Default My Mom Bought Me A Snuggie
For a late birthday present.

It's zebra-striped.

I am a little confused right now!

A snuggie? That sounds kind of cuddly, what is it?

It is a blanket. With Sleeves. You put your arms in the sleeves. It keeps you warm, while able to operate things like a remote control while still in the blanket.

After a few tries, you should get the hang of it.

I think she's confused on why her mom would send her a snuggie in the first place, I feel like Gail Simone has the credentials to operate a blanket.

It's a really long fleece bathrobe that you wear backwards.

...I do not make this up.

So you can do things like play on the computer while staying snuggled up in the blanket?

I think I'll look into getting one of those!

I'm telling you.
The world's ending.
Not with a bang, but in a whimper.

A comfy whimper.

Once you see the commercial, you'll change your mind about that. They look like they're part of some kind of druid cult. And I love how they show people actually going outdoors in their snuggies. Why not go out with the rollers still in your hair while you're at it?

I think I would be slightly offended if someone in my family assumed that I was a "snuggie" kind of person.

I wouldn't use a Snuggie if I were naked on an iceberg.

True Story: My wife and I got two of them for wedding presents.

They were quite comfortable.
