Gettin’ Snuggie With It
Nearly 800 people have signed up for the Los Angeles Snuggie Pub Crawl (date still to be determined). I’m a HUGE fan of participating in mindless, ridiculous activities like this, so of course I signed up right away.

However, this seemingly pointless event, which is centered around the latest trend in dorkpop consumerism, the Snuggie, second only to the ShamWow in popularity, is not completely vacuous after all. The SnuggiePubCrawl.com team is donating proceeds from the event to the AC-Orphanage in Arusha, Tanzania. AC-Orphanage rescues orphans from the streets of Tanzania whose parents have been victims of HIV and TB. Your donations will go directly to providing food, clean water, clothing and schooling for these children.
So even if you don’t want to bar hop around Los Angeles in a Snuggie, you can still go online and donate to this worthy endeavor. Visit their web site for more info: http://www.snuggiepubcrawl.com/Locations/LA/.
In the meantime, leave a comment here if you want to join me for the Los Angeles Snuggie Pub Crawl. Whenever it is. Soon it’s going to be too warm in Los Angeles to Snuggie. Are you thinking what I’m thinking? Aw yeah! ShamWoW Pub Crawl!

Holy wow, I can’t believe I didn’t hear about this!!!
and…800 poeple?! Holy crap!
I know! I wonder if it will actually happen. I better go online and order my Snuggie now.
Looks like I’d better get a Snuggie, too. And fast. Will there be a run on Snuggies? Will Snuggie, Inc. be able to handle the demand? Could this be the thing that jump starts the economy?
Burns! If ShamWows are on backorder, you could go for a Slanket. You could instigate a Slanket vs. Snuggie rumble!

While I applaud the Slanket’s vastly superior selection of colors, they cost twice as much as the Snuggie. For a blanket. With arms. F’ the Slanket!
Please count me at @lalawag in for this. As you can see at http://www.seanpercival.com/blog/2009/01/15/snuggie-unboxing/, im well versed in snuggie time.
Reminds me of Movementarians. Awesome.
I signed up! They emailed me back though and they said "the first rule about snuggie pub crawl is that you don’t talk about snuggie pub crawl"
It appears as though the birthday bear has broken the first rule of snuggie pub crawl (an event that i categorically deny having any knowledge of or interest in)
