the Time Lord meme going around

[scarfman]

First saw this at omorka, though I did hear qtrhorserider going over it with rox_law earlier.

Your job is now your Time Lord name. The last digit of your phone number is the current regeneration you are in. The nearest clothing item to your right is now the most notable item in your current wardrobe. The last person you texted is your current companion. Your favourite word is now your catchphrase.

I'm the Interactive Transcriptionist (beats being the Customer Service Representative). You know what, forget that, I'm the Cartoonist and I always have been.

I'm in my fourth incarnation.

There's a ballcap with old paystubs in it on top of the stereo console next to the mail bin.

qtrhorserider is my companion of course.

Do I have a favorite word? I think the character string I voice most often is one I swiped from Sidney Freedman, "We'll see, then we'll know." Or, from Henry Blake, "I was just going to suggest that."

All the meme lacks is, what is your TARDIS stuck disguised as? But then, what could be used to determine that?

Developer Who

[kail-panille.livejournal.com]

Apparently I'm the Developer (Web Developer, but dropping Web sounds more Timey-Wimey).
Maybe the nearest thing with a door that's not actually a full sized building can be your TARDIS? I'd be traveling time in a rickety steel shed in that instance, though I suspect a lot of people would wind up with a car of some kind.

There really isn't any clothing to my right, although there's a bathroom next door, so maybe I can wear a hand towel somehow.

Apparently I'm traveling with my wife, which should please her. :) And my catchphrase is probably "Really?" said all dry and sarcastic-like.

Hullo, fellow Developer. (Systems Developer here. Hacker? Emphatically not cracker!)

The nearest thing with a door that's not actually a full sized building?

A cupboard. Beating my fridge by a few inches. Neither would accommodate me. Unless it really is bigger on the inside. :-P

Which inside I'll be travelling with a beanie and my gym buddy, perhaps?

"We'll see." (Noncommittally.)

Perhaps "door" should be qualified to "door you could step through without stooping too much, provided the space on the other side is clear." I think a TARDIS that looks like a fridge (preferably one with full-height vertical doors) would be pretty sweet.

And of course you know there's at least one that looks like a wardrobe (http://xkcd.com/969/).

I've thought of using a fridge as a time capsule in cartoons meant to parody rather than derive, but I wouldn't want to give kids bad ideas.

Mere seconds after I read this comment, this (http://timemachineyeah.tumblr.com/post/12781069651) came across my feed reader.

Weird. Eerie.

That would be the console stereo I mentioned above. You'd climb in through the lid.

Wait, I'm the Web Developer. And I also don't have any clothing to my right, unless the headphones count as clothing. Maybe we're different incarnations of the same Time Lord?

Wait, I'm the Web Developer.

I was going to say something about having called it first, but then I realized:

1. "First" doesn't really apply to discussions about hypothetical Time Lords, and


2. This:

   Maybe we're different incarnations of the same Time Lord?

   is a very cool idea.

So, based on my "primary" phone number, I'm number Six. In case of conflicts, I could also be either Three or Ten (assuming zero maps to ten). Are you my future or my past?

And I also don't have any clothing to my right, unless the headphones count as clothing.

I think that could work. Sadly they're probably not 80's style battery powered FM radio headphones with a big antenna on one side, but that's what I'm picturing.

Re: Developer Who

[pedanther]

I'm number Eight.

Sadly, no. Nor are they the chunky wireless headphones that make me think of Cybermen whenever I see myself in the mirror wearing them. (I have more sets of headphones than I probably really need.)

So does that make me "The Printer", "The Emperor", or "the Customer Advisor"?

Whatever, I'm definitely the 5th one. And my clothing item is a single black sock (currently missing from my left foot, 'cos it was itching). My companion is salika (Yay!!!). =:o} And my catchphrase is... quite possibly "Oh, frebble!", in a tone of extreme annoyance.

Oh, and my TARDIS is an ATM for a bank no one's ever heard of let alone got an account with. The keys looks just like a cashcard, but you laso have to know the PIN. It materialises in the side of any convenient vertical surface. If there is no such surface (e.g. due to the lack of an emergent civilisation in the area capable of constructing one), then it just appears in thin air, being invisible from behind. If captured or otherwise separated from the TARDIS, make sure to return along a route that enables you see where the darn thing is!

Hmm. I'm The ESL Teacher in my third regeneration. I've got a sort of shoulder/back vest-thing in fuzzy brown made of polyester and nylon. My Companion is Danny Torres and my catchphrase is "Fish!"

Also, I don't think the Tardis has to have an identifiable door. The Master's has been a pillar, if I remember correctly.
