overload of flight, Vegas should provide for some fun Bill & Ted style hijinks the rest of the day

What if he isn’t in pain?

It's not actually about the pain. It's certainly not about the buzz. T'would be about showing him that there is not a divine struggle being pursued inside him.

 

[WDIK2]

I will tell him I need help gathering lunch and take him out in the yard to dig for worms.  After a while I would say, "just kidding dude."  Then we would go hunt cattle with swords and spears.

 

[Scoresman]

I'd show him Monty Python and the Holy Grail, but make it seem like we think it to be a historically accurate portrayal of his time period.  

 

[sublimeone]

I'd take him hiking... some really scenic hikes in my area

 

[WDIK2]

He would probably cry at the sight of a chainsaw or farm implements in action.

 

[OrtonToOlsen]

I would show that primative screw-head my boom-stick.

 

[Osaurus]

Make him watch Encino Man and/or Son In Law

 

[Arizona Ron]

If he was from the year 1200, we would be unable to communicate due to the differences between modern English and Algo-Saxon.  You really need to come up with more plausible scenarios involving time travelers from the past.  

This and the sounds that we today consider "white noise" like traffic, air conditioning, etc. would drive him mad. 

 

[Terminalxylem]

Even better?

You want him sleeping away his first trip to the future? 

 

[Terminalxylem]

It's not actually about the pain. It's certainly not about the buzz. T'would be about showing him that there is not a divine struggle being pursued inside him.

I like your writing and stuff, but surely you realize not all (most?) people just get sleepy, and maybe a little nauseated when exposed to opioids. Hardly a transcendental experience.

Cool - that will put him at a significant disadvantage in our mace fight.

 

[Terminalxylem]

Now that sounds divine! 

 

[Stompin' Tom Connors]

I would probably have a super cool day of chilling, driving around in an air-conditioned car and showing him all the wonders of the 21st century...

...then have it all ruined right away by being forced to find a 1.21 jigowatt source of power to get him back to 1200 so he can join Ghengis Khan in invading China, sign up for the 4th Crusade, or be there to force King John to sign the Magna Carta or some other such nonesense, all to ensure I make that weekend camping date with my super hot teenage (and perfectly legal) girlfriend Jennifer Parker.

 

[McBokonon]

Dave and Buster's. It'd be magical. 

 

[matuski]

First thing I do? Play old town road for him

New board game?

 

[TheIronSheik]

OMG.  How big of a #### move would it be if for the first 23 1/2 hours you guys plowed a field with an ox and scythe.  Out in the middle of nowhere.  Than said, "Well.  I guess we should get you back."  Then hop in a car and drive him around with your iPhone hooked up listening to music and following the GPS to take him home.
