I think it would be visually funny for there to be a marathon or perhaps a 5k race, where all participants wear Snuggies. Until the world gets hip enough for that, we'll have to settle for the random Snuggie Sighting in the crowd, such as this potential Snuggie Sighting
[Photo not recovered: If this is a Snuggie, the wearer is sporting it backwards and they have it cinched up. A Snuggie, when left to its own devices, will hang down on the ground, making it all the better to run a marathon in.]If this is a Snuggie, the wearer is sporting it backwards and they have it cinched up.

Here's a note from KC, who submitted this pic:
'My first public Snuggie Sighting happened today at the Towpath Marathon in Peninsula Ohio. This spectator had it on backwards and all pulled up. Couldn't believe my eyes. I whipped out my camera as quick as I could to take a pic. She stayed nice in warm in her Snuggie as it was in the 40's today.'
The upcoming Philadelphia Snuggie Pub Crawl organizers show some mad Photoshop skillz, causing me to (as the kids say...) LOL when I saw their improvement on their famous Rockie Balboa statue (how awesome is it that Philly has a statue of Sylvester Stallone - I think some city in Texas should erect a Rambo statue. Dallas. I'm talking to you.)
You may have heard the announcement today of President Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize. On a much larger scale and of more historical significance is that Snuggie has been awarded the 2009 Nobel Fleece Prize for their efforts in freeing millions of people from the evil clutches of the blanket.
This should not be confused with the Double Snuggie (which is when one person wears two Snuggies - you can read my Double Snuggie PSA here). We'll call this 'Two Girls, One Snuggie'
Deb sent in this great picture of her parents relaxing in their Snuggies. I love the resurgence of the Complimentary Booklights. His booklight is trained on a AAA brochure while hers is beaming onto the worried looking dog (worried because he doesn't have a Snuggie of his own, surely).
Deb writes: My 80yo dad recently had major back surgery and found that his new Snuggie is quite comfortable as he recuperates! He loves his so much that I bought one for my 81yo mom, so she could be comfy, too!
The first Summer Snuggie Pub Crawl was held on August 6, 2009 in the thriving metropolis that is Marshfield, Wisconsin.

The picture above gives you just a glimpse of what we will soon behold as dozens (hundreds?) of cities host Snuggie Pub Crawls this Fall and Winter. Gone are the days of the 'Blue Only' complaints when it comes to Snuggie.

Many thanks to Kristi for sending this Snuggie Sighting from the streets of Sydney. Look at the poor dog in that picture - I'm not sure if the Snuggie for Dogs has hit Australia yet or not. Here's the Snuggie Australia Website.
Sydney Snuggie Sighting on Oxford Street - the dog must rely on an inferior invention for keeping warm...fur...poor pooch.
One thing I love about this country is how we, as a people, utilize Twitter to debate the important issues. Point in case, is that a Satin Snuggie that Julie Chen is rocking on the Big Brother Finale? The Tweets on this were in the hundreds - enough of a volume to force my hand and actually tune in to Big Brother for the potential Snuggie Sighting.

The sleeves certainly are roomy, and Snuggie-like. However, this stylish number is short for a Snuggie. Perhaps it could be a Summer Snuggie...nah. Look at the back.
[Photo not recovered: My Snuggie Forecast? Partly Cloudy with an 80% chance this is not a Snuggie. But check out that hair - I'm thinking that while Julie is not wearing a Snuggie, we may have a Bumpits Sighting on our hands.]My Snuggie Forecast?

No open back means this is likely not a Snuggie. But Julie certainly has Big Happy Hair. I suspect there's a Bumpit under there somewhere. This really should be on BumpitSightings.com.
Now that this debate has been resolved, we can now focus on more shallow issues, such as healthcare, war, and where Jay Leno's desk went.
