Ex-Moderator | Today is National Sea Monkey Day!! You saw those crazy ads in the back of comic books: Immortalized in song by the Pixies: In a place they say is dead in the lake that's like an ocean i count about a billion head all the time there's a motion palace of the brine i saw the cloning of the famous family i heard the droning in the shrine of the sea-monkey palace of the brine beneath reflections in the fountain the starry sky and utah mountains they are swimming happily can't you see a life that's so sublime palace of the brine. I always wanted them as a kid and never got them, but my best friend did! We found out they're actually brine shrimp. Who love Sea Monkeys? |

Why did they call them monkeys, and why did they claim you could train them to do tricks?
Fuckers. The Normal Whores Club | |

Fuckers. You could! Sort of. It was more like getting them to do things with food they would normally already do. My friend was obsessed with them. They come with a little booklet and we would read it and watch them for hours. |

i had sea monkeys when i was a kid. the only tricks i ever saw them do was have sea monkey sex, make sea monkey babies and die.
which, you know, whatever - it cost five bucks. these days you can't even get a used copy of "teen wolf 2" on VHS for five bucks. | |

Oh my gawd! This reminds me of an embarassing moment.
I was on a business call, and client had this thing on his desk, well I thought it was one of those water wheels.. So I turned it upside down.. I killed all of his Sea Monkeys! Needless to say, I went out and bought him a new kit, and a water wheel! ^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect, it means you've decided to look beyond the imperfections... unknown | |

Damn it I have been wanting to do a thread on sea monkeys for three years now and somebody beat me to it. All good things they say never last... | |

I think half of my allowances over a four year period went to purchasing sea monkeys. As best as I could discern the damn things kepts dying en route. All good things they say never last... | |

3 years? You had your chance. Sometimes I like to craft these things, polish them and make them perfect. Sea monkeys are serious business. Oh to hell with, as long as someone is talking about them what does it matter. They are in the Org consciousness and that is what is really important. All good things they say never last... | |

Actually I think they are the missing link. Maybe this thread should be moved to P&R and we can get a good discussion going! | |
