The sleeves actually help a lot if you're playing games. My hands get cold pretty easily and when they do they get incredibly stiff and throb with pain, and with a blanket I either had to deal with it or bury my hands and controller under the blanket which led to me messing up quite a bit. Snuggie just came and treated my hands like princesses


Or you could, you know, get a robe.  The snuggie is just a robe they've convinced people to wear backwards.  Probably so they could save money by getting rid of the belt.

Actually, the snuggie might be sewn together at the neck. Not sure though.

I'd also like to add turkey bacon to this thread.

Hey jingle, you didn't search that hard, did you?

jingle.boy

Nope, I didn't.  Thanks for doing the work.

For those that feel the Mankini doesn't reveal enough, there's the Willykini. 



OMG, you can even go "like" 'em on FB - https://www.facebook.com/thewillykini

Hey Jackie... If I get lonestar in next year's Secret Santa, what size should I order?  :lol

I can get by with a walnut shell and a rubber band.

I leave you with this (not necessarily a stupid invention but rediculous price nontheless). Read the reviews:  https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-UN85S9-85-Inch-Ultra-120Hz/dp/B00CMEN95U/ref=pd_ybh_13

That thing that exists now that you can actually BUY that you put a ball in and throw it for a dog.

So - if you still have to make the same sodding motion with your arm -  why not just throw the effing ball ??? ???

Guess you've never tossed a ball for more than 10 minutes with a drooling lab?

Also, it makes throwing easier for older peeps and for peeps like me who destroyed their shoulders playing in drunken adult softball leagues.

Also, there's a little principal called 'leverage' that allows even the strongest person to use a ball thrower to fling the ball much further with less effort than would be possible without it. More fun for the dog and the human.

i've seen people using them and not only do they use the same effort as it would take to throw the ball - but the ball goes a pitiful distance too.

:lol If that's true, the invention can't be held responsible if someone isn't bright enough to figure out how to use it to their advantage...there are even instructions on the product! A simple flick of the wrist will throw the tennis ball hundreds of feet.

Okay, pretty stupid to try and drive with that thing in your face, but there have been times when I was behind a truck or a van and it was frustrating not being able to see what was going on up ahead of me.  A periscope would've been cool.

:lmao: at some of those.  But the Bacon Bowl... I might have to order.

Actually, you can do the same thing with a mini-muffin pan turned upside down. There's no need to wrap one around either. Just cut bacon into 3 inch strips, and cross two pieces over the back of the muffin forms, lay a mini-muffin liner over the top of each one and place another flat baking pad over the top to hold the liners down during baking. Bake on 250° F for about an hour. Let cool and you have bacon cups.

Scoop in a dollop of deviled egg filling and you have bacon and egg hors d'oeuvres.

Well I don't like coffee OR conversation, so where does that leave me? I won't be able to fully utilize this innovation. :(

You could leave one near a table of hot chicks at a Starbucks and listen in on all their girl talk.

Whoa whoa, I have to leave the house too? This invention is sounding worse by the minute!
I'm not even sure if we have Starbucks here. They tried to start it up here a few years ago, but I never heard anything more of it.

Chino

That's because the coffee has a terrible price-to-taste ratio

Orbert

True, but that doesn't stop millions of Americans from buying it.
