at my local mall, next to natural wonders, there was a spencer gifts

they sold orbs, lava lamps, and bawdy tshirts:


I have had one of these. "Eye of the Storm".

My mom got it for me one Christmas or birthday in the 80s. I was sooo stoked. There were cheaper copies later but the original was the bomb. You could turn it on and play with the settings but it also allowed you to set it to move to music. That poo poo is plasma inside!

I had abandoned it home finally but I think mom kept it and last I looked it still worked.

Is there, in the end, nothing that orbs cannot teach us? Yes, probably. But still. Orbs.

I always wanted an orb but my parents denied my wish.

By the time I had my own job the orb stores had closed.

For All Mankind
In the 90's spheres were not trying to take over the Something Awful forums. We can't just look at how orbs (which are really just spheres, come on, everyone thinks this and we can acknowledge it) were then when the situation with them has changed so much.

I take solace in the fact that one day the entire universe will collapse into itself, and then for one brief, beautiful moment we will all become Orb,

We are made of orbs (atoms = tiny orbs)

Earlier someone mentioned those tiny things...I think the brand name was Zorbs. They were very small plastic balls, but you put them in water and they'd expand.
They were advertised on TV, but let me tell you what -- they were not as cool or exciting as I thought. They are probably good for something, but I don't know what.
