You've read about the Snuggie Drinking Game in USA Today. We've covered it here. Although we have yet to see a Snuggie in an episode of 'Intervention', we can now report that the Snuggie Drinking Game Rules Committee consists of Barry, Mike, Kevin, Heath, Chris, and Doc.

They've been putting in long hours at the local pubs, working overtime to get the Snuggie Drinking Game rules just right. Pictured above are the guys, waiting in anticipation for the next Snuggie commercial to air. I think they are raising a toast to all the imitators out there - but here we have the original Snuggie Pub Crawl.

After three years of sending ALL CAPS EMAILS, the Snuggie King discovers his CAPS LOCK key and the meaning of the word 'toggle'. Morale is high and the Oatmeal is flowing out of the corner office once again. All Hail, King Snuggie.

Snuggie Guitar Hero, not to be confused with Snuggie Air Guitar Hero, is the new craze sweeping the nation. Exhibit A: Dale

We caught up with Dale just after he completed his six song set. He tossed his axe to a roadie (it actually bounced off the couch, but in Dale's imagination his roady restrung the Les Paul with stickers, and all was right with the world). He swilled down an energy drink (named 'Dale' in his imagination). He wouldn't say, but the twinkle in his eye told us one thing - "Snuggie Encore".

Pulling a guitar pick out of his earthy Longaberger Basket, Dale produced a felt tipped pen out of a Snuggie Sleeve and proceeded to autograph it and throw it into the first row of the family den. Straight up - Dale would not be able to sign that pick in a blanket.

Dale quickly started nuking a bag of Orville Redenbacher's and then kicked in the encore, hoping to finish in the three and a half minutes that Orville requires. I waved my complimentary booklight in the air, which was a fortunate choice as the microwave blew a breaker halfway through 'Crazy Train'. Being the consummate Snuggie Guitar Hero, Dale shadow played the remainder of the song from memory as I sang and hummed along in falsetto..."We're going off the rails of the Snuggie Train".

You cannot contain the Snuggie Restless Arm Syndrome, you can only hope to contain it. The Snuggie Restless Arm Syndrome has been noted previously here, here, and here.

Pictured above is Michael as he is released from the hospital. He suffered from Snuggie Restless Arm Syndrome - the inexplicable urge to raise your hands when wearing a Snuggie. His syndrome has gone into remission, thanks to a steady diet of Star Trek Voyager episodes and stuffed animals. Of course, if you really want to keep your hands down, you could lay underneath those notoriously restrictive blankets.

Liana goes bullet time to avoid the odor emanating from Agent Flip Flops. There may indeed be no spoon, Keanu, but Agent Flip Flops is for real. "I need an exit!"

NOTE TO WORLD: The Snuggie has you.

Thank you to everyone that has sent in their Snuggie Sightings during month #1. Many thanks as well to all of the Emails, Tweets, Links, and Media Coverage that has given me more 'Warm Fuzzies' than I could ever return. This short walk down memory lane is a small token of my appreciation to each and every one of you. I could never do this without you, and I could never do this in a blanket!

The video was created using the amazing online tool Animoto, with music provided by Jay Condiotti - "I Made You Smile" (aptly titled, for this is the goal of the site).

Kristina returns in her Snuggie, this time at the local car wash. She's buffing her car with a ShamWow. Now that is "As Seen on TV" class.

We have to screen the photos we receive. There are the fake Snuggie Sightings that get sent in. Yes, I'm talking to you, guy who sent in the Photoshoped image of your co-worker standing in front of a pyramid in Mexico. You called it El Snuggie to add to the authenticity. You had me at hello, until I noticed that your co-worker was hovering off the ground and he was wearing a gray Snuggie. Excuse me? Snuggies only come in 3 colors, and Gray is not one of them. Nice try.

And then we get the more subtle fakes. Case in point ...

Three of the four 'Snuggies' appear legitimate, but the fourth is clearly not a Snuggie. It is a different color and appears to be a Backward Bathrobe. There is such a glaring difference between a Backward Bathrobe and a Snuggie. Everyone knows the two are worlds apart.

Next time you are celebrating your birthday, John, don't invite the Fake Snuggie guy. I'm just sayin'. Perhaps that's why you gave him the Jelly Jar to drink out of. "What are you drinking fake Snuggie guy?" "I'm drinking Welch's"

Useless SnuggieSightings.com Trivia: What website ranks #1 on Google at the time of this writing for the search term Backward Bathrobe? Mom is waaay proud.
