You forgot rogue comedians among the options, otherwise spot on.
is the red phone tuned exclusively to a 3 a.m. call included?
lemme check. please hold.
Is it a sign of being an old bastard that I actually remember that comic book ad?
SBP —
Yes. You’re old
Of course, I actually answered it and bought the products. ::sigh::

Ric
—but no sea monkeys. I hated sea monkeys just from the ad. X-ray spectacles looked interesting but I never sent the money.

Ric
Is it a sign of being an old bastard that I actually remember that comic book ad?
I’m pretty sure that ad ran for about 20 years, with only the price changing on top. So, not necessarily.
A clearer sign of being an old bastard would be if you’ve forgotten ever seeing that ad.
Of course, I actually answered it and bought the products. ::sigh::
Let me guess: they were somewhat less exciting in reality than they were in the ad.

SBP —
Well, yeah.
It is morally reprehensible to allow a fool to keep his money. I’m always broke, but of course that’s just a coincidence…

I always wanted the money-printing machine. Never sent off for it, though.
Although, I did once get some free Bonne-belle lipgloss, and a greeting card sales kit; and my sister knows all the secrets of becoming a teen model.
Hillary might could use one of those convincing cardboard Dukakis tanks.
Sadly, I never won a date with Chad Everett.
Ouch
Ric:
Sadly, I did buy the Sea Monkeys. You didn’t miss much. To be clear:
Sea Monkeys do not in fact play guitars.
There is no royalty among Sea Monkeys.
Most disappointingly, Sea Monkey women do not have breasts.
Damned brine shrimp.
I didn’t know Chad Everett ever guested on Star Trek.
Heh.

Little-known fact: the guy behind the Sea Monkeys scam was a Neo-Nazi.
#4 and #5: I remember the ad, but I never bought the products. Now those Airfix soldiers…
I, too, remember the ad, though it may have been in some old comics I had. They had one that had a fleet of ships as well.
My older brother sent away for the army men. He was disappointed in the results.
At least you guys signed up to get something cool. I signed up to sell “Grit.”
I’ve been keeping that shameful secret for decades.
“Yeah ok I totally made up that shit about being shot at….look! over there! a black guy!”

Them plasticky soldiers were good to line up and then toss little mud balls at them to simulate mortar fire. little mud balls leave authentic blast craters too, especially on concrete.
Yes, I was a lonely child.
Lisa – worse yet: look, over there a black guy… with a gun!
Oh.My.God. I think we’re going to have to go in for a corkscrew landing.
Hey, now, Grit was the Great Family Newspaper. Or was it Great American Family Newspaper? Google will tell me, since it’s my friend. The damn commie.
I found that greeting card kit in my
mothersmy newly purchased from mother’s estate attic. It might be worth a flickr set.I wonder if any of the dunning letters that they sent me would be there too…I’ll have to look.
I KNOW there are farging Sea monkeys up in there. In suspended animation, hanging from the rafters. I’m pretty sure I got a bite, and the neurological symptoms.
And the crew that eats a spaghetti dinner around me is in for some kind of john hurt surprise party.
heh, Lisa!
Those Bosnians are THE WORST SNIPERS EVAH!
Title changed…did the S&H Greenstamps folks get after you?
The little soldiers in that ad? There’s a reason why they could fit them all in a little footlocker: they were FLAT. F@#$ing two-dimensional. I lined the little sumbitches up and did a Godzilla remake on them. And yes, I’m STILL bitter, dammit!
McGehee: At least you guys signed up to get something cool. I signed up to sell “Grit.â€Â
Good Lord. That rag is still in business.

Laughs hard at #32.
