Oh, you can't inflict a Beanie craze on those poor Iraqis!

My wife has hundreds of those stupid things, and also every stuffed animal she ever owned from childhood till now. I'll never get her to part with them though.

Oh, you can't inflict a Beanie craze on those poor Iraqis!

But they won't KNOW it's a craze cause the TY corporation won't have spent millions of dollars brainwashing the children there.

They're actually just the right size for a little one to carry around all the time and have their own little friend. I liked the Beanies, myself, though I don't think there was ever one for my birthday. :o(
