SNUGGLE
No, this not an article about Snuggle, the fabric softener. Though, I do love to use it when I wash our sheets and comforters. I love the white lavender and sandalwood scented one. (I hope my brothers don’t read this otherwise I’m going to hear some name calling)
Well, the Snuggle I’m talking about is the good one you want to do with your significant other. Everybody loves cuddling with that special loved one, don’t they? I know I love to snuggle or cuddle with Rose. Not to sound vain (because I am) I always thought I was a champion cuddler, a super snuggler but sad to say after watching TV shows and movies I’m just average.
In those shows or movies when a couple who are in love wake up there she is all comfortable in his arms. They wake up at the same time, both smiling not a hair out of place, no bed heads. *** stops typing for a second and throws some punches in the air pretending I landed two each to their jaws *** Rose and I may fall asleep cuddling but we never wake up in the same position. I don’t know about Rose but usually I’m on the other side of the bed cuddling a body pillow and slobbering all over my other pillows. (Now you know why I’m always washing the linen with Snuggle).
There have been a few times (once) where Rose and I went to be cuddling and woke up still in the same position. I swear my right arm and shoulder never hurt so much. I couldn’t move shit for a few minutes, and it was sore for a few days. Oh well, I’m glad Rose accepts my lack of all-night snuggling skills. Can anybody out there snuggle all night?
SNUGGIE
I’m sure everyone has seen the commercial for the Snuggie. It’s a blanket with sleeves. For the people who hasn’t seen the commercial, yes I’m being serious, a blanket with sleeves. They have reportedly sold over 4 million of them.
I guess the Snuggie is part of pop culture now. Snuggie fan clubs are all over the place. There are at least over 100 just on Facebook. There’s even a web site where fans can post photos and videos of Snuggie sightings. (Isn’t that one of the signs of the apocalypse?)
If you have great marketing or a great slogan you can sell anything in this country. You see it weekly at the movies. Some lame ass movie will make tons of money. Last month the latest version of Friday the 13th made the most money for a couple of weekends, and I’m sure many in here will point out Obama winning the election with a great slogan.
I really don’t care what people wear in the privacy of their own home. Lord knows I worn some crazy shit. Plus who could get mad at kids wearing Snuggies. But to be perfectly honest if I saw a grown ass man wearing a Snuggie at a football or baseball game I’m hitting him with a hotdog. Okay a slight exaggeration anybody who knows me knows I’ll never throw away a ballpark frank but I definitely would hit him with the wrapper and probably some popcorn and maybe with somebody else’s beer.
SNIGLET
A sniglet is a neologism defined as "any word that doesn't appear in the dictionary, but should". The term was created by writer/actor/comedian Rich Hall, who first created a series of Sniglets while he was a performer on the 1980s HBO comedy series Not Necessarily the News. Each episode of the monthly series featured a regular segment on Sniglets by Hall. Hall's own sniglets along with submissions by fans were compiled into several books, starting with Sniglets and More Sniglets.
Examples:
The above paragraph and examples are from Wikipedia. I used those 2 examples only because they started with “sn”.
I was trying to hurry up and come up with my own singlet that started with “sn” but nothing was coming to me. The only thing I could come up with is to combine the words Snuggle (the fabric softener) and ugly.
So here’s my lame attempt.
Snuggly: A person so unattractive you want to stuff them in a washer or dryer.
Okay, not so great. So help me out and write your own sniglets here.
Was gonna post the video, but you figured it out.

