Do they still sell stuff in comics?
Don't ask me why I started thinking about this..been a strange week so far.
We never got comic books when I was a kid, but occasionally one would find it's way from someone less poor than us.
I used to be enthralled with the 500 piece army kits, so many pieces, pure bliss to think about for summer days on end. But I eventually grew out of it.
The biggest tease tho was the little machine that would let you put in a piece of paper, and turn the little roller things and out would come a dollar bill. I begged and begged for this, but Mom it will pay for itself! Life was so unfair, and apparently only I could see the logic in spending a few bucks and waiting 8-12 weeks for that once in a lifetime deal. I'm not real money crazy now adays, and in fact I think that ad may have been some kind of scam.
But far and beyond that were the xray glasses! And why did they choose a dorky kid looking at the bones in his own hand for their ad? C'mon man, you know what we wanted those for!
This one I haven't outgrown. I'm happily married for 6 (+10) years, but I still want those glasses really bad. I have no desire to fool around on my wife, it's just that I really want the ability to see all of my female friends naked without their knowledge.
Well, that's not quite accurate....friends, casual acquantaces (cellar really needs a spellcheck), women at the grocery store, cellaruettes, women news anchors....you get the picture.
I don't want to repress them, don't want to violate their rights, don't even want to talk too most of them, I just want to see their fun parts.
I know all the guys on board here are with me, I'm curious what the girls think?
