Dislikes: Milk ("yo, I'm lactose intolerant!"), abdominal cramps (natch), mail from anyone over the age of 8, frost bite

Bio: Santa has recently relocated headquarters to an undisclosed location in Philly after delivering himself to a new pal he met on Dogster. Santa's life has become exponentially more adventurous since this change, though he secretly suspects that Rudy and the elves may be having too many parties in the basement with "Tina".

Bio: Snake Monkey is a member of a rare and delightful though highly private (some would say reclusive) breed of creatures. As such, he felt it was his duty to make his presence known to the world, so all could marvel at his unique appearance. His harsh and highly critical counterparts ostracized him and he has had to take on a life of self promotion and speaking engagements on the self help circuit. He is grateful for the recent rise in public interest for all things New Age. Snake Monkey's mantra is "Breathe...breathe... breathe."

In Austin he began making sculptures of the Alamo from styrofoam but ended that venture when he realized the Alamo was in San Antonio. Unable to find a really good landmark in Austin, he resorted to making portraits of his family from pinto beans. Today Mando owns a multi-million dollar art empire in the downtown warehouse distric.

Slavery!

2006-01-16T07:46:00.000-05:00

Stuffedster doesn't know what this parrot's name is. He's likely been held captive for most of his life by an evil syndicate of entrepreneurs. These shysters kidnap magnificent creatures (such as this parrot) at an early age and force them to sell cheap wares. Their audience is, however, unsympathetic and they mostly ignore his presence. This parrot sits in his cage and says things like, "Pretty boy," and "Polly wants a quarter." It's obvious that his spirit is broken. His lack of charm ensures that his freedom was taken in vain. Only young children fall for his dispirited act.

Stuffedster would like to call attention to the plight of these animals. Anyone who knows of other captured creatures should send pictures and information to Stuffedster so that their stories can be posted here and shared with others. Perhaps, eventually, this sort of cruelty will be halted. See sidebar for submission information. Thank you.

Bio: Pac-man is tired of dying and reviving, but he doesn't yet have the discipline to let go of all his desires. Chief amongst the things he would like to do before embarking on an ascetic lifestyle would be to meet Billy Mitchell and Iwatani Toru. Pac-man would like to thank Billy Mitchell for his dedication to him and he would like to live with Iwatani Toru, who Pac-man hopes, would call him by his true name, Puck-man.

Bio: His strong will and pleading demeanor saved him from the elements of a southern, college town. Found face down in a busy crosswalk, his Benfactor couldn't pass by without picking him up. The Benefactor's companions responded to this action with a unanimous and resounding, "Eww, what are you doing? You're keeping it? That's gross, oh, and pathetic." His contemplative manner earned him a spot over the sink in the Benefactor's kitchen. When there's a lot of washing up to be done, they take the time to gaze at each other every so often. Sometimes he looks like he's crying, but he's not.

Dislikes: circus peanuts, diets, long nails
Most proud of: himself
Dreams of: having his own cotton candy machine, dining at a fine french restaurant

Mistakes were made and shortcuts were taken out of frustration, but still, Rebat overcame all obstacles and is happily going about his business. Rebat battles prejudices with his own brand of silent protest and is loved by even the most hardened and cynical who meet him. He's become estranged from his mother, who went on to birth an entire brood of 'physically improved' wombats. When asked about his yellow eyes, his mother responded, "I didn't want to waste good blue."

Dreams of: Being back on the carnival circuit

Bio: The GLAD Carrot was (in a practice that is not condoned in most countries outside of the U.S.) "won" in a Game of Skill at a Great Adventure amusement park in Pennsylvania. The game, which had owned him since his birth, consisted of tossing softballs into angled milk buckets--a game designed for absolute failure. But he was won and taken from his home and brought to a Philadelphia suburb. About seven years later (after mostly living in a closet), he was suddenly thrust into politics and nightlife, before again returning to life in a closet, this time in Framingham, MA, where he currently resides with shirts and games.

