CRAIG CONLEY (Prof. Oddfellow) is recognized by Encarta as “America’s most creative and diligent scholar of letters, words and punctuation.” He has been called a “language fanatic” by Page Six gossip columnist Cindy Adams, a “cult hero” by Publisher’s Weekly, a “monk for the modern age” by George Parker, and “a true Renaissance man of the modern era, diving headfirst into comprehensive, open-minded study of realms obscured or merely obscure” by Clint Marsh. An eccentric scholar, Conley’s ideas are often decades ahead of their time. He invented the concept of the “virtual pet” in 1980, fifteen years before the debut of the popular “Tamagotchi” in Japan. His virtual pet, actually a rare flower, still thrives and has reached an incomprehensible size. Conley’s website is OneLetterWords.com.
This temporal anomaly contains a purple haze near the middle. Plus, a magic word square surrounds the XII, with "word" spelled forwards, backwards, upside down, vertically, and upside down vertically. From Wilmington's 1923 yearbook.
[Inexplicable images from generations ago invite us to restore the lost
sense of immediacy. We follow the founder of the Theater of
Spontaneity, Jacob Moreno, who proposed stringing together "now and then
flashes" to unfetter illusion and let imagination run free. The images
we have collected for this series came at a tremendous price, which we explained previously.]
We're honored to have received a triple-"cool" approval from Yeeflex on our remix!
Let us know -- did any stopped clocks begin ticking while you listened to this music? Did "time fly"? The song is just under 5 minutes long, but did you experience any sense of "timelessness" along the way? Whether or not you can verify a temporal anomaly, we had fun creating this video to share some time with you.

You'll have noticed the wavy hands of this clock that interpenetrates a cemetery. You'll rarely see unbending hands on clocks that interpenetrate cemeteries. From Virginia Commonwealth University's 1974 yearbook.
It looks like the reflected sign below the clocks says "colon room," and for our purposes that's auspicious, for the colon in a modern clock brings the digital realm to the analog one pictured. Yes, this is a time travel device. For vital instructions on how to use these sorts of photos for mystical ends, see How to Hoodoo Hack a Yearbook.
This time-bending photograph is from Lambuth's 1977 yearbook.
