All of a sudden tonight as I'm scanning the LF's I thought OMG, this is just like that Christmas I got that kit for the sea monkey's , and I'm thinking I'll get to watch this whole little family live in my fish bowl ( that's what they showed on the box) these cute little creatures, communing....BOY WAS I IN FOR A SHOCK!!!! it was dried up "sand" looking crape that never did a dang thing.....that is how I'm beginning to see this year of BB3!!!!Plus I feel like I'm stuck in the bowl with them, and I can't breathe!!!!!

turn off your T.V., shut down your computer, step away slowly, and take a deep breath....

I seem to remember my sea monkeys coming to life, but they were these little bug/things that I totally wanted out of my room....remember the mexican jumping beans? Now that is a sad life :-) I think that is a bit more like BB3, worms born into their very own encapsulated cell that they will never escape from, yeah, that sounds more like BB3...only, eventually the worm gets evicted.

Seamonkeys are brine shrimp...the same little buggy looking things you can get for fish food.

Of course, that does not apply to our own resident TVCH Seamonkey! :)

Wow, you two are depressing me. :(

I desperately wanted those sea monkeys when I was a kid. I was going to let them grow up to be as big as a horse and then I was going to ride them around the world.

I had those stinky things too, they're brine shrimp. I just googled sea monkeys and they are marketing them the same way to poor unsuspecting youngsters. You know, the picture of the SM family lounging around in the bowl. I think I recognized Gerry.

the sea monkey ads were always on the back of archie comics and i wanted a set of them sooooooo bad! i found out in adulthood that they were brine shrimp and i am STILL disappointed. tvch seamonkey makes up for it though!

Lol SanFran. I did see that episode and it was funny.

And, um, don't the HGs remind you of Seamonkeys?

you know, there should be an america's choice in which the house guests got the opportunity to have a blast from their past (or from mine if these don't sound familiar to you!):
a. sea monkeys
b. silly putty
c. a fake doctors bag with candy pills inside (how incredibly inappropriate was that!!!)

how was that, sanfran?

The HG's could use some seamonkeys. You actually have to tend to them some, and it might make them turn into more responsible human beings. But the again, the poor lizards...

BTW, now seamonkeys come in an executive set for your work desk. A fancy little container and everything!

actually karuuna, the hg's do remind me of sea monkeys--they seemed so cool at the beginning and now some of them are pretty darn disappointing.

Yes they do Karuuna. But Sea Monkeydom is only something that Marcie can aspire to.

an executive set??? wow! i know they are just brine shrimp and not a cute little family, but i am getting kind of excited...

OH, I know how to liven the show ... next competition give them each their own 'realistic' baby (like they use in Parenting classes) and whoever takes the best care of theirs wins PoV ... of course, they could all be rigged with radio controls so BB could really mess with them whenever they wanted!! LOL

Pie_eyed - I think the higher form of life known as Sea Monkeydom may be a little out of Marce's reach. :-)

Draheid - Did they do that in a UK BB or something?

Oh, the ant farm story brings back a memory, the first Christmas after my husband and I were married, my mother in law told me about the christmas my husband wanted an ant farm, she had 5 children, so christmas was pretty hectic, needlees to say, the ant farm came with that certificate to send off to get the ants...(and allowing 6 weeks for delivery) soooo things were a little hairy that day,lot's of whining.....alot like my experience with the sea monkey's.....and yes the HG's of BB3 remind me of sea monkeys!!!!!

Sanfranjoshfan: I have no idea if any other BB has done this, but I think it'd be funny ... especially the 'magic button' tricks ... middle of the night ... during meals ... WC visits ... middle of heated strategy sessions ... anytime it's most inconvenient for the HG's!!! :O

While I was waiting for that idea to post i thought of something else from our childhood....let's give them "clappers" those big hard, balls a strings ...the ones our schools outlawed....let them knock each other out and the last one standing is the winner!!!!OMG, now I've really dated myself!!!!

I was never a sea monkey fan. Creeped me out. Ick. I always thought they could crawl out of the bowl.

(btw, this is in no way a reflection on the poster "seamonkey" who I feel is a great poster on the board) :)

Ouch, Suitsmefine, that hurts my wrist just thinking about those things. Weren't they called "Klick Klacks" or something like that?
