It can be anything you want - good or bad - BUT IT HAS TO BE FAKE.

Space Station.
0-G.
Ball lightning.

Need I say more?

I've always wondered about that time you said, "I bet I can hypnotize the entire population of the planet Earth to believe that not is their sky blue now... but it was *always* blue."

I laughed and said, "But what about books? What about movies? What about the plastrochastic arrays?"

You just smiled and told me, "They'll see blue in the movies and read blue in the books. The arrays... all right, those are harder. I'll just make them all forget the arrays."

I was skeptical. "Our whole lives center around those things. You can't make everyone forget they spend over 50% of their income on plastrochastics."

You outright laughed. "Yes, I can!" There was a wicked gleam in your eye, like a hitman counting money. "Watch me."

Damn me if it wasn't true. It's been three years and not one person's twigged to any of this.

It makes me wonder what *I* might have been made to forget...

Well, you remember that pirate-themed live game out at Prado?? You only *think* it was a live game. We were actually on a ship near Saturn, working on new arrays, because the old ones were infected by a virus that were about to undo all my work. And that's only the beginning....

Remember that time when you, Lisa and I all traded instruments and marched in each others spots in the field show? That was the one time we won sweepstakes, wasn't it? Man that was fun.

Holy crap!!!

I don't think anyone can top essentialsaltes but here goes:

Discovering the time/dimension shift device was only the beginning. We had to not only prepare ourselves for life 100 years ago, we had to be ready for a history that included magic and a technology so different from ours. Thankfully, you were there to guide us in the quick assembly of clothing that would slide us into the dimension seamlessly. How did you know that we could hide our recorders in brooches disguised as a bundle of gears? Or that dark glasses would effortlessly disguise our heads-up displays? Did you take a preliminary scouting mission on your own, before we had constructed the laser guns, even knowing how dangerous it would be?

I didn't tell the others, but I saw a photo of a group who looked suspiciously like you, Michael, and Emily in a newspaper the day we arrived. It was purported to be of a spelunker's picnic the week before...

We'll have to reminisce over tea when you return from your next mission. (How did you get those pressure suits to work?)

There was a bad part in the air filtration housing. I fixed them with parts of an old tires, hose clamps, and the last of my chewing gum. Good as new. It's not a manufacturer's fault; who knew we would be using them this way?

Remember when we wrote that play together and the climactic line was "Rapunzel! Rapunzel! Let down your vermicelli!"

Oh, wait. That one's true.

Or the one where you went off to Hollywood to be a musician...

Damn. That one's true too.

Or how about that night we saw a flying saucer...

Obviously, I'm no good at this. Alternately, our real memories together are so cool that fake memories pale by comparison! :-)

yay!!!
