View Full Version : Sea Monkey
:( Ok this made me feel VERY OLD......
My niece and I were talking about her wanting a pet; she has wanted one for a while now and, as dutiful aunt has been eager for her to keep nagging her mom for one ;) (For similar reasons that I try to get the nosiest toys or things with a LOT of glitter or messy paints ;))
She then tells me that she wants’ sea monkeys?? WTF I had to blag it until I could look on Google as to what she was talking about so as not to appear "uncool"....... I must be getting old :(:( ... What happened to just wanting a rabbit?
sea monkey's are a bugger to keep i found mind you good for feeding to the malawi's lol.
I must be getting old :(:(
Don't know how old but I remember seeing adverts for Sea Monkeys in the back of comics in the 70's
The sea monkeys i had were scary! Actually i think they were called triops but very similar to sea monkeys, didn't realise they were a 'cool' pet to have this day and age. :S

Yup, apparently you can get different types of tanks for them now, space ships, sunken pirate ships blagh blagh.

Well you also had to be a bit of a boy i guess to read those Marvel & DC Comics of the day.
Did you never see the episode of South Park when Cartman was set on getting some...and his dissapointment when he did? Well worth watching to give you an insight into what your neice will go thru ;)

No apparently you can buy tanks that have castles in them for them to live in if you want.

they have got to be the cheapest and easyest (pets) for want of a better word to keep.

Yes, but completely pointless. I expected them to wander in, sit on their throne. Throw a party. etc.
They are just ugly crustaceans and probably won't even know it's there.

Nah, all she needs to add that stuff that Cartman sucked out of a hose with his eyes closed, and you'll have a underwater civilisation
