TIME TEASER

Barnabas may not have a telephone or electricity. However, he does use flashlights and also rides in an automobile. How else in day to day activity is Barnabas very much part of the 20th Century?

?!?  His clothes!   Although, I do like the period wardrobe.....he does have a nice suit.  

I wonder if it's only one suit?    ?!?

Well the only thing I can think of right now is his use of writing materials.  In the 1700's they used those feathered quill pens that you constantly had to dip into ink to write.  (must have been awfully sloppy)  at least now in modern times, he gets to use ball point pens when he writes.  Im sure he finds that alot faster!  ;)

The matches used to light all those candles...Or perhaps Barnabas uses a cigarette lighter ::)

That's easy. Just look at all the women around him giving him the eye and wondering "Boxers or briefs?"

Uh, I was thinking more along the lines of perhaps he bathes a little more frequently :o

What did I do wrong to quote Mark?

Patti,

Either leave intact what the system automatically adds when you click "Quote", including all numbers, letters, and symbols, which in this instance will look like this
Code: [Select]
[quote]That's easy. Just look at all the women around him giving him the eye and wondering "Boxers or briefs?"[/quote]
or surround his text with this
Code: [Select]
[quote]That's easy. Just look at all the women around him giving him the eye and wondering "Boxers or briefs?"[/quote]
In other words, you can trim the text that you're quoting, but the code has to be exact in order for the quote window to show up correctly.

now that dr. hoffman has installed a generator, barnabas bought a tv and has to be pried out of his easy chair, being addicted to the newlywed game and truth or consequences, and scarfing down twinkies and cokes.  
its a sudden death that i know, my father wrote me to say that, my cousin, uncle jeremiah was, was very disturbed.

He seems quite at ease with many modern amenities...but I want to know who taught him to drive.

Barnabas knows how to use the telephone, and he wears modern clothing very well indeed.  

As far as driving is concerned, I taught him--which explains why he's so awful at it, LOL.  When I was taking Driver's Ed, my fellow students would cross themselves when I took the wheel.  Amazing how religious everyone becomes when driving with me, LOL!

Love, Robin

Ahhhhhh....Don't even mention driving tests! I am taking mine sometime in the next two weeks and am terrified out of my mind! In my town, there is only one lady who gives the test, and she is tough! Out of all my friends who have already taken their tests, only 2 passed the first time. :(

Barnabas doesn't have a license ya know.  First of all, he KNEW he'd fail the written part (no time to study), PLUS...if they wanted to take his picture for the license he wouldn't come out on the film.

Soooo...he never applied for one.
