What if Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers, a show from the late 80s, happened about a decade earlier, in The '70s? The Rod Squad--In Color! is the Fan Fiction answer to this question. It was written by The Enduring Man-Child of Home Is Where You Hang Upside Down fame under the pseudonym of D.B. Cooper.It all started out at The Acorn Cafe, the main Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers fan forum, when the Cafegoers imagined a 1970s version of CDRR. As an illustration, an artist named Kat drew a picture of Gadget in bell-bottom coveralls. This in turn inspired The Enduring Man-Child to write this fic. It was published around 1998.As for the plot, The Rod Squad is about Chip Baretta and his team being hired by baseball manager Charles O. Finley to try to find out who is behind announced riots against Disco music and stop them. That said, this fic isn't about the story, it's about 1970s lingo and 1970s Shout-Outs.The title is a play on the TV series The Mod Squad.

Virtual Soundtrack: Peter Frampton's Frampton Comes Alive plays as the Rod Squad boogies to meet Charley O. Seals and Croft play when they boogie to the gritty inner city to meet Foxy Glove. The Average White Band plays when they arrive.

Author Vocabulary Calendar: The Enduring Man-Child invoked one that's probably from 1979 and contains examples like: variations of "hassle" (20 times, and this is a short story) variations of "boogie" and "boogey" (11 times, all of which stand for locomotion involving a dune buggy) "gritty inner city" (10 times) "Right on!" (6 times) variations of "ripoff" (6 times)
