@Kyeh Hey, I’ve been watching Svengoolie (son of) since 1979, I’ve been watching MeTV since the moment it existed (earlier, even), I’ve been listening to MeTV FM since the moment it existed, and I have won a book about The Mary Tyler Moore Show AND tickets to see Young Frankenstein introduced by Mel Brooks at the Chicago Theater from their website sweepstakes. I don’t buy anything from their commercials. My only Svengoolie T-shirt is maybe 20 years old. I can spring for a full-price inflatable (and an over-priced sticker sheet to get the free buttons). Hmm, I did buy buttons once from the website, but still.
@Kyeh@sammydog01 I’m going back and forth on it. We have a lawn light post with an outlet, but I’ve never had an inflatable anything before, and will it be safe?! On the other hand, how high are our ceilings? This thing is eight feet tall. I guess I’ll see how overwhelming he is in person.
THAT’S SO EXCITING! Hopefully I can watch again when the leaves fall off the trees.
@sammydog01 I hope the leaves fall off the trees for you soon.
Did it come with rubber chickens to throw at it?
@lonocat That would have cost extra.
@lonocat @mossygreen
At the listed price?!!!

@mossygreen Congrats!
@Kyeh Thank you! It’s almost literally the least I could do!
@Kyeh @mossygreen Is he going on the lawn or in your living room? I vote for the living room.
@Kyeh @mossygreen @sammydog01 He will definitely last longer indoors, even though they’re designed for outdoor use.

@mossygreen @sammydog01 I’d be afraid someone would steal it!
@PooltoyWolf Have you seen the Bluey inflatables at Costco? They’re for Christmas.
@Kyeh They’re adorable!
@Kyeh @mossygreen @sammydog01 Make sure to have a camera on them.
Truly I am afraid others would show up next to it!
HE HAS SHIPPED.
@mossygreen
/giphy exciting
UPDATE: HE IS ON MY STOOP, BUT I AM NOT HOME.
@mossygreen I expect a photo of him in your living room tonight.
/giphy DON’T DISAPPOINT ME
@sammydog01 Still-sealed box alright?
@mossygreen
/giphy it’ll do
@sammydog01
Best I can do tonight.
@mossygreen @sammydog01 COOOL!
