The obvious conclusion is that 1969 never existed.
If only they had kept the safe in a safer place… could’ve safed them some embarrassment…
This is what happens when you hire Geraldo to host your time capsule opening.
This reminds me that we buried a time capsule in elementary school around 30 years ago and I’m fairly certain it has never been dug up and now I wonder if they even had plans for making that happen or if anyone working there currently even remembers it.
It’s a glitch in the program. The contents of that safe are inside a rock somewhere outside the instance of the town hall.
Slow news day?
I was about to suggest that writing the combination on the back of the safe may not have been the most secure strategy in the world, but I’ve had my passwords Post-It Noted to my monitor for years, and everything’s fine here.
It was moved to @beschizza’s safe.
I was hoping to see some mid-60s dank carpet.
just wait 50 years, someone will log in and all the files will be gone!
nonsense. it’s clearly full of the Boomer generation’s promises.
I already saw the ending to this one.
If you can remember 1969, you weren’t really there.
Finally, hard proof that the Apollo 11 mission was staged.
Sadly, any time capsule buried in this era would be similarly empty.
Q: What happens now?
A: Well now, uh, Lancelot, Galahad, and I, wait until nightfall, and then leap out of the time capsule, taking the future by surprise.
Q: Who leaps out?
Time capsule from 1969 opened and (drumroll) nothing was inside!
I disagree. Inside was air from 1969! Get a whiff of that incense. And is that burnt banana skin I smell?
Of course 1969 existed. That was the year Candle Cove aired on TV.
