I thought the epitome of lazy were those Sleep Jeans. Saw them last weekend for the first time (can't even remember which store) and could only roll my eyes. As it is, I have to fight the urge to slap all those stupid girls I see wearing sleep pants & Uggs out in public. Being lazy is NOT a fashion statement!

No, the epitome of lazy is that thing you're supposed to rub your feet on in the shower so that you don't have to bend down to wash your feet. That's the actual selling point.

If bending down to wash your feet in the shower is too much work for you, it's time to admit you have failed as a human being.*

*Obviously, the elderly or handicapped are somewhat excused from this statement. But it's not being pitched as a specialty product. It's being pitched as something the average American needs. Pops

If the girl has the right curves, she will look fantastic in pajamas and boots. I love the way their booties sag just a bit.

I was thinking about buying one. A semi-truck hit me last week and my back is all sorts of hinky.

CSB time:

When I was in high school I was in an ecommerce and marketing class. One day, when we were talking about business opportunities and creating products that nobody had invented yet, I said to my teacher "Wouldn't it be cool to create a blanket with sleeves that you could button up and never have to take off. You could put a pocket in it and everything."

After a few moments of silence, one of my classmates goes 'Thats the most idiotic idea I've ever heard."

Had I not listened to them, I would be rich off the damn snuggie.

Ped Eggs work fantasically, though the reality of dumping the dead skin out is just as disgusting in real life as it is on the commercials.

brigid_fitch: Uggs

This.

Ladies, once you reach about 6 years in age, loose the boots. You look like a child in them.

then again, enjoy them, wear them proudly. It acts as an effective signal to men-folk that you are childish and possibly with daddy issues that might be exploited in the short term yet high maintenance and should be avoided for the long term.

I think I can give you a pass in that case. Again, I'd be fine if it was a specialty problem for people with back problems (I cited elderly and handicapped as most common) but the commercial actually makes it sound like it is just such a relief for the average person to FINALLY not have to bend over in the shower!

They've always sort of scared me, they look way too much like cheese graters for me to get up the nerve to take one to my feet.

Fatties, dont forget fatties.

I kind of want a robostir for sauces and roux and things, does anybody know if it actually works? I cant find much testing info about them. Would they be beefy enough for risotto or something?

I was watching one of those channels that only shows reruns of I Dream of Jeannie and M*A*S*H, and they ran an ad for flannel jumper pajamas designed to be worn in public. They showed mostly young women shopping, jogging, and at the nightclub in these things.

Since the ad was obviously aimed at young,single women, what does that say about the market research that went into this product?

You are supposed to bend down and wash your feet? Doesn't the shower do that for you? I have never bent down and washed my feet in my 44 years on Earth.

*Sniffs feet*

They don't smell bad either.

That you misunderstand the ad. The ad wasn't aimed at young single women; it was aimed at middle aged, married, overweight women who want to feel like young single women. Ads like this feature people the target demographic want to be, not who they actually are.

I have one of those, and I bought my mother one. They are pretty nice. My house is cold. There is nothing more uncomfortable than sitting around your own house, trying to post on Fark, and being cold.

So there.

Does the onsies have one of those poop flaps in the back or do you have to take off the whole thing to poop?

For some reason I equate lazy people with people that poop a lot.

Yes, the Forever Lazy at least has a poop flap according to the commercials.

How does the Snuggie differ from the Snug Sacks that were available in the 80s? I loved those!

Adult onesies are a little odd, though.

/ What does it say about me that the first thing I thought when I saw the picture of the Forever
Lazy was 'does it have a butt flap in the back'?

The goobers who "invented" the Snuggy and the Forever Lazy forget one thing: Ease of care. This is why the ol' cotton sweat pants, cotton sweatshirt and terrycloth bathrobe will never be improved upon. ( Wear thick socks if your feet are cold.)

Should you spill food or drink wearing the single-garment item, you have to wash the whole damn thing. Spill on the traditional outfit, and only that particular piece of clothing has to be washed.

/if you're into washing.
