and my Tamogatchi too. I mean, I think back to my Furby and say to myself, "Man, You had so much potential, and I never tapped into it like I could have".
I wonder if I can still find a Tickle-me-Elmo?
(I know already! It's on eBay!)

I need something. My son resurrected my niece's Furby and to hear it talk and babble was an emotional security blanket for me. I have a co-worker who talks to one in the car ride home each day. That is devotion! (plus a bit wierd, too).

I always thought furbies were a rip off of the movie Gremlins. We once speculated that they were called furbies instead of Gremlins because they couldn't get the rights.

There actually was a lawsuit about that. But I thought Mogwais were cuddly. Furbies may have been oddly compelling and cute by some definitions, but I didn't think they were cuddly. The eyes were to glittery for one thing, and then there was the Manson-esque emblem on the forehead.

Furbies are not normal. I remember the Furby that my friend had, and it really creeped him out. While playing at his house one day, we pulled it out of the garage. The first thing it said was "No light, no play". He swears no one taught it to say that.

My wife offered to try to find my Furby, but after 2 moves, I am afraid he is hiding with all the unmatched socks...

Well, as you can see, the opening bid for that child of mine is a 12 inch Boba Fett from the late 70's. Do you in fact have one of these in your possession?

Yes I do and the backpack and grappling hook are around someplace as well. The original string broke on the grappling hook, so it has been replaced. And to think, the day I picked Boba Fett off the shelf, I almost picked Chewbacca...
