Snuggie Sightings
Making the World a Warmer Place...One Snuggie at a Time

Snuggies can slip and slide

Although rare, when compared with the blanket, Snuggies can also slip and slide. Here we have Miss Magical capturing this fashion rarity.

Dennis Kucinich in a Snuggie on Leno

I happened to be by my super-duper 19 inch non-HD TV, watching the Jay Leno show, when what did my eyes behold? It's Dennis Kucinich and Steve LaTourette wearing Snuggies, complete with their ties over their Snuggies.

[Photo not recovered: Steve LaTourette, R-OH and Dennis Kucinich, D-OH, get all kumbaya in their Snuggies. The first Snuggie Pub Crawl was also in Ohio (Cincinnati, Jan. 30, 2009...this is not a coincidence - these gentlemen know how to cater to their constituents)]

This is a new look, which we'll call Snuggie Professional - and if ever there was any concern for our government, you can now cast those silly fears aside. The Snuggie to the rescue!

How do you spell bi-partisan? S.N.U.G.G.I.E.

PS - Zapruder had a higher quality camera than the one in my Blackberry. But, I got the shot. He'd be proud.

Snuggie Parade

Snuggie Lady Jane DeNoble will be appearing in the Apple Harvest Day Parade this Saturday, October 17th at 1 PM in Martinsburg, West Virginia. I hear she'll be wearing a Custom Snuggie as she waves to the crowd. Fortunately she won't be wearing a soul-crushing, restrictive blanket, or waving would be impossible.

Here's more info from the local paper:
"At least one person will be warm during this year’s 30th Apple Harvest Day Parade. Jane DeNoble, aka “The Snuggie Lady” will be participating in this year’s parade. Jane stars in the cult fave TV commercial “Snuggie” – the Blanket With Sleeves. “I’ve been coming to this parade for years and am thrilled to now be a part of it”, Jane said. Earth Vibe Productions and Events, a new company that specializes in community and musically-centered events, including weddings, charity events, and an annual Earth Day Festival, is sponsoring Jane in the parade. So come on out to this wonderful parade, don your Snuggies, and who knows, you may even get a “Snuggie Huggie” from Jane herself. For more information on Jane DeNoble, visit her website at www.janedenoble.com."

Snuggie Sleepy Time

Not only can the Snuggie lower your heating bills, you can now toss those sleeping pills.

The Snuggie does more for R.E.M. than Michael Stipe.

Many thanks to @MissMagical for this Sleepy Time Snuggie Sighting. Something tells me we haven't heard the last from this Snuggie enthusiast.

43% of all Snuggie Sightings are Alcohol Related

Here's a recent submit from Molly, who I can only presume is the cool person on the right, wearing the Snuggie.

[Photo not recovered: Molly's caption read \'Ordering Zubas to match the snuggie...ultimate comfort and style\']

The screen on the laptop isn't too clear, so I'm not sure if they are ordering Zubas online or not. Not that I ever rewrite captions or embellish stories here, but I think either they are:

A. Having a cozy competition, seeing which is warmer - the Snuggie or the heat emanating from that laptop, or...

B. Auditioning for the TV Show 'Hoarders' - You know, the show that airs after 'Intervention' showcasing the plight of those that can't throw anything away. I decided not to crop the picture because there's so much going on here..the box, the pink thing to one side and a few other mysterious objects.

Since I elected not to crop, I had to shrink the picture down - rendering the captions by the arrows very small. For those with suspect eyesight, the one on the left reads 'Poltergeist for this generation' while the quote on the right reads '43% of all Snuggie Sightings are alcohol related'.

This Snuggie Kool-Aid is Delicious...

...may I have another?

[Photo not recovered: The most common Tweet related to Snuggie is - Is it just me, or does the Snuggie look like some kind of Cult Robe? .... It is just you.]
The most common Tweet related to Snuggie is - \'Is it just me, or does the Snuggie look like some kind of Cult Robe?\' .... It is just you. This is simply an unfortunate accident with Super Glue. No cult-like behavior here. Move along.

I wonder how well the Snuggie sells in Waco? I think cult leaders would do well to wear the Snuggie - you look harmless in the Snug, which may keep those pesky ATF tanks at bay while you also lower your heating bills.

Snuggie Marathon

I think it would be visually funny for there to be a marathon or perhaps a 5k race, where all participants wear Snuggies. Until the world gets hip enough for that, we'll have to settle for the random Snuggie Sighting in the crowd, such as this potential Snuggie Sighting

[Photo not recovered: If this is a Snuggie, the wearer is sporting it backwards and they have it cinched up. A Snuggie, when left to its own devices, will hang down on the ground, making it all the better to run a marathon in.]

Here's a note from KC, who submitted this pic:

'My first public Snuggie Sighting happened today at the Towpath Marathon in Peninsula Ohio. This spectator had it on backwards and all pulled up. Couldn't believe my eyes. I whipped out my camera as quick as I could to take a pic. She stayed nice in warm in her Snuggie as it was in the 40's today.'

So - what do you think? Snuggie or Robe?

The upcoming Philadelphia Snuggie Pub Crawl organizers show some mad Photoshop skillz, causing me to (as the kids say...) LOL when I saw their improvement on their famous Rockie Balboa statue (how awesome is it that Philly has a statue of Sylvester Stallone - I think some city in Texas should erect a Rambo statue. Dallas. I'm talking to you.)

Snuggie Awarded the 2009 Nobel Fleece Prize

You may have heard the announcement today of President Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize. On a much larger scale and of more historical significance is that Snuggie has been awarded the 2009 Nobel Fleece Prize for their efforts in freeing millions of people from the evil clutches of the blanket.

Fleece. Out.
