Connie the Snuggie Zombie
Connie, on the set of 28 Snuggies Later
Connie’s loving daughter, Caitlin, sent in this ultra high-resolution cell phone Snuggie Zombie Sighting. Caitlin and her friends have dubbed mom the ‘Snuggie Zombie’.
I’m just guessing that it will be hard to find the Snuggie Zombie section at the local Hallmark Store, come Mother’s Day.
Goodwill Treasure Hunt Gold … all thanks to my Snuggie!
Emilio sent in this snap of his latest Goodwill Trophy.
Emilio admires Sally Jessy's eye wear. Sally Jessy admires Emilio's Snuggie.
“During my Pre-Snuggie days, which I refer to as my own personal Dark Ages, the book selection at the local Goodwill consisted of multiple copies of John Grisham, and that mostly complete Encyclopedia set that I’ve had my eye on for the longest time. Then, I wore the Snuggie on half-price day, on the Yellow Stickered items only, mind you. And BAM! Sally Jessy Raphael’s book practically lept off the shelf into my unrestricted hands…And look, I get goosebumps just thinking about it, although I’m toasty warm in my Snuggie. Here’s a Yellow sticker on the spine. Half off! Coincidence?
…and get this. The title of Sally’s book – “Sally: Unconventional Success”. You could say the same for what I’m wearing – “Snuggie: Unconventional Success”. Coincidence? Goosebumps.”
We left Emilio to his shopping, who ended up taking home that 1990 Brittanica set with only the letters ‘Q’ and ‘L’ missing. Whoa – 1990 was also the year Sally’s book was published. Coincidence? Goosebumps.
NOTE TO THE YOUNG AMONG US: Sally Jessy Raphael is not a lesser-known Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. She hosted a talk show in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and the book that Emilio is holding in his Snuggie hands currently ranks as the #2,573,380 best seller on Amazon.com. Sally’s still making a cultural impact.
Snuggie PSA – Friends Don’t Let Friends Wear Their Snuggie Backwards
Backwards Snuggie Sighting 1
Brian, despite appearing ultra-intelligent, is wearing his Snuggie backwards.
There’s something in the air in Snuggie Nation. We’re starting to receive photos of Snuggie Rookies wearing their Snuggies backwards. This is of great concern because when you wear your Snuggie backwards, it loses all of its special powers and is rendered an impotent, beltless bathrobe.
And was it not just a day ago that we posted the Snuggie Injury video of the young lady going Vertigo-and-Here-We-Go; all because she wore her Snuggie backwards?
The backward Snuggie trend must be stopped. I mean, come on! Even Matt Lauer figured out how to wear the Snuggie properly!
So with that said, I am creating the first ever Snuggie PSA – Friends Don’t Let Friends Wear Their Snuggies Backwards
Backward Snuggie Sighting 2
It may have been your best Valentines Day Ever, Michelle (Snuggie + Diet Sunkist = Good Times), but turn that Snuggie around. You are setting a horrible Snuggie example. There are small children and dogs watching!
Backwards Snuggie Sighting 3
Michelle's son carries the backward Snuggie habit into the second generation. Do not blame this little apple, whose only indiscretion was to fall not far from the backward Snuggie Tree.
