Aw, geez. I just took my own advice, and guess what?
They brought it back! the pet rock is back. Well I think
it was ok for the lesser evolved human of the 70's
to find such a foolish thing interesting. I mean, what did
they have to do? what did they have for technology?
A toaster that did both sides of the bread? A black
and white TV? (19", which they thought was huge).
So alright you give those cavemen a rock and they know
what it is! But now?? I mean come on, one look at all the
pigmey tattoos, the fish hook-in-the-eyebrow piercings,
pants pulled half way down...you just KNOW people have
become too sophisticated to think of a stone as a pet!!
But again...70's people, they WERE stoned. So it made sense!
But now... no way man!! These are folks so smart they
think weird noises are music, the earth is flat and the
Queen is actually a reptile. Obviously they're too
smart to be fooled! They KNOW better than a pet rock!!
Well I just thought someone should stick up for them.
Besides, if one forgot to feed their pet rock, as I recall, it voided
the warranty or somethin'. I dont know, but by then, we had
moved on to more important things...Cabbage Patch Dolls,
disco, Tamagatchis...
