Night of the Comet (1984)
Since before recorded time...
it had swung through the universe in an elliptical orbit so large ...
that its very existence remained a secret of time and space.
But now, in the last few years of the 20th century,
the visitor was returning.
The citizens of Earth would get an extra Christmas present this year,...
as their planet orbited through the tail of the comet.
Scientists predicted a light show of stellar proportions,
something not seen on Earth for 65 million years.
Indeed, not since the time...
that the dinosaurs disappeared, virtually overnight.
There were a few who saw this as more than just a coincidence,
but most didn't..

Sonics
Allen keys another victory
By Percy Allen
Seattle Times staff reporter
For someone who spent most of his life on the move, the concept of home has always been a bit distorted to Ray Allen. His father built a career in the Air Force, which allowed him to spend a significant portion of his childhood on military bases in the States and abroad.
And now he is in another new and strange place. But as the days since the five-player trade that delivered him from Milwaukee melt away and the Sonics' winning streak continues, Allen is finding Seattle to his liking.
"Yeah, this is feeling like home to me now," the Sonics guard said after a 92-83 victory against Minnesota last night at KeyArena. "As weird as it was the first two games, now I see the same faces when I look up in the crowd."
"You have all of the consistent variables at home," Allen said. "You know your locker room. You know what you eat at home. You get your rest. You have your drive time. You keep yourself in your rhythm.
"On the road, it's a little different. You order room service, you don't know exactly what is what. You go on the road, you play in another building. Everybody is against you. ... At home, all of the things are stacked for you. You got to take all of those things. You've got to use them and let them motivate you."

Body found inside burnt shed
RENTON — Officials are attempting to determine the identity of the man whose body was found inside a shed that burned late last night in the downtown area.
The body was discovered as Renton firefighters were putting out the flames in the 10-by-15 foot wooden shed on the property of St. Anthony's Catholic Church in the 400 block of South Fourth Street, said Fire Lt. Larry Welch. He said the man apparently was a transient.

Night of the Comet (1984)
What's happening?
Oh, yeah, I guess you are a little confused.
God, you look terrible.
I ran away last night after she slugged me. Left a note and everything.
But I didn't have any place to go, so I spent the night
in a lawn storage shed.
It was pretty gross with the Synerol and everything.
God, look at this kitchen.
I'm not cleaning this up.
So anyway, since I was still here this morning,
I thought, hey, I'll go to pep squad practice and split after.
Except for I don't know if pep squad practice is on or not.
I can't get anybody on the phone.
Sammy, you can't get anybody on the phone because everybody is gone.
What? could you grab the milk, please?
- I swear to God! - You made me swallow my gum.
There's nobody. I mean, there's no body!
Oh, right. Nobody. I'm sure.
- Come here. - Hey!
Back off!
This sweater cost 80 bucks.
Muffy?
Stupid dog.
Look! Look at this!
- At what? - Doris isn't at Chuck's. I'll show you Doris.
Here's Doris.
This is all that's left of her, this and dust.
Look, here's Chuck.
Where are the kids?
It's Saturday morning. Where are the goddamn kids?
They're around.
They're not around.
Look, if you're trying to scare me, you're doing it, okay?
- I'm not trying to scare you. - Then stop it.
I'm not doing it.
You try calling someone. Not just your pep squad. Anyone.
Nobody's home!
Unbelievable, that's song number 16 on the survey this week.
Don't forget, we preview the top 20 every Friday night.

Final farewell for aging warships
By Rachel Tuinstra
Times Snohomish County bureau
EVERETT — They served together during the Gulf War. Each is credited with dozens of successful missions during more than two decades in the Navy.
But it's time for them to step aside for newer, more advanced warships.
Active duty for two Everett-based destroyers has come to an end and both are being honorably retired. Or at least semi-retired.
The USS Fife, a destroyer launched in 1979, was decommissioned last week and is headed for the Navy's "mothballed fleet."
The USS Paul F. Foster, launched in 1974, will be decommissioned March 14. Its next role will be as a floating laboratory, helping the Navy test new weapons systems.
The USS Momsen will replace the Fife and is expected to arrive at Naval Station Everett next year, said Rick Bartlett, spokesman for the station. Another new destroyer will replace the Foster, but Bartlett said he didn't know which ship it would be or when it would arrive.
After its decommissioning ceremony, the Foster will head for Port Hueneme, said Cmdr. John "Chuck" Nygaard.
The Foster also will be on standby for four months, then it will become a Navy laboratory, Nygaard said.
The Foster will be armed with experimental automatic weapons systems and sent out into the Pacific, where the Navy will shoot at it to see how the new defenses respond.
It will not be manned during these exercises, Nygaard said.
"The Foster will have a very different experience after its decommissioning than any other ship," Nygaard said. "It's going to be a test platform for new weapons."
It will be fitted with small anti-missiles designed to shoot down enemy missiles, Nygaard said.
"They are going to shoot live cruise missiles at it," Nygaard said. "The intent is for the new weapons to stop the ship from being damaged, but the only way to see if that will happen is for it to be truly tested. This will be an absolute test."
The ship will also test new rapid-fire cannons and 20-mm machine guns that fire at close range, Nygaard said.
