You can just about take you pick here: http://www.asseenontv.com/

I guess the flopping animated fish on a board that makes noises gets my vote.

I was given a Snuggie blanket last year for Christmas. They actually are warm, I think the synthetic fiber reflects your heat back to yourself. I don't use the sleeves, though. I just wrap the thing over my shoulders like you would a regular blanket.

That sounds like a fun time at Salmonslayer's home!
I think people in Snuggies look like cult members living on a compound. Did ya'll see the ones for dogs? The model on the box looked just our Beagle. Like a doggie cult member!

Snuggies are cheap here and for some reason the middle school kids at my school LOVE them and always compare notes as to what color of SNUGGIE that they have or that they can hardly wait for weekends to watch movies with their snuggies - LOL The boys seem to really like the camo ones.

How funny!

So what is the fabric like? I've never seen one, but I thought they were made of fleece? Is it thin fleece or something else? I figure the the cheapest fleece is still around six bucks a yard, and there must be at least two to three yards in one. Wonder if the equivalent fabric would cost more or less?

My cat knocks over something?
About 10 years ago we rented a house that didn't have ceiling lights in the rooms, but in each room a light switch controlled the power to the nearest electrical plug. We bought lamps for all of the rooms, but turning off the bedroom lamp was awkward because the switch was in a corner of the room.

We bought a clapper and it worked pretty well until Spring came around and I started getting allergic reactions to pollen. We were watching TV one night when I started sneezing. I sneezed 5 times and The Clapper turned OFF the lamp, turned ON the lamp, turned OFF the lamp, turned ON the lamp, turned OFF the lamp!

DH and I were laughing so hard we were almost crying then our dog barked and The Clapper turned the lamp ON.

I unplugged The Clapper and put it back in the box.

A while back I read in a newspaper article that Snuggie Pub Crawls & Costume Contests were very popular in some cities.

I googled " Pub Crawl images" and found lots of photos taken at the crawls. Jere is a sample:

Kinda a cross between Charles Manson and the Tele Tubbies?
