Velociworld: I JUST HAD TO GET MOTIVATED...

I JUST HAD TO GET MOTIVATED...

Check this out!

Here's a classic Civil Defense helmet on Ebay. That makes the ass pucker. It actually reminds me of the scene in The Time Machine, where the moon is disintegrating from overmining, or bomb tests, or some such, and huge chunks of Luna are raining down on London like meteorites. That air raid siren is blasting in the background, guys in civil defense gear are running around. Very scarring to a 7 year old, especially when coupled with flesh-eating Morlocks.

Here's a Soviet Civil Defense helmet.

So apparently they were afeered of us, too. Good to know, but I wish someone had fucking told me that when I was 7, dammit!

UPDATE: Elisson corrected my faulty recollections. Yet another reason to hate nuclear holocaust and remakes.

There, there, VGod. It was supposed to make you stronger. Nothing like a good fear to help a young man grow a pair. Today's kids need a good dose of something scary. Apparently 9/11 wasn't enough, so we have to trot out Anna Nicole...

Boah, you're confusing the 1960 and the 2002 versions of The Time Machine.

1960: An old Alan Young in a Civil Defense outfit, London, nuclear war in 1966, volcanic eruption.

2002: Chunks of Luna raining on New York's parade.

There's nothing like a three-minute siren to make the anus pucker, to us Cold War kiddies.

Yeah, nuclear war. I knew something was awry in my recollections. No way the FX existed in 1960 to show the moon breaking up. All the more reason I was scared of Armagideon.
