What Comes Around Goes Around

In an alternate timeline I have another blog almost identical to this one. Some of you may find it interesting. I guess things do live forever on the internet.

The Continuing Adventures of T.D. Tehuti, Gentleman Time Traveler

TARDIS In May

There's something you don't see every day.

  I was fortunate enough to see the TARDIS for myself up close once. The Doctor tried to steal my dog. Isis and I were going for our morning constitutional when we heard the oddest noise. I immediately recognized the sound from my many years of time travel experience. We turned around and sure enough a big blue box had appeared in the middle of the road. Of course we had to investigate.

The one thing we've seen on our walks that she's not afraid of. Imagine that.

Surprisingly, Isis was not afraid and almost went into the thing when the doors opened. If she had gone inside instead of just peeking through the doorway I might never have found her, because as everyone knows, a TARDIS is bigger on the inside. I engaged the Doctor in a brief chat in which he invited me to travel with him and even bring the dog. When I declined, he informed me that he was more interested in Isis than he was in me, and that he would take good care of her if I let him take her with him. That request was politely but firmly declined. Then, as quickly as it appeared, the TARDIS faded away.

Old Time Lords never die, they just fade away...

TARDIS For All

It's bigger on the inside!

 If traveling through time and space in style and comfort appeals to you, then skip those single-passenger, built from a parasol and wing-back chair contraptions and hitch a ride in a TARDIS. Lost in time, away from home with lots to do and room to roam, thats what I say. Because if there is one thing about the TARDIS that makes it superior to all other forms of relative dimensional travel it's that it is bigger on the inside. Oh, if they just made TARDIS blue jeans, say 38" waist on the outside and 42" on the inside, I'd die and go to denim heaven.

But where does one find a TARDIS, you ask? Where DON'T you find one! They are everywhere, relatively speaking*. They even show up on Google Maps and Street Views. And if you don't happen to find one just sitting on a corner somewhere you can build your own. Perhaps you'd like to start with a visit to the TARDIS Library, just one of the many resources available to the resourceful.

If constructing a full-sized replica is not practical, but you still want to DIY, then perhaps a papercaft model is more your speed. There are MANY to choose from. I like this photo-realistic one myself.

Yet, there are those for whom a bit of folding and gluing is simply not enough. Some scratch build wooden models and light them. Some then take those models and through an unholy combination of alchemy and science, make their TARDISes put the rest of ours to shame.

Check out this awesome AR TARDIS model thunk up and built by Greg Kumparak:

I'm sure that there is MUCH more TARDIS related ephemera in the Whoverse that I've missed than I've seen. So please accept these tiny nuggets of TARDIS greatness as the aperitif that they are intended to be, and please don't be shy about sharing your finds with me, either in the comments section or simply transmat them directly to my FaceBook page.
