How about a slide show?

I've got the projector and screen all set up and ready to go!

"Bob, you're not going to show the old Colorado trip slides again?  Everybody's seen all those!"
"No, no...just a few slides in honor of Mike's birthday."

(Click of the power knob being turned to ON, the soft whirring of the cooling fan, and the sounds of the projector being adjusted so the picture's in the center of the screen.)

"Okay, this is actually a card we got from the Scowdens one Christmas."

"Aww!"

(Cli-CLICK!)

"This one's from Thanksgiving 1973 at our place."

"Look who's right out in front?"

"Yep.  That was a fun time."

(Cli-CLICK!)

"Ha!"

"Oops, gotta do that at least once.  Hang on, I'll get it."

(Sounds of the projector mechanism being opened manually, and the slide holder being removed, the slide being taken out, turned, and being re-inserted, and everything being put back right.)

(Cli-CLICK!)

"So okay, that's Mike and Kathy at the...wait, that must be from a few years ago.  That looks like a different house than the one they're in now.  I think."

(Cli-CLICK!)

"What's he doing here?"





"I think he was explaining to Victoria how McDonald's gets the eggs round for Egg McMuffins.  Mike knows all kinds of stuff like that."

"What I want to know Bob, is how you remember trivia like that years later."

"Not sure.  Kind of scary, huh?"

(Cli-CLICK!)

"This...and the one before too...were taken at Aunt Timmy's 80th birthday celebration."

(Cli-CLICK!)

"Well, not quite as bad as the other one.  Wait a sec."

(Sounds of the projector mechanism etc., etc., etc.)

(Cli-CLICK!)

"There we go.  Dave and Mike, same evening."

(Cli-CLICK!)

"The gang!"

But you know, what's weird is that I couldn't find any of Mike on one of his birthdays.

Mike, I hope you had a Happy Birthday!  With cake.  And all.
