Far off in the constellation of Kasterborous, on the yellow-orange planet of Gallifrey (galactic coordinates 10-0-11-0-0 by 02 from Galactic Zero)a group of enthusiastic technicians work tirelessly using their sonic screwdrivers, pimping up a Type 40 TT capsule in the style of a mid 20th Century, Earth-Style

Echo? Pun? Not an invention? I don't know. Made me laugh though. |

I'm not sure either, quite possibly one for expiry.... |

Does the word 'pimp' have a different meaning now? I only recognize it as "streetwalker's manager / minder". |

The architypal (blaxploitation) pimp is outrageously and gaudily dressed - hence to spruce, tart or otherwise modify something in order to enhance its appearance is referred to as an act of Pimping. I Pimp, You Pimp, he/she it Pimps. In addition, once someone has performed an act of Pimping on an object (more often than not a vehicle of some kind) it can be referred to as having been Pimped, or occasionally; Pimped Up, or Totally Pimped Out. |

All is made clear. Yet another reason to be grateful for lack of access to MTV. |

[the_both_of_yous]: well put. |

With all due respect could people please stop pimping things. Many things are perfectly fine unpimped. Upon happening on this idea I almost posted "Pimp my pimp" in which a "streetwalker's manager" is given shiny lights and a fancy paint job, and is used to carry people, much like a horse. |

Why can't the doctor go back in time and stop the time
lords from being exterminated! |

It depends on the time-travelling science fiction conventions he's living in. If it's
a) The <<<Back-To-The-Future model, then he's got a chance, but only for a short period of time before things start to 'fade' away.
b) The 'Sliders' multi-worlds model, then anything goes, and it really doesn't matter anyways.
c) The self-sorting model, where things that have happened must have happenend already, in exactly the same way they happened in the first place - or something. Like that story where the time-travellers go back in time and watch Jesus being crucified, only to realise that the croud shouting for Barrabas was made up exclusively of time-travelling tourists, who were trying really hard to blend in. |

[basepair] thinks everything is magic. The category is culture: television: series, not product: time travel and teleportation device. This is the only halfway decent "pimp my ____" idea I've seen so far. |

I love [hidden truths]'s anno. "With all due respect, could people please stop pimping things." I've got to find an opportunity to use that one. Ideas? |

Fun but already done. Was Austin Powers' time machine not pimped-up from a VW Beetle to some hideous, bouncy-suspensioned pimpmobile for 'Goldmember'? |
