"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.

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

Monica lifting the maximum in her Snuggie. If she were wearing a blanket, the back of it would rip in two, from the magnitude of her Snuggie lifting power.
By day, Monica is a mild-mannered college student. But at night, when she dons the Security Blanket of the 21st Century, the Snuggie, her strength goes through the roof. It has been documented somewhere, by a realiable anonymous source, that the Snuggie is more effective than Steroids in hitting long homeruns. Seven major league teams have already changed their home uniforms to Snuggie versions. Take that, Slanket!
And of course, there are other benefits to wearing a Snuggie. When one wears the Snuggie, the rules do not apply to you. Exhibit A:
Monica can litter in her Snuggie.
You can get away with littering in a Snuggie. Everyone is so distracted by the sheer awesomeness of the Snuggie, that you can pretty much do what you want. Speaking of doing what you want, Monica wants to do the Heisman. Do the Heisman, Monica!
To all the Snuggie-Haters, talk to my Snuggie Heisman Hand
The Snuggie gives you supernatural balance, as pictured above. And did we mention that it also gives you a free pass when it comes to littering?
Tada. I\'m afflicted with the Snuggie Restless Arm Syndrome and I\'m a Happy Little Litter Bug.
The Snuggie Collector - Scott sits on his Snuggie Mountain...all in Mint Condish. 3 Sherpas died last week trying to summit K-Snuggie. Scott is currently writing a book about the tragedy, entitled \'Into Thin Snuggie\'.
Imagine the Complimentary Booklights this man has! Be careful, Scott. We don't want you to get caught up in a Snuggie Avalanche. Of course, you would survive since you are wearing a Snuggie. All bets would be off if you were in a soul-crushing blanket.
Tony and Tony have been sequestered by Homeland Security after they figured out a way to mod their Snuggie Complimentary Booklights. Either that, or at least one of these Tony's has mad Photoshop Skillz (Lens Flare, anyone?).
The two Tony\'s send Light Signals to the International Space Station with their Complimentary Booklights. E.T. phoned home and he wants a Snuggie!

"What, Tony?"

"Let's Arc-Weld a Big Pipe extruding out of our wall with our hacked Complimentary Booklights."
Tony 2
"Good plan, Tony. Let's block a doorway with said pipe."
Tony 1
"Agreed. Said pipe will compliment our fridge magnet collection."

"Snuggie Complimentary Booklights...ENGAGE!"
Greetings to our BuzzFeed visitors, and welcome back to the regulars. We are currently on the front page of BuzzFeed - so why not provide a quick list of Best Of Snuggie Sightings for our first month?
The Snuggie Restless Arm Syndrome (i.e. the inability of Snuggie Wearers to keep their arms by their sides) is sweeping through the country. Pictured below is our first 'Little Person' Snuggie Sighting. We present to you, Tara.
Tinkerbell provides scale.
We remind our faithful readers that the Snuggie is one-size-fits-all.

We haven't had a great Snuggie Self Portrait since Alex!!!. Where Alex snapped his pic with his cell phone aimed at his reflection in his bathroom mirror (while wearing a stocking cap in addition to his Snuggie...think about that for a moment)...I digress. But today, we have Paul.
Paul is an inspiration to Snuggie photographers everywhere. Notice the clicky clicky in his hand. He framed this photo, and likely broke out the tripod to get this snap. Such devotion to Snuggie Sightings. We appreciate the hard work. Not only is he using a tripod, he also has his girlfriend on the very left, and his girlfriend's 2 daughters (the ones with the really, really, really big smiles - they obviously love their Snuggies) in the middle. Paul mentioned that the daughters drove 3 hours to be there for the Snuggie Photo Shoot. I'm glad the girls made it with their Snuggies. Imagine the tragedy if they had gotten there only to realize they left their Snuggies at home.

On Saturday night, February 7, 2009, roughly 25 Xavier basketball fans made the road trip to Duquesne in their Snuggies. Here is a monogrammed Snuggie.
NOTE TO THE SNUGGIE PEOPLE (and a hint to those out there that wonder if this is an official Snuggie company website): Do Sports Licensing and Customization options for Snuggie 2.0. I am hearing this request a lot and am passing it on.

Props to Pete for sending these pics, and to the Xavier Hoops fans. If anyone else has Xavier Snuggie Sightings, please send them in to get added to the Xavier channel on this site. And next time you plan a Snuggie Mob, be sure to mix in the Complimentary Booklights. Perhaps that's why the game didn't go Xavier's way.
