This is a gull-winged, 170-horse open sleigh. Since it has a flux capacitor under the hood, you can go dashing through the snow and even TIME ITSELF, laughing all the way.

When Used

You study the controls on the time sleigh. Looks like they only have three settings:

Crimbo Rock
CrimboWeen Town
Crimborg Collective

MUSH!

You set the controls and push the button. Reality warps briefly around you.

Notes

  • Will probably only last until Crimbo Eve, as Uncle Crimbo mentions he will need it back.
  • Changes the "last adventure" link to reflect the proper time period, if one's last adventure is in a Crimboween zone.
  • Allows instant access to the three Crimboween areas upon ascension - one needn't consume another chocolate lump.
    • If you attempt to click on the "last adventure" link after using the sleigh, but before the link updates, you receive the message "No way, yo."
    • If you attempt to set the controls to an invalid setting via URL manipulation or remote form submission, you receive the message "Invalid setting. There are only three options, jeez."

References

  • The time-traveling DeLorean DMC-12 from Back to the Future had 170 horsepower, gull-winged doors, and employed a flux capacitor.
  • "170-horse open sleigh" is a reference to the one-horse one from the song "Jingle Bells", which also mentions "dashing through the snow" and "laughing all the way".
  • The mention of the ability to travel through "TIME ITSELF" is a reference to the Rocky Horror Picture Show, when Dr. Everett V. Scott claims Dr. Frank-N-Furter has created "A device which is capable of breaking down solid matter and then projecting it through space, and who knows, perhaps even TIME ITSELF!"
