Quite possible. Or I've just completely blanked them out. Though I did go to a very poor elementary school where the current trends in young fashion were not quickly seen (I had second hand moon boots and white jeans years after they were at all trendy).

Am I the only one that thinks cheap flexible E-Paper is going to be one of the worst frigging inventions of all times?

Am I the only one who used to take these things and slap them around my....eh, never mind.

They are also currently commonly found as swag as conventions.
Comic con 2007 sported at least four exhibitors giving out slap bracelets to kids.

And come to think of it, I got one from Hot Dog on a Stick recently.

I graduated HS in 1980. I've never heard of them before.

Well, maybe if you turned up the volume on your hearing aid, gramps....
:evil:

Yes.

I'd peg the trend as hitting it's hottest in 1988/89, when I was in Jr.High, and in the white-hot center of it. I loved these things, and will never understand the backlash against fun trends once loved.

I have only this to say about slap bracelets:

They actually *hurt* me.

There's a word for you.... But I'm too much of a gentleman to utter it...





Oh hell... No I'm not... Bitch!! ;) :evil:

He was questioning e-paper, not slap bracelets (though maybe he doesn't like them either).

I don't have a problem with e-paper so much as with the ubuiquitous portable/disposable power supplies they'll require. Power production has a habit of being very toxic the more portable it is.
