The Winner for January 9, 2001

Sea-Monkeys
Can you believe that Sea-Monkeys first came out in 1960?? Do you care?
I bought my first Sea-Monkey set from one of those grocery store vending machines, for twenty-five cents. The most amazing thing to me was that the Sea-Monkey "food" was just another freaking packet of Sea-Monkeys. Are these goddamn Sea-Monkeys cannibals or something?
Whatever the case, Sea-Monkeys are fun. Not only that, but they're easy to sneak into an apartment that has a no-pets rule. I have personally never met someone who has been evicted for having Sea-Monkeys.
Plus, to paraphrase Archie Bunker (on the virtues of the goldfish), when you get tired of them, they die. And they're even better than a goldfish, because you can't get attached to them. It's just impossible to care much about a bunch of moving specks.
All these amazing virtues make Sea-Monkeys the winner of today's award.
