Let's Do the Christmas Time Warp

[tearsinnajar]

[In one corner of the Mess Hall, there is a ratty old couch placed in front of a rather old television. It's showing programs as old as it is.]

My word, look at everybody's hair.

Okay, I'm pretty sure this is older than I am.

[tearsinnajar]

I'm thinking that's a good guess.

[reach_within]

[sits down heavily on the couch]

Where did they even get this stuff?

[tearsinnajar]

1984? Maybe there's an old videotape in the VCR.

[2nd_slinger]

Just like home.

[tearsinnajar]

The bad hair?

[2nd_slinger]

...

I mean the picture an' sound quality.

[tearsinnajar]

Having to adjust the antennas is a little nostalgic.

[staring at it very intently]

[tearsinnajar]

Evening, Altair.

[eaglegenius]

This is normal to you, isn't it?

[tearsinnajar]

You mean the television? Yeah, in fact this is a lot like what I grew up with.

[ensorcells]

Apples and mayonnaise?

[tearsinnajar]

I'm concerned about the high percentage of recipes that call for Velveeta.

[ensorcells]

I didn't even know Kraft made preserves.

[tearsinnajar]

Neither did I. They really shouldn't go anywhere near melted cheese product.

[eaglecocktail]

What are those?

[tearsinnajar]

The ghosts of Christmas specials twenty five or thirty years past.

[eaglecocktail]

... Neat.

[LOOKS AS THOUGH HE'S NEVER SEEN THEM]

[tearsinnajar]

The Sesame Street special is pretty old. Mr. Hooper is still alive in it.
