A whole group of people chanting "Two Half Grande Lattes!"... Someone earnestly explaining to a student the painstakingly reconstructed artefacts in a circa Yr 2000 cubicle... A group of Il Fornaio waiter reenactors... A man playing the part of an Internet billionaire, wearing a white shirt, calf-length trousers and deck shoes... A group of people pretending to be day traders, saying "It'll hit the 110 support level and bounce back - classic head-and-shoulders".

       I thought the Internet stock market bubble *was* a re-enactment of the Dutch tulip craze.

       At least people ended up with some nice tulips at the end of the tulip craze.

       It was very late at night when I posted this idea - ...at least I didn't post "20th century Civil War reenactment societies Reenactment Society".

       You're probably right - maybe "The Internet Stock Market Bubble: The Musical" would have been more realistic (if a rather ghastly thought)...
—hippo, Aug 21 2001
   

       That would be an enactment society, wouldn't it? I get confused with time/space dichotomies... don't I?

       You mean "won't I?".

       Didn't I?

       Aahhh, excellent!
