This is an interesting concept, of two people being stuck in a time loop, presumably beginning with Chalmers' arrival and ending with his departure, and deciding to endlessly go through motions very similar to those they did on their first time through, most changes from loop to loop simply being comments on the precise sequence of actions they are repeating, save for when Chalmers asked that Skinner say Aurora Borealis Entirely Within His Kitchen.
