Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Long Live the Legion! WARNING: People from the Future May Be Watching You Right Now!

mooning the future as we speak.

Jeepers! It just occurred to me that people on alternate Earths may be reading about my adventures in comic books!

Here's an idea I read about in a Time Travel site a couple of years ago:

First, write your own version of the following letter.

Dear Time Travellers,
Assuming that civilisation has evolved by the time you read this and time travel is an everyday occurrence, I hereby declare that I really want to meet you because <add a few good reasons>.
I'm a fan of a futuristic comic book (a small book composed of sequential images and text) called the Legion of Super-Heroes that's set in the 30th-31st Century.
It's possible you don't even know it ever existed. It's also possible that it's studied in your time as a "classic" of historical literature or even that you've created a real Legion of Super-Heroes as guardians for your world(s) inspired by this comic book.
As a mega-fan of this magazine, time-travel, extraterrestrials, galactic empires etc are no novelty for me, so I'm not going to go into shock if you decide to come to my era.
I'd like to meet you on <add date> at <address etc>. I'm enclosing a photo of myself for your convenience.

Thank you
<name>

Now, go to the bank and rent a safety box for 500 hundred years. Put the letter in it. State explicitly that that box is not to be opened before January 1, 2507 and on condition that time travel WILL be a reality by then.

To further ensure your letter will be read by time travellers do the following too: Open a small account and put some money in it that is to be spent for paying for the safety box after 500 years elapse (5 centuries' worth of interest ought to be enough for extending the time your safety box will remain yours) in case time travel is not yet possible in the early 26th century.
Keep a copy of the letter to prove to the time travellers that you are you.

Then go home and prepare for the meeting with the time travellers from the 26th century. Make *aboslutely* sure you'll be in the right place and time for the meeting!

Silly? Of course it is. I wonder, though, if anyone has tried it.

Wasn't there a convention for time travellers or something like that at MIT or someone a couple of years back? I seem to recall a thread about that somewhere.

I wouldn't know but there still are a few sites with serious discussions about time travelling and the possibility of contact with time travellers.

Special Christmastime Warning:

Fat, Bearded Guys Who Hang Around With Reindeer and Elves May Be Watching You Right Now!

Uncle Space Bubba?

I already bought my menorah candles, Fatman. So get off my back. [raspberry]

As for traveling to the future, fuggedaboutit. I already know that I'd end up in Hectic Planet future, not Legion future. That's always the way my luck has worked. Granted, the former would have a fun array of music and beverages, but the rest... ehhh...

Lett'em watch..i got'cha peep show right 'ere!

*make obscene gesture towards the sky.

Bears repeating!

Bears!!! Where? Are the Bears watching us too?

Haven't you heard? They watch you when you're sleeping.

Especially if you're sleeping in their bed after sitting in their chair and eating their porridge.

But..but.. it was just right.

"WARNING: People from the Future May Be Watching You Right Now! "

*grabs latest Simon R. Green novel, glasses, cigar and heads to bathroom.

"'scuse me, gotta go mail a letter."

Let's send the watchers over to Jerry's house. I hear it's pretty neat and clean over there. Besides, I've got nothing in the fridge because I haven't been shopping yet today.

The shopping is done and I have have the perfect dinner napkins for guests from the future. They should come on Tuesday.

I'm not so bothered about civilized future types watching us but get the creeps at villains from the Phantom Zone spying on the solid world.

If I had been sent to the Zone, my comment to the judge/jurors/lawyers would have been something like:

I'll enjoy watching your wife undress and you having sex together. And I'll enjoy blackmailing you when I come out knowing all your secrets.

Creepy huh?

And thats when, as a judge, I'da just killed ya'.

I'm taking the slow boat to the future, and when I get there, I'm gonna kick their time-voyeur butts!

"Yeah, you, future man. Keep looking at me, and yer gonna see me kick your ass!"

Excuse me? I <strike>resemble</strike> resent that comment!

Naw, I said future man, who would be from the Adult LMBP. You're future king, from the LMBVillains, right?

LOL
Yes, that's right. Watch your back!

Don't forget:

Annual

I hope that the people from the future bring me lots of good presents this year!

Hm. This thread was started in 2004. We're reading it in 2012. You know what this means?

WE are the people from the future who are watching us!
