The Timely Return of Lillian Virginia Mountweazel to Times Square 

The times they are a changin' and its hip to be square. Time stood still on Times Square.

Exactly! Be there and be square. Hip, hop, jump, or skip the minutes, time is timeless especially on Times Square, that's why it's called Times Square. It's both timeless and on time because that's where all time came from and where it all will go to at the end of time, which, in reality, is timeless and that's why we'll never be able to perceive it correctly. Therefore time is time and never money, as many people mistakenly think. So the true meaning of "Times Square" is of course "Timeless Square".

At the tone it is 14 hours, 15 minutes and 3 seconds!!

It is 18:18 now (now, now, now, ..said the echo)

...where now equals to 1.5 on the international TGIF beer scale

yay for Fridays! (just sayin')

You definitely had to much beer, Ulrich. This TGIF beer is from a brewery in Wuppertal, right? *barf*
It is not 18:18 now, but 19:36. Friday is right on time!

quite right on time that is, indeed. 18:34 btw. just now, where now has just become 18:35 meanwhile and the seconds not included (i mean, there are just too much of 'em anyway, ain't they)

...and on a serious beer remark: There never is anything close to 'too much' in the context of beer, which is especially true on Fridays. And we have to keep in mind that there always is a Friday somewhere out there in the great wide open.

Ulrich, something is untimely with your time machine, in other words: clock. The times you're giving me, be they square or round - it doesn't matter, are, however, constantly incorrect. It is not 18:35, but 12:22 now and you were not on time for the Times Square square dancing practise. Ts, ts, ts, that happens when you have a Rolex and not a Timex. Speaking of watches: which watch is more on time, the one that is constantly 1 minute late or the one that has stopped functioning completely?

And no, I don't want to speak about beer. I don't care about beer. I'm only interested in the timelessness of time.

Watches whose name end with 'ex' are suspicious. And watches are never on time. Humans are. Or they pretend to be. Sometimes.

We are the only species on earth that is on time. Every being on the planet can be late or early, but being on time is something special to mankind. And completely useless as being proved all the time for instance by airlines or public transport.

Which watch is more on time? I don't know. Probably the watch witch does. Or Schroedinger. Anyway, I guess we have a synchronising requirement, time for some time levelling:

Oh, you're absolutely right, watches are completle timeless and hence useless. And the answer to the riddle of time:
Of course, the watch that stopped funcitioning is more correct because it shows the correct time twice a day (once a day, if it's a digital watch)!!

Hey, thats interesting ideed! Now imagine one could run fast enough to always follow the time around the globe. The broken watch would show the correct time permanently. Though this person would not make it for tea time unfortunately.

Why not? If it's
a) a British watch, and
b) if it stopped exactly at tea time
this would definitely be possible. Not with your watch, of course, because German watches (or those sold in or intended for import to Germany) only show coffee time.

When does the Square Dance begin here?

It begins from square one. After that you take the next step and then three backwards.

Jeweils vier Tanzpaare stehen sich in einem Quadrat (Englisch Square) gegenüber und führen zur Musik Bewegungen oder Figurenfolgen aus, die durch Ansagen (Calls) von einem Caller (Ausrufer) in gesprochener oder gesungener Form vorgegeben werden. Die Calls werden vom Caller zu einem Tanz zusammengefügt. Sie sind weltweit in englischer Sprache und genormt. So kann ein Tänzer aus Deutschland jederzeit ohne Schwierigkeiten zusammen mit Tänzern aus den USA, Mbmars, Mbabane oder anderen Ländern tanzen.

Wunderschön beschrieben, grossneffenonkelchen. Ich bin beeindruckt. Und ganz richtig, so ist es! Square dancing ist je DER tanz bei volksfesten in Mbabane, oder auch bei behörden und vor der kasse von supermärkten - also immer dort, wo man lange warten muss und sich das schlangestehen etwas lustiger gestalten möchte. Und seit einiger zeit ist square dancing ja auch auf dem Mbars, ganz besonders in Mars Bars City, die total Attractive Fashion. Bei meinem nächsten kurztrip zum Mbars werde ich dort mal ein paar fotos von den square dance gruppen machen!
