How I became an internet phenomenon and fell victim to one of the inherent dangers of time travel.

TRAVEL THROUGH TIME THEY SAID. 

IT'LL BE FUN THEY SAID

Hello my friends. Those of you that know me well will be aware that I like to amuse myself with various projects. Be it buying hubcaps, burning books, weighting junk mail, photographing abandoned couches, recording my drunken travels and, of course, making clocks.

One of these projects has involved some time travel. Here I'll let my Facebook status explain...

This was what we call in the pranking business - the long game. Now My chum Tom thought this was a jolly lark so he posted it to reddit.

And there my silly little distraction sat. However there was something about this jape that attracted peoples attention.

He wasn't wrong. It was going crazy.

Some of the comments are hilarious here are just a few of my favorites.

And some more.

Then I realized that I would need to supply video evidence of this for the hungry internet. One thing we've learnt the last thing you want to piss off was the internet.

So I decided to start getting ready for the big day. I had my helmet, a video camera and a friend to record the event.

I was all set. I thought I better scout the venue. As my friends know I am something of a fixture in bars so I didn't want to risk spoiling my gag by walking back into the bar before the 5th. It had to be a bar I wouldn't wander into in the year between appearances.

So I picked a bar I didn't frequent.

Sadly it turns out I wasn't the only one who didn't frequent this bar...

I had forgotten one of the main rules of time travel.

Time marches on.

Time - the fire in which we burn - had moved on. The bar had gone under and was being refurbished. I felt like Charlton Heston at the end of Planet of the Apes. Or Bruce Willis' son in the Butterfly effect.

We forget when we try to troll time - time might just troll us back.

I am very sorry to the internet I have let you down. However I'm taking this as a test drive. I've made some mistakes and I can see some room for improvement. In fact I am going to overhaul this project and turn it into something that doesn't just take a year to execute instead I'm pepper the joke across a year. I might need some help doing this.

So any one up for a spot of time travel?  

The Crooked Line I Walk

So I was at my friend James' house watching the final episode of The Almighty Johnsons.

Much fun and hilarity was had. And much booze drunken.

Drunken being the operative word.

Now I know James has been a fan of my drunken walks home and the photographs I invariably take on these stumbling journeys. So I'm sure he will be delighted to know that a party at his home has initiated yet another of my crooked paths.

Usually I don't get to see these pictures until the next day so I have no answers for you as to why these images took my fancy - they just do.

Drunken Nick, it seems, fancies himself as a bit of a photographer. He isn't he's a monstrous bore who always leaves the bathroom in a terrible state and has an unquenchable appetite for kebabs.

So here, once again for your enjoyment, yet another of my drunken strolls...

Couch blocks traffic

Apparently a couch was blocking the motorway in Wellington yesterday

I can't tell you how much this news delights me. I can neither confirm nor deny that I had anything to do with this.

Couching the Issue

I know this will delight a few of my regular visitors - I've been out spotting abandoned couches again.

Here are some new additions to my catalogue. Enjoy.

It's interesting how often these couches are accompanied by a sigh that says FREE!

I spotted these on a road that regularly has abandoned furniture on it. Some helpful residents had set fire to them. A fate that often befalls furniture left out on the street too long.

I find something sad and strangely beautiful about these two.

The fire got a bit close to the recycling bin which resulted in this interesting cross-section. 

Thanks for stopping by I hope your life is richer now.
