To add a touch of music to this thread, here's a verse from a song that I wrote:
"We'd listen to the radio, and drink our Ovaltine
Decoding secret messages with our Captain Midnight rings
And for a box top and a dime, we'd wait a month or more
For a hand-tooled belt that glowed in the dark
Just like Lone Ranger wore
Yes, I had a secret decoder Captain Midnight ring. But my treasure was a grub-white, kinda squishy belt (with holster) that had authentic western designs "carved" into it of brands and steer horns that said The Lone Ranger on it. It was soft enough so that you could sleep in it comfortably. Never know when one of them pesky varmints might try to sneak up on you. :-)
