The '80s, Encapsulated

Field correspondent ExplodyBones took this picture and sent it my way.  Click the picture to enbiggen.


3-2-1 Contact was a PBS show in the 80s which had the intention of fostering interest in science.  This episode is apparently about a young man who survived an hour of submersion in icy waters and explained the scientific reasons behind his survival.  That's not why this is here.  It's the 80-ness of the whole thing.  The clothes, the glasses, the colors,the... everything.  It's amazing what we can convince ourselves is a good idea.

BTW, yes, that is a stuffed panda nailed to the wall.
