Hey anyone got $11,000 I can borrow?
nah I’m just kidding what I really want is this SLOW LORIS
I like 3-toed sloths and my wife bought me this sloth beanie baby a long time ago.
Real cows are cheaper! Lots, lots cheaper!
I really want a Dexter cow. I shall call her “Minimoo”. But first I need to conquer my nextdoor neighbor’s yard so I have room.
I have no issues admitting I have no issue buying plush things. On my desk right now there are two tenticlekittys, a TRU jeffrey, Figment, Tigger, a local radio mascot for 99.3 The Fox, a small bear in a Vancouver Canucks sweater, and makeships Spleens the Cat.
On the first family vacation my wife (then GF) joined us for we spent a week at Disneyland, and we received a bunch of coupons (from the hotel or some guide book) and there was one for Build a Bear. Never had a thought about going to the place but we thought what the heck. She got an Orange cat in a cheerleader’s outfit, and I got a turtle in Army Camo.
Fast forward a couple years and 1) we had a kid, 2) BAB opened a location near us. Since then, I made a TMNT Mikey wearing a Ghostbusters outfit, 3 Pokemon wearing Paw Patrol outfits, Scooby-doo. and a Boba Fett bear. I don’t even want to touch on how many the wife and kid have acquired.
You had me at Figment! I mention Figment and most people go huh?
I’ve also made a few Build a Bears over the years, and yes, I do believe there are plush in every room of the house.
I never got name-brand stuffed animals. Mine were simply in the JC Penney Christmas catalog or from Kmart or whatever. But I loved them all the same. In fact, I still have a couple of stuffed animals and one still lives on my bed that I’ve had since I was 12 years old or so.
Oh yeah?! Well how about THIS cymbal monkey I saw on one of the baby VHS videos when I was VERY young?
I haven’t seen that one, but if my MIL does, she’ll get it for me. She’s gotten me a couple of stuff sloths over the years.
Wishpets (with Grogu, who my wife collects)
and Snax the Sloth. He slowly repeats whatever you say. It’s actually kind of creepy.
Love it
Im actually replaying Final Fantasy 6 for the first time in like twenty years. What a classic series
My daughter got interest in 6 from my description, so we played through it together. Trick is I conned her into doing all the reading. As a result her reading skills have drastically improved. Now we’re playing through ff 5. Not sure what’s next, maybe 4, maybe 9?
