Thatkidsam's idea of "old-timey" really isn't what the others think...

==Transcript==

{''Thatkidsam walks into the TV room, carrying a white box.''}

'''THATKIDSAM:''' Icreature? I'm home! ...You better not have dumped the rest of my systems out of the window.

'''ICREATURE:''' (What, you still wanted them?)

'''THATKIDSAM:''' Ge- Ar- Okay, I'll spare your life one last time! Good thing I got this new computer... Behold! {''Opens the box and pulls out a system''} The Sega Dreamcast! And it came with a free E-Mail client and Skies of Arcadia! Man, that game is awesome! Now, let's start checkin' email! {''Singing''} ''If I had a golden email, I wouldn't trade it for a Sbemail!'' {''Inserts the E-Mail disc''}

<blockquote class="dreamcast">
Dear Shim-Sham-Sam,<br />
What would you look like<br />
as old timey<br />
Sincerlyelle,<br />
Jamie Ruskel</blockquote>

'''THATKIDSAM:''' {''A cursor appears, and Thatkidsam uses the control stick to move it and select letters to press''} J...A...M...I... Aw, heck with it. I'll just use a keyboard. {''Yanks out the controller and inserts a Dreamcast keyboard and starts typing''} Jamie, do you mean, like... A 1936 cartoon, or a '70s cartoon? You probably mean the '70s cartoon, so let's see...

{''Thatkidsam shuts the system down and puts in another disc. A title screen labeled "Artsy Fartsy Foto Editor" appears with a background of green mountains.''}

'''THATKIDSAM:''' {''His changes happen to the drawing as he says them''} Well, I'd have brown dreadlocks, and a long beard, maybe one o' them tie-died shirts and disco pants... And we'd finish it all off by giving me a peace sign necklace. Don't forget the shades and guitar. Then, you just put me on a stage, and make me play psychadelic rock!

{''Disco Sam is put on a stage in Club Discochocolate with spotlights on him, and among the audience are the Hippies and 1976 Coach Z, with hair. An Icreature with an afro and a beard is flying next to Disco Sam as 1976 Bubs (with hair) dances in the background.''}

'''DISCO SAM:''' {''30 second solo''} Thank you, Potamia! Our next stop will be in Unknown Lands, don't miss us!

'''CROWD:''' YEAH!

'''FASHIONMORE HENCHMEN & 1976 LAWRENCE:''' Boo!

'''HIPPIES:''' Dude, those party crashers are totally ruining this concert! Let's show them flower power!

'''CROWD:''' YEAH!

{''Cut back to Thatkidsam answering the email.''}

'''THATKIDSAM:''' Oh, man... That didn't turn out very well... Anyway, I'm gonna just play some Skies of Arcadia. {''Takes out the E-Mail disc and inserts the Skies of Arcadia.''} Alright! I'm about to fight the boss! WHAT!? How could I die already!? Oh, that's right. I can't play this with the keyboard.

{''A Dreamcast swirl unrolls a message reading "Click Here to E-Mail Thatkidsam @ [http://fanstuff.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Talk:thatkidsam.muffin&action=edit thatkidsam@thatkidsam.muffin]".''}

==Easter Eggs==
*Click on '''well''' to see how Fashionmore became so soldier-themed.

{''Cut to Vietnam. Several short clerks of Fashionmore are walking forward with machine guns.''}

'''FASHIONMORE HENCHMAN:''' People! We have to retreat, or the clothing made in Vietnam will not be made anymore! We wouldn't want to risk that!

==Fun Facts==
*Potamia and Unknown Lands were both in [[HRWiki:In Search of the Yello Dello|In Search of the Yello Dello]].
*Skies of Arcadia is a [[Wikipedia:Skies of Arcadia|real game]].

==Author's Comments==
*Rating: F-
*I really hated this email, because I really don't know what the '70s were like. I wasn't around then, and I didn't watch any '70s movies. Despite what the [[thatkidsam.muffin/1976|Disco 1976]] page says, there will not be any more entirely 1976-focused emails. Maybe just a little 5-second scene, but that's it.

=== Author Commentary ===

'''THATKIDSAM:''' Hello, and welcome to the old timey commentary. In this commentary, you will find the most-wanted answer to a question in the email show: Why this email sucks!

'''JOSHUA:''' Yep. This is one of the only two emails to get a 1/5 rating, the worst possible. It is also one of the only ones I've read, because of its horrible-itude. Now... this seems to be the beginning of a new "computer."

'''THATKIDSAM:''' I WAS going to have him have a normal computer at the start, but I couldn't get my camera to work, and I wanted it to be different than other shows.

'''JOSHUA:''' It's definitely different. Although I don't really understand the concept too well. Anyway, this computer got a bad start. And look, there you get confused with another Sam.

'''THATKIDSAM:''' Heh, he still read it as "Thatkidsam" though.

'''JOSHUA:''' Hmm... well, that's a little bit of trivia not mentioned in the email. You know, you probably should have stuck with the whole 1936 idea.

'''THATKIDSAM:''' Upon recollection, yeah. 1976 was a really, really bad idea. I just wasn't alive in the 70's, and I only know about it from The Simpsons. The curse of being 11.

'''JOSHUA:''' You can never trust cartoons. Trust me. Nowadays knowing what "old-timey" means is a no-brainer, because it's the official name. Now, here you pretty much just changed yourself into the basic hippie you see in cartoons all the time.

'''THATKIDSAM:''' These were the days when I wouldn't revise my emails. ''{Shudder}'' You should have seen the OLD version of electric stuff! And it still sucked in the final revision!

'''JOSHUA:''' It's kind of nice how you stuck Coach Z and Bubs in there, although you're nothing more than background objects. "With hair." How descriptive. Anyway, now here's a "thirty second solo." How descriptive again.

'''THATKIDSAM:''' Well, it's not like I'd put a song sheet on there or something...

'''JOSHUA:''' Yeah, I know. It's just that when you try to imagine this as an actual toon... it doesn't work out. Not that it's supposed to. And then comes some more stereotypical hippie stuff... Now I wasn't alive during this time period either, so this is pretty much how I'd picture it as well.

'''THATKIDSAM:''' Ugh... This email was painful for the reader and the writer. Thank crap it's over.

'''JOSHUA:''' Yep. One final attempt at humor... and then it's over. Short, but unfortunately that's a good thing.

'''THATKIDSAM:''' May this email rest in peace... Or not. At least it's dead.
