Ramble: Strange Belongings

Going from cute and quirky pieces to 9/11 furby's backstory hit me like a brick wall

This is random but my 4yr recently got a plastic Furby in her Burger King meal and she loves it so much. She calls it Little Buddy. She shares her snacks with her, gives her baths, washes her little bit of hair and takes it to bed every night.

My mom has a memorial flag for her (former?) husband and his son, and so I feel qualified to say that you can put whatever toy you want in a memorial flag case. Re: House of the Future. Reminds me of the Dymaxion House at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn Michigan. It mostly has cars; planes; a train. But it has other stuff too, like the Dymaxion House. What's better is Greenfield Village, which is part of the same property.

omg is that a little Maximus tsum-tsum, I love himb <3

The mandrake plush is absolutely adorable and I love its little face

The sudden cut to Kylo Ren is so funny lmao

i had to find this video again to say i think about 9/11 furby at least twice a week now

I know this video is a number of years old now but I would totally support a Long Furby creation video.

Private :(

the 9/11 ferby took the wind out of me

Your mandrake is amazing

omg... i... LOL... one year at disney tv, man... i can't even remember the celebration but they GAVE OUT those skull totems... and we were all so confused as to what they were. You solved a mystery I didn't know I wanted solved, but it's kinda cool to know what it is hahhaha.

Your a chuck e cheese person? Could you comment on all the fist fights at chuck e cheese?

JENNY ARE THOSE THE STAR WARS: GALAXY OF FEAR NOVELS??

"I would venture to guess..." Not-sufficiently celebrated 🎉 behind the more-immediate comedic ingenuity is a unique, incredibly skilful, & expertly-judged linguistic creativity

I love that a single puzzle piece is just off colored enough to give Edward a patchwork face

I personally loved the costume video, but your comfort is the most important thing.

Wait, Kimi Sparkle was you??? And Friendship is Witchcraft was partly you? I might be the only patron who's familiar with either of those channels but what a twist. Also since other people are doing it and I'm a shameless bandwagoner I'll add that the weirdest thing I own is a pair of hiking boot stilettos. I found them at a thrift store and thought they were so ridiculous that I couldn't not buy them.

That desk... 10 out of 10! Also... Batman is on the wall fighting noise!

Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast just announced a My Little Pony/Magic the Gathering one off crossover product (they are calling it Ponies: the Galloping). It’s a little 3 card box set and they are donating at least a portion of the proceeds to Extra Life. Sounds like something right in your wheelhouse.

The horse-shaped desk is amazing . . . but is it more amazing than giant foam Edward Cullen face? What if the horse-desk isn't the hero, what if it is the bad guy? I wasn't very good at Chuck E. Cheese games as a kid so I never got enough to buy more than like . . . bubblegum or a cheap harmonica. I wonder how many tickets the My Little Pony needed.

Oh I just noticed the shark head pen holder on the horse desk so cool I want one!

I'm a little disappointed that your inspiration for Edward Cullen puzzle wasn't to hang him up by Kylo Ren so they can both brood at you while you eat breakfast, but obviously your solution is both much more practical and bizarre

Your personal comfort is definitely the most important thing. Don't pressure yourself to do a halloween costume video if you're uncomfortable with the kind of... negative attention it may get. Men can be gross, and you shouldn't have to do things you're uncomfortable with. Another possibility would be to get a mannequin to put the costumes on, or ask a friend who is comfortable with it to model for you.

OMG! I have worked in Wakefield for years and I never knew about the theme park. I actually know the office park you're talking about. That is so cool (and creepy)

Jenny, you must have known that mentioning you couldn’t show any illegally purchased animatronics would immediately make us all wonder what ones you have! We need some kind of comment on if YOU have Buzzy... obviously in an effort to rescue him for historical reasons. A simple “I can not confirm or deny...” will be sufficient since we all know those statements are only ever issued when the questions hit a little too close to home ;)

NONE of these items were snatched from the grasp of an ancient evil?!? Booo!! Also my wife and I thought the Halloween costume video was hilarious, but all of your videos are, so definitely mitigate creeps!

awesome batman poster at the end there

Happy 1st of Halloween! Looking forward to planned videos mentioned. Even voting had this-month related choices.

I like the flag holder for tsum tsums! You could always get a second one and have a nice square shaped design. I don't see how it could be controversial/disrespectful.

Sorry you got creeps on the Halloween costumes - I will say I watched it while doing something mindless at work and might have frightened coworkers with my laughing, so of course I'd love another but I get it if you don't want anyone creeping on you dressed as Plo Koon.

I thought the Reject Costumes video was hysterical, but yeah, people being gross and weird is a fair reason to be apprehensive about doing it again, and I believe you've previously said you also wanted to avoid setting up a situation where there's an expectation for you to do a particular video every year re: Reject Costumes. Both fair reasons to avoid it, if that's what you ended up deciding. The weirdest thing I own is probably candles I have of Lenin and Stalin's heads. I got them at the Museum of Communism in Prague [which, hilariously, is above a McDonald's]...they were just too weird not to buy.

Can we get an update on if you plan on doing more twitch streaming?

Thanks for the fun tour! :) I was going to ask about the practicalities of doing the Halloween costume video with a mannequin, but then you wouldn’t really know how they felt to wear, which is a big part of the review, so… maybe not… Also, I really hope you get around to doing a video about the Jeff-the-Killer sequel at some point, because the first one (video, not book) was incredible, and left the story on such a promising/confusing cliff-hanger!

9/11 Furby is like the perfect subject for the lead entry in a book of short stories beloved by The New York Times Book Review.

I think that pod is begging to become a seasonal decoration, like how people fill apothecary jars as home decorations. Fall? Put some yellow and orange fake leaves in it. Halloween? Now there are spider webs on the pod. Snowy Christmas pod with a bow on it. Floral springtime pod. The possibilities are truly endless!

The strangest thing I have is a shell casing from a WW2 Soviet 45mm anti-tank gun round. No idea where it was recovered, but an old friend was like "Do you want this?" and I'm like "Yeah, I guess..."

I have unreasonable respect for any faithful collector of books (probably because they offer me the illusion of alliance), so I cheered in excitement over the Stine-shelf! I wonder, though, whether there is a story explaining how volume 7 has found its home on it twice.

So much cool stuff!! The 9/11 furby blew my mind and I'm glad the porgs have their own dedicated shelf now.

Never knew there were such a thing as Teddy Bear Hospitals until now

I can't believe I'm surprised that there's folks out there comfortable being a creepy about 'girl dressed as spaghetti' but it does feel like a new low for weird niche internet creeps. I did enjoy that video in a normal comedy way, but I understand why you would be uncomfortable with people being Like That
