"Before you know it as the years go by, you're just like other people you have seen, with all those peculiar human ailments. Just another vehicle for temper and vanity and rashness and all the rest. Who wants it? Who needs it? These things occupy the place where a man's soul should be." -- Henderson the Rain King

Gremlins Lunch Box

Not too long ago I bought a Gremlins lunch box just like the one pictured below (thank you eBay). It even came with the original Gizmo/Spike thermos. I've been carrying my lunch to work in it most days lately and am quite digging it.

I can't remember for sure whether or not I had the same lunch box growing up, but I know I at least had something very similar. The amazing thing to me is how much smaller it seems now. Back in the day I used to pack an entire lunch in the thing and have plenty of space to spare. Now I have to take the thermos out just to fit a small tupperware dish with last night's leftovers. The whole experience is kind of like going back to an elementary school as an adult and realizing just how small the desks and chairs in those classrooms actually are...sometimes memories can be misleading.


Gizmo is a Mogwai. Spike is a Gremlin.

So that's where the band name Mogwai came from - did not know that :)
