I’m incredibly jealous and mystified at the same time.

Matt, as it's a Chia Pet, have you got a name for it or are you just going to call it an 'it' while it grows? Could get quite attached to the little thing!

I realize that both of these product came from the same genius of a mind, but did you know this-???? In the original commercial for the clapper, the old lady in bed who we all have come to love uses the clapper to turn of her TV. Anyone know what commercial was playing on the TV set before she magically clapped her hands on rolled over to sleep??? None other than the Chia Pet commercial. I always got a big kick out of this as a kid, until later in life when I found out they were from the same company. An ingenious piece of advertisement!!!!

I wanted a Chia Pet SO BADLY when I was like…11. And I got one for Christmas…but it was broken! So my mom returned it, and I had a new one by, oh, December 29th. I recall spreading the seed goo on it, but then losing interest in it pretty quickly.

In the meantime, my housemates and I celebrated the start of December by getting really…really drunk. Brandy + hot soya nog = Ariel drunk enough to ask out the cute guy at the grocery store.

P.S. the quote is “Remember Alf? He’s back! In pog form.” Even drunk, I win at Simpsons quotes.

Holy crap! ALF is on “The O’Reilly Factor” right now. When did ALF come back??

My response to this is that I didn’t know ALF was conservative! Does this mean O’Reilly eats cats? It definitely puts a different spin on that “Falafel” thing.
