I don't know.  Sounds like a pretty radical change in perception.  I mean, I have a hard time believing that I could ever want to pee my pants.  The crazy issues that people could have with this kind of situation though might bear looking into though.  Will have to keep my eyes open.

Wow, this would be hilarious. I can just imagine sitting in the middle of one of my classes looking like the Master Chief. Oh the reactions you could draw.

I'm very tempted to do the shaven head barecode thing.

So am I (tempted to do the shaved head thing).  I really want to set off a smoke machine and strobe lights next to a building, stumble out and say slowly (while thinking), loudly and in a strange accent, "Hielo Why-ar im I?  Why-at yier is fis?"

Wow.  I am too shy to ever do this, but this is the funniest thing I've seen all day.

If I had any clue, would I be here?

My personal favorite would be the dystopian soldier with the black football pads. You would have to play somebody else's bodyguard, because that just seems like the role for a strong-silent type, but there are so many subtleties you could bring into it, like constantly touching your ear like a secret service agent, or occasionally pulling the person you were guarding behind cover and looking around frantically.

I saw a good prospect for someone who might go for this up on BYU campus today.   He was standing on top of a picnic table break-dancing to some music.  Didn't seem to have too many issues with it.  Despite the fact that there were dozens of people at the Bookstore Discount Sale tent right there next to where his table was.  There was a girl trying to stand discreetly behind her friend though, making a video recording of the guy by using the camera on her phone.  Wonder how many random video-phone shots will show up of this stuff on You Tube the day after.

What amuses me about this holiday is that it's one that actually becomes less effective the more people get involved. When you run up to someone and frantically ask what year it is, you want that person to be a "normal" or the trick doesn't work.

Good idea.  That's what I did.  But I waited even longer, until 2047, to come back for time travel day.   But 2010 would be good a good year as well.  If I remember right the big fad in 2010 was banana peel clothing.  You'll definitely attract attention.
