Just when Captain Buck Rogers thought his days of adventure were over (now that he was married, raising a bunch of kids, and had a normal 9 to 5 job).... and as he was driving to work, a dimensional portal open up directly in front of his 1977 Ford Country Squire station wagon, thrusting the captain to 17th century Japan, however this was not the Japan of the Tokugawa period that the Captain had read about in the history books, no dear reader, this was a Japan filled with strange animal beings that walked and talked like humans, and what was even weirder was they spoke English (but it was English that had a lot of Japanese words and terms). So there he was stuck in the mud on a dirt road with his Ford, dumbfounded as a Ronin Rabbit rode by on a horse with no name shouting "I am Miyamoto Usagi! I have come to save the day once again!"
Then, before the Captain could call out "Usagi, my hero!", there was a sudden flash of light and a phone booth appeared next to the Ford, and a couple of dudes in the phone booth were yelling "Excellent!" After another flash of light the phone booth disappeared and so did the Captain and his station wagon.... The Ford seemed to be riding on a rainbow wave and after yet another flash of light, came to a stop in what appeared to be a dark alley, with no phone booth or 2 dudes in sight. The Captain could hear the sound of car horns honking and cabbies yelling.... they sounded like New York cabbies. Just as the Captain was about to get out of his vehicle, there was a 'thud' on the rooftop and someone yelled "Cowabunga!" The Captain stuck his head out the window, and there looking back at him was a green face with a big grin.... it... it, looked like a turtle.... a mutant turtle....... a teenage mutant ninja turtle! It was at this time the Captain was beginning to think something strange was going on, because in the street in front of him at the end of the alley, a DeLorean came to a screeching stop. The turtle on the roof yelled "Pizza time" and was gone down an open manhole, and was followed by 3 other turtle ninjas and a large rat....the Captain's attention turned back to the Delorean where there were two guys, one looked like a wacky professor and was yelling something about a Flux capacitor, while the other guy looked a little bemused. Then there was another flash, as if a lightning bolt had just struck and the Delorean and the Ford were both gone.
Just as soon as the Captain was able to take a breath, he and his trusty station wagon were thrust through a dimensional portal once again and the Captain was on the road where this all began. The Captain was a little dazed, but decided he was still not awake, and must have been dreaming.... and made a mental note not to eat natto with french fries late at night ever again. So, he continued on to work, and when he arrived, his boss asked, "Rogers, where have you been? It's Tuesday morning, May the 26th! You've been gone a whole week! You've got some explaining to do!"
