Way back in the 1980s... I used to see this ad in my magazines...

[Grim Reaper]

APL will be on your ass for weeks now that you misspelled your own name...

Are you going to cry about it? Apologies I was busy getting my Afroman lemon pound cake out of the oven.

 

[Moosakofsky]

Yep.....they were just a picture inside the lens of the bones in a hand......

Wow. And I almost bought a pair.

 

[Monad Portal]

Can a person not like sea monkeys? Jesus Christ

yes you cannot not like sea monkeys.

amen.

 

[Grim Reaper]

yes you cannot not like sea monkeys.

amen.

I'll do as I please.

 

[Monad Portal]

I'll do as I please.

and do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.....

 

[Monad Portal]

Damn you are old!

everybody had sea monkeys back in the day.

we used to ride them to school uphill both ways in the snow.

 

[Monad Portal]

Wow. And I almost bought a pair.

they worked for me.

I wore them to church and saw my priests dick in the stole room.

I always wondered if it worked... Well here's a video. Now I wish I had sent in for the plans... LOL

That's kinda lame, really. Limited by a vacuum cord.

I'm thinking electric motors and big RC helicopter blades.
Top of 55 gal plastic drums and a vacuum motor and a battery and that frame.
I wonder how jetski type propellers would do with air.

I had the x ray glasses. What a disappointment! Instead of seeing the neighbor girls titties all I saw was a generic picture of bones in someones hand! I got to see her titties anyway a couple years later,....but STILL!

Stop.

My sea monkeys ad was from the early mid 70's though. Same for the x ray glasses,.....and the hypnotism ring! And the giant bag of plastic army men that looked like it was made in some guys garage!

 

[Stone]

Wanna see the best Christmas Gift EVER? I wanted it so bad,....circled it in a big red marker in the Christmas catalog from Sears. Got it too. BTW.....you would probably have to be over 60 to know what Im even talking about with the catalogs....

I think I got it in about 1973.

that sounds more thought out than my wild plan.

 

[ULTRA MAGA]

There were a lot of weird ads like that back in the day. I'm still waiting for the peter pump I ordered in 1975. Starting to think it's not shipping.

 

[Damocles]

Tell that to the "teacher".

Why? Did she ask about it?

Nowadays you can add battery power and now that I have the idea I could seriously improve his design. Weak long stretch to the nose would stop it, need to be able to steer... Think of using the huge fans like on a bayou air boat... Shoot... Nowadays I might even add a gas engine... but regardless it would have been fun in the 80s... even limited by the cord and scootching around with your feet.

 

[AProudLefty]

She constantly makes the claim.

People have made human-carrying drone-type things. Been noticing the little micro-boats, too.
If that kind of tech was around when I was a kid, I would have been all over it.
Used to build rafts n stuff.
