[Liberal Veteran]

1. I do....I feed them to my fish!

:)

[XanaDUer]

3. I had the live ones as a kid...

the frozen ones for my fish as an adult.

[alittlelark]

5. I do the same. They are soo simple

When I was a kid I thought they were cool!!! Now I realize they are just FOOD.

[New Earth]

2. my older brother did

i still don't understand what they are.....are they really alive? :shrug: :dunce:

[XanaDUer]

4. Yup. Brine shrimp

nowhere near as exciting as the packages and ads imply...

[ruthg]

7. They made me the cynical bitter creature I am today ;-)

They looked so cool on the package and then...well... you know.

[XanaDUer]

8. Yes, I know

Remember the ads? WOW!

I wanted those cute things that had crowns and sat at teensy tables and did fun things...

Sea Monkeys broke my heart.

34. They didn't even smile at you? n/t

[bloodyjack]

6. Me.

Revolting creatures

After a while I didn't know what to do w/ them, so I tipped the contents of the aquarium into one of those man-made ponds you find on golf courses

[XanaDUer]

10. At least you didn't feed them to your fish...

you bleeding-heart liberal you!

[JohnKleeb]

9. I think my little brother had them and I did something bad

[Divine Discontent]

11. like pour them down the toilet?????? lol n/t

[JohnKleeb]

16. somethin like that but Ive forgotten

[XanaDUer]

12. Heh heh

What, if you don't mind saying...

[JohnKleeb]

15. I dont remember

[XanaDUer]

17. I remember a cat I had knocking the bowl over once

:eyes:

[kayleybeth]

13. My kid got some for Christmas a few years ago.

Of course the responsibility of caring for them went to me. They did great for several months then once when I changed their water they all went belly up. Had changed the water before and they were fine but for some reason this time it killed them all.

It was actually pretty sad. I had grown attached to the little guys.:cry:

[XanaDUer]

14. Can they live that long?

Wow.

I remember some type of stuff you had to add to tapwater before hatching the eggs.

[kayleybeth]

24. Mine lived for about 6 or 7 months

I don't remember having to add anything to the water but it's been a few years and my memory is not what it used to be!

I do remember having to order more SeaMonkey food from the distributor and if there was something needed for the water I probably would've ordered that too to use when the water was changed. Or maybe I forgot and that's why they died (oof!)

I thought the Sea Monkeys were cool, but my kid was kinda disappointed that they didn't have little crowns like in the ads, LOL!

[Aristus]

18. I had some when I was five or so. I remember being disappointed

that they were not the happy, grinning things depicted on the packaging. But I got over it, and started to like them. When my mother overheard me calling them by name, she said to my dad: "I guess it's time to get him a dog."

[XanaDUer]

19. LOL!

Great post! :)

[Bluebear]

20. Cripes what a letdown THEY were! (see ad here)

[Aristus]

21. Okay. Was anyone ever actually able to TRAIN those little suckers?

False advertising, man!

[Bluebear]

22. FREE living plasma!

[Liberal Veteran]

23. They all have lots of little boobies on their chest...even the men!

:D

[Aristus]

25. Yeah, but didja notice, the adult male and female have their

sea-monkey crotches modestly covered? B-)

[XanaDUer]

28. Yup. SMs are good, upstanding

white-bread WASPS-not only do they not fornicate, they don't even have genitals.

That is why you have to pour them into the special brew that you add to the water and let sit for 24 hours before adding them.

[Bluebear]

27. The blonde looks like Ann Sea-Coulter

[XanaDUer]

29. Naw, that sea monkey is prettier

shaplier, too.

[XanaDUer]

30. Actually, the human female looks like Flo Henderson.

...

[XanaDUer]

26. THAT"S IT!!!!!

Yup, what a letdown...

[XanaDUer]

31. Kick

for the day crew!

[meganmonkey]

32. Geez, people can be so mean sometimes

My cousins are seamonkeys, people! Flush 'em down the toilet? Food?!
How cruel!!

:P

[BikeWriter]

33. I've raised them for my fish a number of times. n/t

[seemunkee]

35. HEY, treat my brethren with respect

Seemunkees are the greatest creatures on earth.

[AlCzervik]

36. I kept them right next to my rock garden.

37. Sea Men

a la southpark. hilarious.

"That guy on the corner was an idiot! I totally suckered him. He said I could have all the Sea Men I wanted, all I had to do was close my eyes and suck them out through a hose."

"Suck them out through a hose"

"Yep. Through a hose."