Bio: Tofu-san is hard to catch in one place. He darts about often because he is afraid of being eaten. He's pictured here, trying to squeeze some empathy out of a Hostess Cupcake. Tofu-san is currently hiding out in the United States. He was able to escape from Taiwan and what would have been his last moments in a night market hot-pot. Tofu-san recently sent an emissary overseas in the hopes that this will help him get back to his own nation, Japan. Little does he know; this agent ended up in Puerto Rico.

Winnie

2005-12-19T19:42:00.000-05:00

Age: 7+
Kind: mutt dog

Occupation: General Mischief Maker
Obsessions: camoflauge, porn
Dislikes: direct attention, anything lovey-dovey, clean houses, wide-open spaces, yard sales
Most proud of: covert activity around the house, ability to go undetected for months on end
Dreams of: the ultimate hiding place
Family: Piggy (archives: Dec.09.2005)

Bio: Having been rescued from a yard sale, and generally being the silent, smirky type, not much is known about Scroungey's early history. He has happy memories from the early years after the rescue, when he was allowed to spend long hours under the bed, cloaked in dust. There was a rough period when Wyatt moved in with that Girl, and she insisted on Scroungey sleeping in the bed and maintaining his appearence. Things got out of hand one night with a big fat pink stuffed thing and someone lost some eyes. But it was all for the best because Scroungey has been left to his own devices since that time. He delights in occasionally streaking from one side of the house to the other while yelling in a high-pitched voice that only the other dogs can hear, thereby causing them to bark and run around, which in turn causes Wyatt and that Girl to freak out. He giggles to himself a lot.

Snoopy

2005-12-14T12:27:00.000-05:00

Name: Snoopy
Age: 27

Family: The (archives: Nov.30.2005); Fred (archives: Dec.03.2005); Manbay (archives: Dec.07.2005); Socky (archives: Dec.09.2005)

Bio: Snoopy has never felt famous. He's humble, down to earth, and fun. However, Snoopy's winning personality has never swayed The, who maintains that Snoopy's easy-going friendliness is just a manipulative ploy to perpetuate his completely undesevered fame. Snoopy tried for years to convince The that he was being genuinely nice. Since he failed miserably, Snoopy now likes to antagonize The by casually referring to his obscurity and by defying his "royal" edicts. Snoopy also enjoys situations where The is rendered powerless over the forces-that-be (as shown in the photo below). Snoopy adds that these same situations make him feel kinda bad too.

He is The's brother, after all. Snoopy dedicates this bio to The. "The, sorry you're still not famous. Love, Snoopy"

Heart to Heart (H2H)

2005-12-12T19:14:00.000-05:00

Name: H2H (short for Heart to Heart)
Age: 19
Kind: Bear
Home: Athens, GA
Occupation: sleeping companion
Obessions: getting his pajamas washed
Dislikes: the cats because they monopolize the cuddling
Most proud of: his heart
Dreams of: new batteries for his heart
Family: Whiskey (archives: Dec.12.2005)
Friends: none
photo credit: Breana

Bio: Heart to Heart Bear was the only stuffed animal in a large family of stuffed items that never got a proper name. Oddly enough, he was also the only one who didn't get sold at a yard sale when his owner turned 12. Heart to Heart Bear has attended three universities and lived in Hawaii. He often wakes up to find himself shoved between the bed and the wall, or lying on the floor, and he blames this on those rotten cats.

Whiskey

2005-12-12T19:01:00.000-05:00

Name: Whiskey
Age: 2
Kind: Feltsie
Home: Athens, GA

Most proud of: his eternal optimism
Dreams of: having a girlfriend
Family: H2H Bear (archives: Dec.12.2005)
Friends: Yellow (archives: Dec.11.2005)
photo credit: Breana

Bio: Whiskey moved to Athens, GA from California, where he was part of a large group of Feltsies. He would really like a pretty girlfriend, and perhaps to meet a group of sensitive emo-boys to hang out with. Despite his name, he does not drink, because it might cause depression, and he just can't have that. He loves everyone, and just wants someone to love him back.

