Do you remember the music The Ventures wrote for it?  My roommate 
painted a verbal picture of it just going around and around, singing to 
itself....

My husband and I didn't have a television set.  We were students in a 
two-room apartment, and it would have cost money, and after we had it 
it'd have taken up time that we needed for study and for work and for 
each other.  But we rented one for the moon landing.
