Yesterday I went to Build-a-Bear. I had never been and I had always secretly wanted to go, but I had no idea it would be such a scene. (Perhaps the fact that we went to the one on 5th and 46th, the biggest Build-a-Bear in the world, on the day before New Year's Eve in New York City explains the fact that there was a line out the door.)
First I had to choose a bear. Then I had to choose a heart for the bear and rub it on various parts of my body (um...all those parts of my body were above the waist, by the way) to ensure that my bear would have something. I'm not sure what, because it was too loud to hear the bear builder. Then I had to decide if I wanted my bear to be soft, medium or hard. (More innuendo.) Then I had to groom the bear. Then I had to choose an outfit for the bear. This was by far the hardest part. He was either going to be a teacher bear, a runner bear, a New York bear or a Mets bear. It turns out that there is no such thing as a runner bear, that a teacher bear requires the purchase of lame teacher accessories and that if I wanted a Mets bear, I could just...buy a Mets bear.
So my bear wears a New York hoodie and no pants, because all the pants (including the red satin panties, ow ow) look lame on him. He's too cool for pants. He's also too cool for the $4 hat that looked adorable on him but...cost $4. For a bear hat. With holes for his ears.
And he's definitely too cool for the $10 miniature Skechers sneakers. That light up. For his bear feet.
Come on. Griffin Magnolia is the coolest bear you know.

As I know no other bears, he is indeed the coolest bear I know. However, her could have a better name:
Griffin Dor
Biffle
Rudy
Anything containing an X or a Z (because if pop culture has taught us anything, it's that things are cooler when they have X's and Z's)
i have two build-a-bears! one's a freshwater fisherman koala, and the other is a scuba diving dog. i got the koala when my sister was feeling depressed and i took her to build-a-bear to cheer her up. she liked it sooooo much that she had her next birthday party there - hence, the dog.
