Forget the Swine Flu, the Pandemic that is sweeping the nation is the Snuggie Restless Arm Syndrome.
This photo was from the Million Snuggie Snug, a Snuggie Charity event for the homeless which was held in Dallas last month. You can visit TheMillionSnuggieSnug.com to learn more about their event and cause. Many thanks to Brian and the Million Snuggie Snug crew for allowing me to post your excellent Snuggie Sightings.
Adrian submitted this picture of Courtney modeling a Blue Snuggie against a Beige Backdrop. This was not a UPS Store Snuggie Sighting, but a good example of the Snuggie Restless Arm Syndrome.
If you have followed this site for a while, you'll be familiar with the term 'Snuggie Restless Arm Syndrome' - which is the curious condition that afflicts most Snuggie wearers. Once you put on a Snuggie, you want to raise your arms for no apparent reason. Well, I happened upon a certain company's Twitter account yesterday, and noticed this Tweet. It reads 'Slanket has RSS: Restless Sleeve Syndrome'.
NOTE TO SLANKET: If you claim to be an original, and if you choose to cry Slanket Tears over being copied, then why are you copying me? 2nd place isn't so bad. I'm flattered you noticed. Happy Tweeting :) And one more thing, that Tweet about being on Letterman - he was making fun of you. I'm just trying to help you.
... we don't want the cure!

The Snuggie Restless Arm Syndrome (i.e. the inability of Snuggie Wearers to keep their arms by their sides) is sweeping through the country. Pictured below is our first 'Little Person' Snuggie Sighting. We present to you, Tara.
We remind our faithful readers that the Snuggie is one-size-fits-all.
You cannot contain the Snuggie Restless Arm Syndrome, you can only hope to contain it. The Snuggie Restless Arm Syndrome has been noted previously here, here, and here.
Pictured above is Michael as he is released from the hospital. He suffered from Snuggie Restless Arm Syndrome - the inexplicable urge to raise your hands when wearing a Snuggie. His syndrome has gone into remission, thanks to a steady diet of Star Trek Voyager episodes and stuffed animals. Of course, if you really want to keep your hands down, you could lay underneath those notoriously restrictive blankets.

We first noted the Snuggie Restless Arm Syndrome in our Raise the Roof in Your Snuggie entry. This was followed up by the Snuggie Sighting at New Mexico Church of Scientology post. Michael has now sent a photo of a full-on Snuggie Restless Arm Syndrome attack. This was snapped in the parking lot outside the same Church of Scientology in New Mexico.
In other news, Michael has officially ended the debate on whether the Snuggie opens in the back or not.
Michael is the one without the black box covering his face. He is also the one wearing the Snuggie in a Church of Scientology in New Mexico. Seeing this photo reminds me of the Raise the Roof in Your Snuggie entry from yesterday, where we noted the inability of Snuggie wearers to keep their arms down. After a lifetime of being stuck under blankets, the Snuggie will set you free.

We previously noted the Snuggie Gang Sign Phenomenon in our Snuggie Gangland Collection - the inexplicable desire to flash gang signs while wearing a Snuggie. Besides this curiousity, others react to the Snuggie by raising their arms. Once one is free from the bondage of the blanket, the arms are sure to rise. Can I get an amen?
Two popular poses are "The Moses", exhibited by Bryan (pictured above), and the "Happy Little Crop Duster" modeled by Phoenix, below.
