Goofy Gimmicks

Justin Scholl, of Seattle, says "Here's a decent list of the 13 Worst Pro-Wrestling Gimmicks Ever, but it seems incomplete. They should've done at least 30." Justin is right.

Slanket > Snuggie

Brian in his Snuggie... or Slanket.

We've compiled a sampling of the e-mails we received last week about the Snuggie. One e-mail we'll share with you here comes from Brian, of North Liberty, Iowa, who says "Jimmy, here is my pic of myself using my snuggie to hide from my dog.

I mean, what genius mind thought up combining sleeve and blanket together to form the brand name 'Slanket?' I guess some people just have what it takes to take a crappy idea and turn it into crap that people like me get from the in-laws for X-mas." Brian isn't the only one who sang the praises of the "Slanket."
