You find a frozen man...

    ...and he happens to be from the medieval times (for sake of him having some intelligence) and for no apparent reason he's alive and well after you thawed him out. :pac:

    You find it in your heart to take him in and show him the wonders of modern life.

    What would you do to make this guy adjust to today?

    (sounds like a plot to a bad 80's Disney movie)

    Me, I'd freak him out with the likes of modern technology like a toaster or mobile phone. (women rights would probably give him a heart attack :P )

    Take him down the pub, of course.

    Sure it'd make him feel at home if he's from medieval times.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86,729 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    Buy him an Xbox and Oblivion GOTY edition.

    It'll be just like the good old days - but in HD!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,883 ✭✭✭wudangclan


    bring him to bunratty castle folk park.
    he'll never know he was away.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,252 ✭✭✭✭stovelid


    Get him to kill enemies.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 157 ✭✭A Doozer


    Make him watch california man to teach him what not to do.

    Show him a lightbulb, then a radio, then a tv and finally a computer, then make an account for him on boards and he'll be on the same level of knowledge as everyone else on boards when it comes to recent happenings.

    I'd tell him cars were the supreme rulers of the world, and had enslaved mankind in a terrible war. Then give him a weapon and watch what happens.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,178 ✭✭✭✭NothingMan


    Tell him i'm a wizard and order him to slay my enemies! (in my mind he's a knight).

    I'd tell him Arnie was a supreme warrior, show him all Arnie's films and then prove to him that Arnie is in office............like a king :D

    Somebody to worship Arnie with. :pac:

    I would impress on him the futility of answering hypothetical questions.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,572 ✭✭✭✭brummytom


    Give him a spliff, a drink and a copy of Zoo magazine.

    That'd get him adjusted alright


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,939 ✭✭✭mardybumbum


    Bring him to Coppers


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,222 ✭✭✭robbie_998


    i'd get him up to date with the latest clothing

    tracksuit, nike runners and some jewelry :pac:

    First I'd have him deloused, then I'd introduce him to modern hygiene standards. While we were doing that I could explain some of the concepts behind hot and cold running water, which would lead nicely into electricity, lights, television and the importance of keeping the front door locked if the TV license inspector calls. I'm sure he's heard the excuse about being revived from ice after a thousand years.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,070 ✭✭✭✭My name is URL


    I'd take him to Mega Mountain to check out some fresh nugs, bud-dy!

    I'd call him Steve.


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 35,731 Mod ✭✭✭✭pickarooney


    I'd just get him to say random stuff and let everyone laugh at his accent.

    Perhaps not a Disney movie but Brendan Fraser starred in such a movie called California Man and it was great.

    Introduce him to a modern scumbag.
