re: #111 Dr Lizardo
I was wondering how the hell anyone could get that mixed up, then I went and looked it up and saw that the Pet Rock craze was a six-month, one-shot fad in 1975. From about June ‘75 until Xmas of that same year and then the fad was pretty much over.
Damn good marketing, though; classic case of being in the right place at the right time. Made Gary Dahl a millionaire.
You’re right about how quickly the fad faded. The market crashed right after I bought a breeding pair.
