I was casting dispersions on the idea of a time traveler being in the Chaplin film by relating it to another example of a supposed time traveler. One that had been thoroughly debunked in the very article I linked it to. Only to have it pointed out to me that it had been debunked.

The "bluetooth" comment was pretty much the same idea. What's the term for taking an argument to an extreme in order to make a point?

I didn't catch that. Sorry. I'm sick; my brain is all muddled.

While I do not accept the central premise of the individual in question being a time traveler, it was interesting to see that transvestites have been around on Hollywood blvd. since at least the 20's.

Wait a second..... Time Travel, Transvestite, movies, Is that.....

At least? Puhleeze! (see what I did there?)

Trannys in Hollywood could be a 14 episode Ken Burton documentary series!
