Sea Monkeys


Utter bollocks. My life went downhill from there.

I thought they were Semen Keys
don't know what I was expecting from them...

While we're on the subject, X-ray specs. But I found out they were lying before sending for some.

I loved mine
didn't go so far as naming them or anything, but once the initial 'I can only see specks or is that the food' wore off and I forgot about them for a few days I became more interested as they grew bloody fast.

I had two pregnant one - cant remember if pregnancy affects the males or females - and was witness at the birth of 9 baby seamonkeys.

It was awesome...until we had a house party 6 months later and someone knocked them over and I didn't discover them until the next day.

Misleading Adverts!
I was PARTICULARLY excited to see the Mother Sea MOnkey as I planned on specifically keeping clothing as far away from the tank as possible.

When the 'brine shrimp' that sea monkeys really are starting to animate I was so bummed I thought I would cry. Each morning, waking up, expecting to see great big titted sea monkey ladees...no such luck.

Sea Monkey's SUCK!

The advert I posted used to be on the back of comics when I was a kid, along with lots of other ads for bogus novelty items designed to separate pre-teens from their pocket money.

Oh!
But they don't look anything like a monkey.

Did you call one of them
Bert Seamonkey?

@K2k6
No, but I bloody wish I had thought of that.

I'd like to see one trained
Perhaps you could train it to die in three days, as that's what mine always did.

Er.......
I misread that as "sex monkeys".

Come to think of it, I have a vague recollection of dreaming about our Bert last night...........

Unfortunately Fortunately I can remember neither the plot nor the genre of said dream.

Oh very fucking dear :o/ ?

About 10 years ago
curiosity got the better of me and I bought some Sea Monkeys. I just never got round to 'activating' them. I still have them in their plastic-wrapped extruded-statium-shaped container.

If anyone has any advice for what to do with 10 year old un-activated sea-monkeys, I'd be interested to hear.
