OK, don't ask me what I was actually searching on the Internet for when I found this product. (LOL)But it struck a really strong "twang" in my childhood memory center, and I've decided to upload it here to remind myself of a long buried memory. I actually got one of these when I was a child, and was completely enthralled with it. I mean, wearing an aquarium around your neck...how cool was that? The problem was it had a major design flaw, the minute it was full of water and sea monkeys that little plastic stopper couldn't hold the weight of the glass bulb. As you can imagine, mine crashed to the ground on first wearing, splattering water and sea monkeys all over the pavement. I cried for those poor little dead sea monkeys for days. OK, I was only 10...but it was traumatic. Now that everyone has had a good chuckle back to the business of serious blogging. Maybe. :)
Curious are we? I guess you are if you are looking at this. Or perhaps you saw me giggling in some dark corner. Yes, I really laugh a lot. Wish I had a nickel for every time I've been asked that online. Irony is everywhere and most things considered serious are the things I laugh at the most. I believe in life the only truth is unconditional love, all else is vanity. Search and you will find me. In the National Archive of Newspapers. Looking over the produce at Piggly Wiggly. In a gallery or gift store near you. Standing behind you in line at the post office. You never know when I'll ask you "Can you help me start my car ?...I have jumper cables." You probably know me already, you just haven't MET me yet.
