Science is looking at ways to upload our brains into intelligence collective or somethingorother. You will exist forever. Now I love life. I wouldn't mind X number of extra years but... If I can't bring my fart cushion, joy buzzer, and rubber poop from the Johnson Smith Catalog with me I don't want to go!! I'll forego the X-Ray Specs. They never worked, anyway  |

What if we already do exist forever, as disembodied souls, or reincarnations, and those scientists will trap your consciousness in a computer forever? Science messes with us enough already (looking at you, Monsanto) - I prefer to die naturally and see what happens, even if it's nothingness!

Actually, I agree. I'm already beyond my mortality rate or date. My feeling, whenever I hear this tripe, is that my thoughts may exist forever in some computer, but it's not me.
Another scientific conundrum is the thought that we are living in a holistic universe. We don't truly exist beyond "I think therefore I am." That, if true, would imply a creator, something lost on many scientists.
I didn't really mean to wax serious here. Just worried about my fart cushion

Your x-ray glasses don't work? Mine do, you should ask for a refund.

I got glasses that were supposed to make regular TV 3-D. Instead of a red lens and a blue lens like with old-school 3-D glasses, these were green and yellow. Didn't work even a little bit.

What peed me off at the time was even though they didn't do exactly as I thought, half of the lens areas were covered with X-Ray Specs in big letters. I don't think I could have done a better job of advertising being a loser as wearing those trying to sneak a peek |

Now we know why they didn't work. You are supposed to unwrap them before wearing. Kids...

I loved them comic book ads as a kids... them retailers knew how to target us!
I really didn’t need them though when I saw Ann Margaret walking away from Elvis in Viva, Las Vegas! in the white shorts... at that point in life I had an eye clarification experience.

I think I had everything from the catalog except sea monkeys. I loved magic tricks and stunts. I was a total monster as a child. MAD Magazine and Gomez Addams were my parents. Tish, now she was something else. Cara Mia!! |
