Frightening food and steampunk style

[vilakins]

And now for some more retro. Weight Watchers recipe cards from 1974: both terrifying and funny. I can only assume they were trying to put people right off food.

And some steampunk!

Your result for The Steampunk Style Test...

The Gadgeteer

29% Elegant, 66% Technological, 20% Historical, 40% Adventurous and 43% Playful!

You are the Gadgeteer, the embodiment of steampunk technology. Ironically, many of the things that most define your style are probably too large to easily carry about, but given the opportunity you would prefer to be seen surrounded by boiler engines, gear-driven calculators, and incredible automata. Of all the steampunk fashion styles, you place the greatest emphasis on technological accessories, and you are the most likely to create elaborate gadgets that are as much a part of your outfit as your clothes. You probably have goggles, but unlike most people you consider them to be for more than decoration. Whereas most people might look odd carrying a satchel of tools around, for you they may well be essential. Above all, you remind everyone that what sets the genre apart from Victoriana is simply the level of technology.

Those recipe cards - good grief. There's a missing episode of Life on Mars in that lot.

Ha! Yes, exactly.

My mum's got a 1960s recipe book that's scarily similar.

As long as she didn't use it.

I'd been thinking of something like the 'swingers' episode, but where Sam and Annie have to infiltrate a group of Weight Watchers. There's been a spate of muggings - "Give us your chips!" - near the WW meeting room, and, at his horrific first session, Sam begins to understand why...

...and objects to the blatant violation of the basic human right to eat food that stays down.
