Snuggies

Posted in Odd news by Ray Dixon on 4 July, 2009

Not even fit to be worn at home, let alone in the streets.

I bet Michael Jackson wore one

The people in the photo to the left here have small brains and no lives. They’re wearing Snuggies.

If you have been stupid enough to buy one of these ‘blankets with arms’ and worn it – even in the privacy of your own home – you deserve to be the object of extreme ridicule.

You really do need to grow up, get out more and stop behaving like a five year old. You’re probably on Twitter too.

I don’t want to know you.

    What about Slankets?

    I think you should supply these in the units Ray.

    Tweet!

    Same thing, Dave.

    Don, we already supply bedding, but if our customers want to wear it they’ll have to pay extra.

    I reckon they’re a great idea, Ray. Only thing better would be for the product to include underwear. Huggies come to mind. Could just sit around all day and be on the nose as well.

    They’d go great with my uggs. Where do you get them? Surprised I haven’t seen them round the local supermarkets, but we’re always behind fashion down here.

    And if they don’t come with hoods, forget it.

    You get them online, Rox: https://snuggie.com.au/

    But before you do you must look at this ‘What the f*ck’ video on them:

    I think you’ll find that the Slanket is a far superior blanket with arms Rox.

    What, it’s ‘The Mac’ of geek blanket clothing?

    Btw Dave, you’ve got one?

    What’s wrong with a good dressing-gown?

    Great doctoring there Ray. At least, I hope it was you. Now I’m going to look up Slankets – “sl” is not a good start to a word, if you ask me.

    Well well, this is apparently the question du jour.

    If you have enough money to spend $US330 on a gigantic 3m long blanket made out of wool from Icelandic sheep, you have enough money to run your heater and walk around in your underwear instead.

    That’s the Blankoat

    Even I, with a big bit of polar fleece (Tasmania’s national fabric) and a need le and cotton, could knock up one of those things. And I could have teddybears on it too. Or skulls.

    run your heater and walk around in your underwear

    Standard behaviour in my household.

    “What “doctoring”?”

    There’s some thing about Bright Accom (sic) down the bottom.

    Ah yeah, that’d be Google picking up on key words on this blog. I notice there’s an ad for Ugg boots too, which you referred to. Not my work, I’m not that clever. I guess that’s the price we pay to get the video imbedding feature from WordPress – we have to cop the ads.

    I still want to know if Dave has got a ‘Slanket’. He seems to know a bit about the products. And if he does … we want photos!

    Your very own dutch oven!
    About as funny as a fart in a space suit.

    I love the way that girl in the TV ad says “SNUGGIES!” as though they are the thing she has been waiting for since childhood – the thing that makes sense of everything.

    Freakin weird. WEIRD.

    Rox – if they came with a hood you’d look just exactly like something out of the Spanish Inquisition. If I came to your place and you came to the door wearing that outfit, I’d shriek and flee into the night.

    If I came to your place and you came to the door wearing that outfit …

    … I’d ravish you!

    Good grief.

  20. Ray Dixon said, on 4 July, 2009 at 7:34 pm

    Well, it speaks for itself, Rox. You wear one of those and you’re fair game!
