Soon, your local post office will be able to lose your letters into "a dimension not of sight and sound, but of mind."

The U.S. Postal Service will release 42-cent stamps featuring classic 1950s television shows, including The Twilight Zone (pictured) and other cool genre shows like Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Dragnet, The Lone Ranger and that horror classic, The Dinah Shore Show.

The stamps are a limited-time release and arrive Aug. 11. If the USPS were thinking, they'd make them the old perforated-sheet variety that you had to lick. Sure, they never stuck to anything unless you nailed them to your letter, and they featured glue that tasted like Jack Webb's armpit sweat. But that would be a real throwback to the '50s, when men smoked and drank in their sleep, women were constantly making coffee and emotions were only for swarthy people.
