> [@The Weird One](#): > > Of COURSE I’m using a TARDIS! What else? > > True story: I visited a friend in Glasgow in February (cheap air-fare). It was my first time in the UK. So I’m wandering 'round the shops and I see a police call-box. _Ohmigod_, thinks my lame-ass American tourist self, _a TARDIS!!_ And I whipped out my little disposable camera and took a picture of it. When my son was around 3 - 4 years old, I had him believing the Port-O-Potty in the local park was a TARDIS. But that wasn’t it. ---
