  1. That would make a perfect combo with the X-Ray specs that used to be advertised in Seventies comic books

    Mind you, also in the comic books was those Sea-Monkeys, the very idea scared the shit out of me.

  2. Sea-Monkeys on the back of Silver Surfers were the epitome of consumer envy when I was a kid.

    Just to look at those ads was akin to studying an indecipherable map hinting at the whereabouts of the Lost Ark. Great stuff.

    It may be a cat's whisker AM receiver, with low selectivity. When I worked on single-chip cell phones in the '80s, the official design goal was the Dick Tracy wrist radio. But then, you just want to talk to Breathless Mahoney.

  4. Fuck your wrist watch... all I want is to be able to sign out tonight before my feet feel like they're going to fall off.
