30 Rock on Slankets and Couples' Tattoos
On last night's 30 Rock, Liz Lemon adopts a Slanket as her loungewear of choice, after she convinces Tracy Jordan to buy his wife a better anniversary gift than a blanket with arms. But when Tracy learns what Angie really wants, he blames Lemon for forcing him to make a very difficult choice.
Depending on your relationship status, couples' tattoos can be a fine idea — or a very bad one.
The Slanket: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?
For those of us that like to take part in "hands-free" geeky activities like playing our portable gaming devices, reading a book, or surfing the web on our laptops, rest assured knowing that you can stay warm (and I might add, fuzzy) thanks to the Slanket.
Imagine wrapping yourself in a blanket, except this time you don't have to restrict your arms because this time — the blanket has arm sleeves! With the fleece slanket your entire body, including your arms will stay nice and warm while you partake in your geeky extracurricular activities!
Product of the Day: The Slanket
For the couch potato who has everything (nachos, beer, remote control, fashion magazine for during commercials, no life) may I submit: the Slanket? It's a blanket you can wear. I mean, the rigors of television watching necessitate being able to go to the kitchen to get more cheese and/or chips or beer in one swift move.

Would You Wear the Slanket?
Feeling chilly? Then try the Slanket ($44.95), an oversize fleece blanket with sleeves! It might be one of the most ridiculously nerdy things I've ever seen, but at the same time it's actually pretty functional.
The WTF?! Blanket!
First there was The Slanket, then The Snuggie, and now, a product that makes fun of both of them, the WTF?! blanket. It's guaranteed to ruin your sex life, ruin your child's self-esteem, but hey — it comes with a free flashlight!
Tina and Steve Make It a Date Night
Tina Fey and Steve Carell got to work filming Date Night in LA on Thursday. They play a typical married couple that go on a roller coaster of a date in the film, which already includes a cast like Leighton Meester and James Franco. This week we were treated to lots of laughs on new episodes of The Office and 30 Rock — which included talk of slankets and tattoos — but we already can't wait to see Steve and Tina's forces combine with some new talent in one hilarious movie.
Brilliant or Baffling: Snuggie, the Blanket With Sleeves
Have you noticed there's been a whole lot of gab about a blanket with sleeves lately? The Snuggie ($19.95) has taken the infomercial scene by storm, though it's not the first invention of its kind. Two other blankets with sleeves were on the market for a few years before the Snuggie appeared in 2008.
Website of the Day: Pantalaine, Provisioners of America's Finest Plural Clothing
I so want to believe that Pantalaine really has been "Provisioners of America's Finest Plural Clothing" since 1950, but something tells me that they are just getting their jollies making fun of the unfortunately real Slankets and Snuggies out there. Having said that, I kind of like the idea of mutated accessories and clothing that encourages interaction with our fellow humans. Want to know what I'm talking about?
Product of the Day: The Snuggie
I love the arguments for why you need the Snuggie (which is essentially a blanket with sleeves). Blankets are inferior, because "they slip and slide." And with a blanket, there's the risk that your hands can "get trapped inside" while you're on the couch watching the teevee.
