Snuggie on the Tyra Banks Show
The Snuggie train appears to be picking up steam. Last Friday, the Snuggie made an appearance on the Oprah Winfrey show. I am now seeing a lot of Tweets and buzz over the Internet about the Snuggie making an appearance on the Tyra Banks show. We’ll see if that happens. I wonder if there will be more Leopard and Zebra Snuggie Sightings?
I’ve got the Tivo set and will be posting clips and pics once/if this happens. And if I had to guess, I would say that Tyra will wear a Designer Snuggie – likely the Leopard Snuggie, but perhaps Zebra.
I even saw tweets about someone’s Snuggie song perhaps being aired on Tyra, so there may be a Snuggie Song getting ready to be launched. We shall see. I’ll keep you posted. And I’m glad to see Tyra trying to shake those off-base accusations that she copies Oprah. 🙂
OSHA Still Hearts the Snuggie in the Workplace
Josh and his warehouse friends are back. They liked being named the #1 Snuggie Sighting for Month 1 so much, they decided to throw their Yellow hard hats into the ring and give it another go.
For background’s sake, it may help if you checked out last month’s post aptly entitled ‘OSHA Hearts the Snuggie in the Workplace‘.
KIDS: Do not try this at home.
Here’s a zoom in on the marker board, with the Viva La Chair reference…
So, being the ever curious chap that I am, I did a search on “Viva La Chair” and found an obscure Gossip Girl reference. These Warehouse Snuggie Guys don’t strike me as Gossip Girl fans, but you never know.
Let’s see. Where was I?
Drilling in a Snuggie never gets boring (get it? Boring. He’s drilling holes – as in ‘boring’ holes…oh, never mind. I guess I’ll sit alone in the Pun Zone.)
So there you have it, my friends. The Snuggie Warehouse guys are back in action, staying warm and cozy, and keeping safety in mind at all times. I will leave you with one final shot from the warehouse. At first it appears to be your run-of-the-mill guy in a Snuggie pushing a dolly pic. But look closely.
When Josh emailed these, he ‘apologized’ for their large size, but he knew how I liked to zoom in on things and point stuff out in the background. Hmm…could that have been a little nudge and a hint to me? Well, I fell for it. Let’s take a look-see on that box…well, would you look at that?!
You know what to do …
…or maybe you don’t. Click here to check out these guys’ ill-advised and crazy antics on YouTube. And don’t try any of it at home, in a Snuggie or not. These guys are obviously trained professionals. You have been warned (please don’t sue me).
Snuggie Shocker
Here is Tim, sporting the ever-rare Green Snuggie. He hoists a High-Life in one hand while flashing the Shocker with the other…or so he says. Perhaps he lost that last knuckle on his ring finger messing with the cool Indoor Birdhouse. Every home needs an Indoor Birdhouse. You decide – Shocker…or Tragic Indoor Birdhouse Accident? Regardless, the Snuggie eases all pain (Tim’s High-Life is on standby, just in case things get …wait for it…out of hand… bwahaha…sorry about that. It’s late.).
From Wikipedia (and I’m dead serious, I couldn’t make something this cool up) – ‘The Shocker should not be confused with similar looking hand gestures, such as ‘The Pitchfork’ which is a hand signal used at Arizona State University. (notice the spacing between the index and middle finger).’ … So let me get this straight. The Pitchfork is like the Shocker meets the Peace Sign. We are all now enlightened.
Now that I look at Tim’s pic again, and that spacing between Index and Tall Boy, I’d say he is flashing the Pitchfork.
