Back To The Eighties.

Manfic Colour
When I got up today, I didn't expect it would be quite so Eighties.  Here I am in a DeLorean DMC-12 from Back To The Future, and a t-shirt featuring Elliott from E.T. and an H.R. Giger Alien from Aliens:



(I should have remembered to lift my glasses.)



(Love the Canberra number plate and flux capacitor.)

And this new street has just appeared 500 metres from my house:



Peter Cullen is the name of the actor who played (and still plays to this day) the voice of Optimus Prime from Transformers.  Amongst countless other gigs, he's also the voice of Eeyore from Winnie The Pooh, Murky Dismal from Rainbow Brite, Venger from Dungeons & Dragons, K.A.R.R. from Knight Rider and the narrator from Voltron.  (Peter Cullen was also the name of a great Australian environmentalist.  But I'd like to imagine that the street is named after Optimus Prime.)

(Thanks to Callum for his DeLorean.)

So now that you have the DeLorean, are you going to travel back to the nineteen-nineties, or will you go and meet Shakespeare in Elizabethan England? Make sure you don't crash into the TARDIS in those time tunnels...

You know me well. I'm totally going to do both - one to finally see Kenickie and the other to prove exactly who Shakespeare was, one way or another.

Perhaps you will turn out to be the one in Kenickie's car, or a source of inspiration for the great wordsmith himself? Or perhaps you can go back to watch Billy Bragg look up "unrequited" in a dictionary...

Good grief, all you needed was a Casey Casem inclusion and your journey towards the 80s would have been complete. And it was my pleasure to provide the wheels. :)
