Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the Snuggie:
To put it simply, I cannot praise this perfect item of coziness more highly - its tagline is "American's Favorite Blanket with Sleeves" but it is so much more than that. Worn correctly, it is a fashion statement, made with your daddy or your best friend:
However, there's a time and place for everything, people. Let's not ruin the magical Snuggie by taking the idea too far, as demonstrated here:
Example one. You look like an armless yeti in a place with really sooty snow.
Example two. You'd better make sure Dick Cheney isn't in the area. Camouflage Snuggies can be fun and a little ironic on the couch (see my camouflage lesson from a few weeks back). They are not survival gear. I'm serious about this. This is no better. Go to REI, people.
Example three. This is not romantic. If you're wearing a dual Snuggie with your special someone, you've already given up.
Example four. You look like Obi-Wan Kenobi lost his belt. And not in a good, Alec- or Ewan-sort of way.
Example five. You don't look like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, you look like an emo band in witness protection in Toontown.
Example six. Huh? Did someone pull that thread as you walked away, leaving you with only this?
Example seven. OK, to be fair, I'm not sure this makes being a Furry any worse.
Example eight. You look like someone bred a penguin with some funky socks. On second thought, this one is just fine. Stay tuned for a sequel to this column when the doggie sealpelt is released.
