Best Christmas Gift of 2009: Snuggie
JW Snuggie.jpgI'm fairly easy to shop for. A couple weird hats, some old scratchy blues records, throwback sneakers, some Sea Monkeys, barge full of candy and a book store gift certificate and we're good. Happy Christmas J-Dub. Goodnight.

But my sister-in-law (who really is "practically perfect in every way") threw me a slider on Christmas morning. I opened the medium sized box she gave me. NFL Snuggie, I read. I opened that blanket with sleeves and stared at the fleece item for a while. Eyeing her up and down. Like two dogs meeting each other in the park.

After a few scowl-filled, confused minutes and an adjustment of my testicles, I slipped on that Seattle Seahawks Snuggie. I'll be damned if it wasn't a little slice of wonderful. It's like wearing a fleece hug with conveniently placed sleeves. Just for doing stuff. Changing the channel from ESPN to ESPN 2. Or reading a book. Or enjoying a hot beverage.

My little bother snapped that picture above tonight. Me, curled up in my Snuggie, scribbling some drivel in my Mead Composition Notebook. Busted cold. And snug as a monkey in a Snuggie.

Best gift of '09 ... The NFL Snuggie.

Warning J-Dubs:

Wearing a Seahawks snuggie is considered a choking hazard. Don't eat while wearing it.

That's too funny for me to be mad at, Sheriff. The Hawks are just dreadful. My personal theory is that we are victims of some sort of strong voodoo curse. There's no other explanation.

Damn voodoo sorceress's and their witchcraft and what not...

I got a Chicago Bears snuggie for Christmas. It probably doesn't fold quite as easily as a Seahawks snuggie ...

said LightsOut on January 1, 2010 3:47 PM.

Nice, LightsOut. My Hawks fold like a lawn chair. You know your season has long been over when jokes lie these are as funny to me as everyone else.

But the Bears Snuggie probably turns itself over to 11 other guys that want it quite a bit.

Happy New Year, fellas.

I have a Cubs World Series snuggie, but it says that it is only for use upon arrival in hell.

That's the same thing it says on my Lions Super-Bowl snuggie!

i have a jack-0 snuggie. it says 14 and under. i don't know what that means but all that glitter makes me look hella cool.

That is funny. I didn't think that the Seahawks were even a professional team any more.
I thought they went the way of the SuperSonics.
You should just get a Starbucks snuggie. Starbucks is the new symbol of Seattle anyhow. I love Starbucks so it is ok.

Taunee, keep them above the belt please. My balls hurt and my nose is bleeding after those smacks.

Man did the Seahawks finish strong yesterday. Inspirational. I still have a migraine from watching it.

And death to Starbucks.

said Johnny Wright on January 4, 2010 3:16 PM.

Hey Phat, does your jack-o snuggie have a little hole in the middle too? Mine came that way ... can't understand it.

said Tim on January 4, 2010 3:35 PM.

Jonathon:

Nothing says "Take me seriously" like a full grown man in a snuggie.
Unless, of course it is a Seattle Seahawks snuggie.

The nice part about owning a Seahawks snuggie is the fact that you could totaly start pissing yourself when you take a nap and no one would tease you for it. They would have already assumed that you were retarded and wouldn't expect any more from you.

Love yo nuts,

Tauns

said Taunee on January 4, 2010 5:03 PM.

There's no comeback for that, kids. Fair play to you, Taunee.

Johnny:
You know I'm just playin'.
I think think the Seahawks snuggy shows your sweet side.
Tauns.

P.S.
You should totally get Echowood a matching snuggie for the next Three Chords.

said Taunee on January 4, 2010 6:37 PM.

Hear that ladies? Sweet side. I'm not as arrogant and smug as you think.

I'll try to get Echo a matching snuggie. Then I'll punch him in the mouth. I figure that makes the whole thing legal under the Man Code. Evens it out.
