All right, Mr. DeMille, we're ready for our close-up.
December 10, 1998
~~~ NOTE FROM CHRIS: ~~~
Furby is the hot toy of this holiday season --
a stuffed animal of some sort which has big eyes and talks or something.
People are paying ridiculous amounts of money for these little hairballs.
The Top 10 Signs You've Got Furbymania
- You're lined up before opening at the gas station convenience store just in case they have unadvertised Furbies.
- Common thread among your 17 murder victims this week? All were previous Furby owners.
- You hit the line, bounced left, but couldn't see daylight, ran up the back of the guy in front of you, juked again, spun right and then, with a final stiff arm to Mrs. Edna P. Wilson, snagged the last Furby!
- You've upped your Furby offer to "$10,000, plus an hour with my wife."
- Your kid's jokes about wanting the new "Tickle-Me Cabbage Furby" results in a little visit to the ER for some defibrillation.
- Santa is pressing charges after you decided to search his pants for hidden Furbies.
- Little Susie will get her Furby after all, and Johnny will be pretty happy with the 3 human hands still clutching the Furby box.
- Thanks to a copious supply of back hair, you were able to successfully strip naked in the aisle and get in on some of that Furby paw-and-grab action.
- In a crazed effort to please your 4-year-old, you've brought home more dead rodents than your cat.
and the Number 1 Sign You've Got Furbymania...
- In a smoky bunker lit by a single bulb, you pore over Toys 'R' Us blueprints in preparation for the next Furby shipment.
