Hello everyone, this is Laurie from the Stuffed Zoo. I’ve been feeling a little under the weather lately because of the change in seasons. I never know whether to expect warm or cold, and it throws my whole system out of whack. So *cough cough* when I sit here at home wishing I could be back [...]

Braving the Realm of the Sock Monkeys - Part 2

Acquisitioner — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 23:59:15 +0000

When Jane and Abby materialized within the Sock Monkey Realm, they found themselves in a dark cave. Jane flipped on the stuffocator's light so they could see their surroundings properly, but the light bounced and reflected off of the large crystals that jutted from the walls like broken mirrors, making it difficult for Jane and Abby to see anything at all through the glare. From the back of the cave they heard a yelp and a loud crashing noise, followed by what sounded like twenty people all scratching their nails on a blackboard at once.

It was a dark and stormy night when Abby first learned of the Sock Monkeys. Abby and Jane sat together on a tattered sofa in the warehouse wing of the Stuffed Zoo, talking about Jane's latest acquisition, a stuffed monkey tree house, while the rain battered the metal roofing with a deafening clatter. "So when can I be an Acquisitioner?" Abby asked, not quite disguising the whine in her voice. "Well, Abby, when you prove that you can handle the responsibility!"

Stuffocator Plans Released to Public

Acquisitioner — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 18:56:09 +0000

Good morning, everyone. This is Finn from the Stuffed Zoo research and technology division. Due to a federal injunction, I have been forced to release the plans for my top-secret device, the Stuffocator, to the public. I believe that, far from wanting the technology to become available to everyone, the National Security Agency wants it to be dismissed as a hoax in an attempt to label me as a mad man instead of a mad scientist.

Jane Takes Buster the Cool Stuffed Cow Back to the Zoo

Acquisitioner — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 23:34:30 +0000

Hi everyone, this is Jane from the Stuffed Zoo. Sometimes my weekends can get a little bit hectic, and I must say that Sherbert getting stuck on that roof didn't do much for my stress level, so I went out to a dance club over the weekend to blow off some steam. I usually go to clubs that play techno music because I love to do the robot, and I can keep my stuffocator with me as part of a costume.

Jane Rescues Molly the Stuffed Woolly Mammoth Part 2

Acquisitioner — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 19:14:27 +0000

From Part 1: When I arrived, I was thrown in the middle of a frigid snowstorm. The impact of the cold air on my lungs nearly made me choke! I put on my portable heating poncho (powered by the Stuffocator) and walked forward into the driving snowstorm, barely able to see three feet in front of me. But to my great joy, after only a few miles, I saw four feet in front of me. Four big, hairy, ones. -----------------------------------------
