A new post on Jonathan Frid's site.  Please read the comments on his front page and tell me what he is trying to say.  I've read it several times and still cannot figure out exactly what he is saying.

That fall must have really hurt.  I wouldn't have blamed him if he'd left to go lay down, but he didn't.
He went on with the show.

The mantra "The Show Must Go On" is not just a nice talking point for most actors/entertainers.

What some of you are failing to realize is that time travel is only possible if time itself is non-linear.  If time is non-linear then all time has already happened and is simply being replayed over and over again.  So the traveling through time itself would happen in the same way over and over again.  Time would have conformed itself to the traveling - it would have to because the simple act of traveling through time would, necessarily, alter the time traveled to.  It would create another variable.  That variable would always have had to exist every time that particular point in time happens.

Many of you talk like, yeah it is possible, we just haven't invented it yet.  But it would HAVE to already exist.  Otherwise you are looking at it from the viewpoint that we in "present time" are going through all of this for the first time, which would not be possible if time is non-linear.  If time is non-linear this has all been done and is just on an "endless loop," which would mean that it could have NEVER happened for the "first" time.  In other words, we would have no free will and not truly be making our own decisions as all of these decisions have already played out endlessly. 

The THEORY of relativity, et al is just that... a theory.  Some of you are SURE that it is fact, just like many used to be SURE that the world was flat and the earth revolved around the sun.  We now know that those facts (theories) are not true.  Yes, Einstien was quite smart but that does not mean the man was right 100% of the time.  He was simply postulating theories based on "facts" known. 

Long story short, if time is non-linear then time travel already exists, if it can exist at all... it HAS to.  If it already exists then it HAS to be built into the time continuum.  If that is the case then nothing can change what has, or is going to, happen as all of this is simply on an endless loop and time travel is already built into that loop.  So there is no "going back and changing" this and that because if it was going to happen it would have already happened due to the endless loop.  Hence whether time travlel is possible or not, it is a non-issue because the act itself is built into time and cannot alter time as it has all already happened.

The books out there do have some cute ideas based on theory but the simple fact of the matter is, if it can happen it is not going to change anything anyway because if it is possible then it has all already played out. 

I realize I might be going over some of your heads, not meaning to sound condescending.  Oh well, I guess I can always go back through time and edit this anyway.   

Not all the JF fall videos have been removed.  There are a set of three videos (Jonathan Frid talks to the audience parts 1-3) that show the entire Sunday performance, including the fall.

Videotaping of any performance Jonathan Frid gives is not allowed in the first place.

I can't tell you how many camcorders were on Frid during all of his appearances.  There had to be 20 on the front row alone.  No one said anything about taping not being allowed at the fest..

Frank stressed that time travel does not violate the laws of physics and that the only reason it has not happened yet is because of our limited technology.

Wouldn't you think that if time travel really was possible that someone from the future, when we should supposedly have the unlimited technology, would have already come back and visited us?  That is the problem with those that theorize on this topic.  They don't take into account that if we could visit the past then the future has also happened and those people who should now be able to do the time travel should already be making the trip.

Long story short... either it is not possible or we will NEVER have the technology.  Either way, it is a non-issue.

I myself lost about 50 pounds last summer and it was hell...but it was worth it!!  I feel better all around.

Congratulations Taeylor!

I weighed 280lbs almost five years ago and, thanks to the birth of my beautiful daughter, I got motivated to lose 115 lbs in 7 months and have kept it off ever since, even through Hurricane Katrina where we lost our house.  We have been back in our new house, had to start over from scratch for the last 1.5 years.  (I live just north of Lake Ponchartrain north of New Orleans.)  No dangerous surgery - just a very healthy diet and plenty of exercise.  And it definitely makes life much better.
