Hope that helps!

But do you have to wear those special glasses to operate it?

Mark Padgett: Do those X-Ray glasses really work? When I was a kid I always saw them advertised in the back of comic books. I remember ripping the advertisement page out of an Action Comics #1 (June 1938). The comic was about some guy who dressed up in tights, and wore a cape. I knew that it would never become popular, so I threw it out after I read it.

The Onion gum worked. The black soap worked. The itching powder worked. The X-Ray glasses HAD to work. They were priced beyond my allowance, but if the other fine products came as advertised....

I knew most of them existed. The fake puke, which apparently must be commanding a steeper price, was the creme de la creme of this type of novelty.

I haven't been able to log into the Arbiter using the default browser on my Moto Droid. I can get in using Opera Mini 5 on the Droid and it works fine. I just wish I didn't have to install a third party browser only for this purpose. Maybe the 2.1 Android push that Verizon is pushing this week will alleviate my issue. We'll see.

They were called "X-RAY SPECS".

If you really want to still get all that stuff, try these guys. I've bought stuff from them for years. You can get on their catalog mailing list, too. It's really cool.

See what I mean? They were a WHOLE DOLLAR! I could get 20 packs of baseball cards for that!

Yeah. What kid wouldn't enjoy seeing a Johann Sebastian Bach Acton Figure under the tree on Christmas morning? Does he come with Kung Fu grip?

I forgot, there are still people alive in their 60s. :D