By the way, this thing is scary...I never had so much trouble with a blanket that I needed to put sleeves in one.
I agree about not waking in the same position when falling asleep snuggling...impossible unless you end up without the use of your arms like you did! My daughter tested that one...she likes going to sleep snuggling in my arms and one night I didn't wake up to take her to her bed! Man did I feel it the next day!lol!
I liked this Chris, really nice!
HEY! I remember snuggling! Still do it every once in a while but did it A LOT back in the day.
hehehe...
HEY! I remember sniglets! I was there (or at least here watchin' on TV) when Rich Hall did his first skit about them! heh, I'll be damn...
Sorry, but I wouldn't be caught dead in a snuggie.
One 'mo thing and I'll shut up. I am SO GLAD to see you FINALLY posting something! Hell's bells it's gettin' kinda hard holding up all the burden by my lonesome around this place! Gah, been about to frickin' DROWN in all the computer gaming bullshit thats alwasy cascading down these days!
Maybe if you bought the snuggie and filled it with Mannequin arms it could be Rose's all night snuggle. You start off the night then when she nods off, you make the switch. She is snuggled and you keep the feeling in your arms.
O.K. if there is a guy at a ballgame wearing a snuggie I am going to sit near him for a couple of reason. I get to hear all the insults flying his way and I get to catch hot dogs, popcorn and beer flying his way and I can save a few bucks. That is called snashing in! Get it snatching and cashing....hehe...
The only SN word I can think of is snort. I occasionally do it when I laugh, but only if I'm laughing really hard.
Mostly I save it for "oh yeah riiiiiiight" moments. But if I saw someone wearing a snuggie, well, .
Or if I actually thought someone could snuggle all night.
Or if I saw you eating a hotdog and throwing ANY beer...
hahaha.
Great article.
Keep writing! I love to read your perspective....
I just thought of another one!
SNACK.....maybe I'll go eat some nice healthy carrot sticks.
(SNORT)
Sn is the chemical symbol for tin by the way.
Know it all.
Snoil = Tin Foil
4 years of chemistry...some of it rubs off on you. And sometimes it burns.
Heh, heh.
Actually there's a thing called SnOil that has nothing to do with tin. Check it out.

Here is another "Sn" character, btw.

As for the snuggling, well, let the perfect sleepers of the world cuddle and spoon all night...at least we have the crazy late night talks in the dark...lol.
Is that what they call it these days?
Zoo,
It was looking like I had no idea what the hell I was doing but I still got lucky and somehow came out doing it right. Which is exactly the report every teacher I ever had gave to my parents.
Should I get you a red and white to match your school colors?
Has any of your friends asked you to make some crystal meth to sell? Sorry, Zoo was thinking of the TV series Breaking Bad on AMC, which premieres it's second season this Sunday. Anybody reading this should watch this show. Buy or rent the 1st season it's a very good show. Damn, AMC should pay me for this.
FS,
Your arm was killing you but I bet your daughter loved the cuddling.
Thanks, Donna!
Roy,
I could've done alot of snuggling back in the day but I had 2 problems. I was a dumbass and an asshole. I always wanted the bonus plan with my snuggling. I'm glad I finally got some wisdom as I got older.
Me, too, which means we are 2 old dogs. But look on the bright side we can still learn some new tricks.
Don't give your wife any ideas. She sounds like she has a great sense of humor so I would hate for her to dress you in a Snuggie at your funeral.
I hear you, my friend. I think we need to get some of the old gang and start teaming up and trying to get some of the old flavor back in here.
Kelly,
I love it!! That's such a great idea. In fact, you could probably sell that idea.
Forget snashing, Kel you need to cut out the middle man and just wear a Snuggie yourself that way you can get all the food and drinks I throw at you.
Tova,
I don't know if Rose will appreciate me saying this but she snorts too when she laughs hard. I always found it sexy when a woman did that.
Even if I was throwing it at Kelly?
Thanks, Tova.
Mmm I love carrot sticks. I wonder if carrot sticks would hurt more than a hotdog if I threw them.
Rose,
That's a good one.
I don't see nothing. I guess if I was a Big Bird instead of a Big fill-in-the-blank I would.
I love those talks ...
... but I think Zoo knows our secret.
As long as you end up in the right place, doesn't matter what path you take.
Heh, heh. Luckily, no...though I'm sure if I set my mind to it I could probably pull it off. I mean if rednecks can manage to do reactions in a doublewide, then I figure I could throw something together. But it being illegal and against my moral standards...I'd have to give it a miss.
