Yep… scary 70’s fads… there were a lot of 'em, eh? \*\* twickster:\*\* If no one else remembers earth shoes, it’s because the rest of us have **blocked the painful memory.** 😃 The wording on the carnival question was deliberately ambiguous, to make sure there were enough possibilities, incidentally. I wasn’t sure it wouldn’t be the conch question otherwise. Heh. I am really impressed that so many of us have mentioned different SF stories. All utterly classics. I think it would be great to get together a low-budget, high-inspiration acting troupe and dramatize these stories in installments, so the SciFi channel wouldn’t have to show stuff like “Slither.” ---
