Comments on: What’s The Story With Sea Monkeys? http://www.thespeckledband.com/whats-the-story-with-sea-monkeys or “how did i get here?” Mon, 25 Jul 2005 02:38:07 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Cameron http://www.thespeckledband.com/whats-the-story-with-sea-monkeys/comment-page-1#comment-67 Cameron Sun, 22 May 2005 08:29:24 +0000 http://www.thespeckledband.com/?p=48#comment-67 Jay - It's easy to see how the conceptual artists and moviemakers get the ideas for many of their aliens. You just need to look at the insect and crustacean world! And some of those deep sea critters are hella scary! Deb - So you're telling me that Sea Monkeys are deeply religious? ;) Tyler - Their idea of "instant life" wasn't the same as in the cartoons though, was it? Come to think of it - and this could be mildly interesting to find out actually - I wonder if that whole "just add water" thing that countless cartoons had in the sixties are a result of Sea Monkeys and their manufacturers claims? There's bound to be a website somewhere devoted to it! Mmmmm, scuzzy greenish salt water. Yum! Disembodied Head - At least ant farms kinda looked cool. Pet rocks were just plain crap! And what about those fake rocks you can buy to hide your house key in? The burglars would NEVER look there now, would they!!! Anna - Yes, I read that somewhere. I shoulda posted on that day instead, methinks. Having said all I said about Sea Monkeys I do kinda like all those fancy fish bowl thingies they have on the site - even though the original concept is flawed and crappy. Thanks guys. Much appreciated. Jay – It’s easy to see how the conceptual artists and moviemakers get the ideas for many of their aliens. You just need to look at the insect and crustacean world!

I've got a little sister that's 13 now. I remember she had some like 5 years ago, I told her not to get obsessed with em, and she didn't. I went over to my moms's place for a visit and the sea monkeys water was all scuzzy and greenish. Needless to say she didn't get too into them or expect too much. I think she forgot about them. I remember I was excited I could get "instant life" when I had the little things. I had seamonkeys. I’ve got a little sister that’s 13 now.