Yellow

2005-12-11T19:24:00.000-05:00

Name: Yellow (just Yellow, not Yellow Matyok-von Roach)

Family: Bruce Matyok-von Roach (archives: Dec.06.2005); Hong Kong Breese (archives: Dec.06.2005)
Friends: Whiskey (archives: Dec.12.2005)

Correction! Yellow is only Yellow and NOT Yellow Matyok-von Roach (as previously posted). Stuffedster apologizes.

KB writes: "Hi Stuffedster, I think there has been a bit of a mix-up. Yellow, although perhaps posing as a Matyok-von Roach, actually has no true bloodlines from those particular families. He has also gone by the pseudonyms Yellow "J.R." Ewing and Sir Yellow McCartney. As of now we are uncertain as to his actual birth/given name and so we might be safer refering to him as "Yellow" only, so as not to create any confusion. Very little is known about this particular creature; he is quite secretive. There has been some speculation that he was involved in a series of bank robberies, but he was never convicted of any crime, nor does he seem to have any money. I'm sorry I can't be any more help, but I will tell you more as his background unfolds. Thank You, KB"

Obsessions: The Velveteen Rabbit, snuggling with The Girl, soft sheets, cold nights (better for snuggling), Nyquil - the red flavor.

Friends: Hong Kong Breese (archives: Dec. 06. 2005); Fred (archives: Dec.03.2005); Manbay (archives: Dec.07.2005)

Bio: Once a very handsome fellow, Piggy has been loved beyond recognition. He is not terribly bothered by the loss of his looks, as he is on a quest to become real, and views it as a necessary sacrifice. His biggest regret is the loss of both eyes, which coincidentally occured around the time when Scroungey was introduced to the bed. (Nothing has been proved, but Piggy has harbored a strong feeling of resentment towards Scroungey since that time). He has been a soft and loyal pig for over twenty years, and has never lost hope, even when The Girl put him high on a shelf in a closet for one year when she turned thirty. He knew she would come back for him and she did. He is proud of his work as a sleep aid technician and has recently taken on a second job as a book prop in the early evenings.

Bio: Socky is a happy-go-lucky American wombat who just wants to have fun all day long. Born to a large litter in Las Vegas, NV, he grew up thinking that everyone likes to play. Socky was adopted into his current family just after he turned two. Socky's not sure why, but The doesn't like him. Like Fred, Socky was banished from the bed. His favorite memory is of visiting the pizza buffet with his parents and The.

Koala

2005-12-08T09:43:00.000-05:00

Aside from the fact that it is well loved, not much is known about this Austrailan koala. It's nice to see interspecies marsupial love (some wombats are species-ists because they're bitter about not getting enough media attention).

Bio: Manbay is mellow, stoic, helpful, and good-natured. He's unpretentious & straightforward. He's especially good at finding lost objects. Manbay is a reassuring presence who isn't above being silly (even though he has a serious demeanor). Once described as abstract, Manbay is unfettered by a concrete physical form. In fact, in terms of physicality, he's kinda like the natural form of the Pokemon, Ditto.

The time has come

Why should dogs, cats, and people be the only ones hooking up with pals online? Our stuffed animals are important parts of our lives too and they deserve some attention.

Stuffedster will eventually be a stand alone site. It will allow you to create pages that profile your stuffed friends. These pages will be searchable and linkable (think Dogster or Catster) and there will be opportunities for communication (friendly only) between participating parties. Until then, submissions will be uploaded as blog entries and found here.

Send submissions to: stuffedster@gmail.com

Please make sure the images you send are in JPEG (.jpg or .jpeg) format.

Image files should be no larger than 50k.

Picture sizes should be between 300-by-300 pixels and 200-by-200 pixels.

We can't wait to meet your friends! Stuffedster reserves the right to edit the submitted content. Stuffedster is not related to, or affiliated with Dogster or Catster. Stuffedster is not connected to plushies in any way.
