Mark Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Well? Surely being yourself in your own crappy life isn't all that. Who would you rather be? What event would you die to be at? When in history would you have chosen to live? Chicago Gangster? Apollo Astronaut? Medieval Royalty? Me, I'd have preferred to have been born in the early 20s. Upon the outbreak of WWII, joined the RAF and been a pilot of some sort. Sure, may have been killed, but the adventure of it all is better than living in some crappy London suburb working in retail. What about you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seachmall Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 (edited) I'd like to be myself, as I am now, in the 30s or 60s. A 30s gangster or 60s hippy, two complete opposites but both lived the dream Also, if I was a 30s gangster I could kill Harry J. Anslinger before 1937.

Mike Tequeli Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Actually in the RAF it during WW2 it was more like probably killed. Maybe Jesus for me, then I could make my teachings very specific, and nothing stupid. Then maybe there wouldn't be all the biblical misinterpretation these days, maybe not. Either case, if I could go back to the present and see how the world had interpreted my words, it would be one hell of a good laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flicko Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 'Pool party at Caesars!' Numerous naked women bathing with me all the time? Check. Pure entertainment watching Chariot racing and gladiatorial combat, with the ability to decide a person's fate? Check. Constantly regarded as practically a God by practically everyone around me? Check. Savagely assasinated? Check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fnorg Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 A hippie in the 60s, would be fun. Weed, awesome music, spitting on veterans. Awesome. Or Caesar. Caesar would be awesome too. I saw awesome a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmachine Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Probably a New York citizen in the 1980's because of the music. If not that, then someone in the middle ages (around the 11th century), because the thought of how much the World has changed is amazing. I'd be more than happy to see how people lived at that age.

poopskin Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 A Programmer for the Xerox Palo-Alto facility, born in the 50s, working in 1972 (With enough money to buy my own ALTO prototype and still have plenty of money to spare) I'd be able to say i used the first GUI ever!

Machida Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I've always done my best to become a modern day bard. Frequenting local drinking holes, mixing with the locals ect ect. So the obvious choice for me would be to go back to the medieval period and jazz it up there as one of the old bards roaming the lands and getting merry… I've never liked the singing though.

Jim Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I would have liked to have been born in the mid to late 60s, so I could grow up as a child in the 70s, as a teen in the 80s, and start a career in the 90s. This is because there were so many opportunities in these times, and not just that, the music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnyboy Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I would like to live during the early 1900's (1900-1920) as an Italian immigrant in NYC. Open up a pizza restaurant and then somehow open up a chain across the northeast then expand west and then take over the country with my pizza chains.

Tearing up the cinema to rock around the clock. F*cking ace... This. Second choice would be a wealthy artist in 1880-1900 whitechapel, with what he know now of Jack the Ripper and the time/place of his murders, so I could finally actually see who he really was.

Groovy Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Detective in San Fran in the 70's. Like what TLC said, find out the identity of a serial killer. In this case, the Zodiac. Or LA in the mid 80's, be a part of the mob who nearly beat Richard Ramirez to death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark-2007 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I'd be some high up noble guy in England in the 1500s. Chicago gangster in the 1920s is another good one. Both of these are pretty dangerous though. As long as I stay on the right side of my King/Boss, then I'd be alright. I'd also like to be hanging around Paris in the French Revolution. See how thang's went down. Being around when loads of good music was around in the 1960s would be good, but I wouldn't want to be a hippy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonshield Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 (edited) Either a biker in the 50's in California, or a blues/jazz musician at the same time in Chicago or Nola. Or maybe a gunfighter in the 1870's, or a Viking raider in the 1100's. Edited November 28, 2008 by Moonshield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monuriki. Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 A blues/jazz musician at the same time in Chicago or Nola... That was my second choice, sitting in a dark smokey club playing my guitar. That would be awsome... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 a gunfighter in the 1870's Me too. With dual peacemakers and a Winchester rifle Or a Sicilian gangster in NYC or Chicago in prohibition era.
