Dear Wordsmith,
I notice that although your colleague has continued on into the year 2008, you seem to be reliving 2007. Have you at last created a time machine? Aren't you afraid that blatantly advertising it on your website will leave you vulnerable to some sort of villanous attack? What if this technology falls into the wrong hands? Are you willing to rescue the world from whatever catastrophe might strike should your device be stolen? On a completely unrelated topic, could you please tell me the address where the device is being stored?

Ooh, look at all ACV's little question marks! How to be sure I'll get them all... Oh, I know. I'll answer each individually.
Have you at last created a time machine?
Yes, ACV. Yes I have.
Aren't you afraid that blatantly advertising it on your website will leave you vulnerable to some sort of villanous attack?
The wordsmith is no stranger to villainous attack. Let them come, I say. LET THEM COME!
What if this technology falls into the wrong hands?
Bets would be made, stocks would be bought, and the wrong people would become sickeningly rich, and own multiple mansions of million-dollar values, go on reckless alcoholic binges, and be generally irresponsible with their money, prompting the existence of "experts" in fields such as clothing, make-up, and automobile manufacture and maintenance.
These experts would insist on the most ridiculous things, most of which would be seen walking up and down catwalks, but it wouldn't matter if they dressed their models as scrabble(tm) boards, because someone would buy it--mind you, while the "expert" cried out with glee on how brilliant the creation was, the sickeningly rich person would only wear it once or twice, and not because they thought it was brilliant, but because they were charged four hundred thousand dollars for their scrabble(tm) board, and so they could say, "Look what I had the gall to buy at double the price of the house you can't afford!"
Come to think of it, ACV, mine might not be the only time machine.
Are you willing to rescue the world from whatever catastrophe might strike should your device be stolen?
But then what would the tabloids do? And how could I rob millions of guys of one of their favorite channels? For the clothes, of course.
On a completely unrelated topic, could you please tell me the address where the device is being stored?
What the heck, you sound like a trustworthy person. It's hidden in the corner of my closet, behind my skis, in the combination safe. It's not too large, but only because I've travelled into the future with it, and had all the parts miniaturized, so that it will fit into a large purse or handbag. (This is how I know that no guys will steal it. What guy would be caught wearing a purse?) And the combination for the safe is 72-34-23. Thanks for your interest.
As always, the wordsmith welcomes your questions.
