Brian wrote in to share about his recent Snuggie Camping Trip.

I was just sitting there, hanging with my football and my Bota Bag. I had the ShamWow on standby in case the Bota sprang a leak. I forgot that the awesome powers of the Snuggie would hold all bad things at bay. Not only did my Bota hold, we watched a rampaging Grizzly drop dead from a massive Bear Coronary once he entered the protective shield of the Snuggie.

Word to the wise, SnuggieSightings.com faithful, the Invincibility circle provided by the Snuggie is approximately 100 feet. I know what we are all collectively thinking…Mark Wahlberg really needed a Snuggie in ‘The Happening’ to hold the bad at bay.

Emilio sent in this snap of his latest Goodwill Trophy.

“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.
