I never ordered that shit but my little sister or brother got Sea Monkeys.
As a kid, I designed an outfit for Katy Keene that got published in the comic.  | |

I had a subscription to Boys Life as a kid and horded my allowance to buy all manner of .88 cents gags. I had the fly-in-the-frozen-ice-cube, the fake dog mess, the phony brick, all sorts of trick gum (the 'pucker' gum was actually GOOD!) and, of course, the obligatory whoopee cushion. | |

Then, when they started dying off after a time, you could watch the whole hierarchy as they buried their dead. And they would put all the torsos in one corner, the heads in another, the legs in another, etc. It was weird. Then when there was only one left alive, there was no one there to bury him.  He just had to lie where he fell.
That sooooo sad!! I maybe remember the refrigerator thing.  I remember they were tiny little red ants each curled up in a little ball when they came out of the tube. It took them awhile to wake up. Seems pretty cruel when you think about it, but I guess they're just ants.  | |

No, I haven't, but always wanted to! Ditto. I went so far as to ask my folks how these things could see through clothes.  |

Yeah or that hot pepper gum to fool my friends. Were they kicking sand in your 98-lb-weakling face at the beach? |

It was odd to watch the whole thing, the funeral processions and all."I saw a woman with major Hammer pants on the subway a few weeks ago and totally thought of you." - sextonseven | |

i bought the sea monkeys. they were little tiny brine shrimp, not at all like they'd been pictured in the adverts.  still, even though they were sort of crap the part about ordering from the back of a comic book was rockin | |

I took my niece and nephew to the park on thursday and thought about twirling myself on the monkeybar for old times sake and realized I'd probably fall and break my neck. So I helped them up to hang from it instead. I think that's why people have kids. |
