Yes, it's true, this daggit is actually a rat -- a pack rat to be exact! Just like a hamster or squirrel I stick everything I come across in life in my cheek pouches, for those "just in case" emergencies in the far flung future when you never know what you'll need!
This last weekend, my family FINALLY had to admit my rodent-like habits can really pay off sometimes. We rented SpyKids 3D just for the heck of it, and lo and behold, it came with TWO disks -- but not one fullframe and one widescreen as you would expect -- it came with one 3D disk.
Not being one to catch little details like that, I promptly plopped the disk into the DVD player and right away noticed the hallmark red and blue doppler-shift like auras around everything. "Oh no! It's 3D!!!" my daughter yelped. "And we don't have any stinkin' glasses!!!"
"Ah!!!" but I replied with that knowing adult yet childish grin, "let me just check my ham-ham cheek pockets dear!!!"
Seconds later I emerged from my computer lair with not, one, not two, but FIVE pairs of the absolute PERFECT 3D glasses you could ask for!!! Red on the left, blue on the right. And they STILL smell like bananas when you do the scratch and sniff!!! Not bad for paper and plastic frames from 1979!!!
What fun we had!!! I haven't seen a 3D flick since "Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone"! And it was SO FUN to have my family admit my silly habits pay off sometimes.
Oh, btw, even if it didn't take the red/blue glasses, I still had it covered -- I've got 3 kinds!!!
Cheers all!
