Scruffy

Scruffy the Octopus is one of my favorite possessions that I have accumulated from Korea. Awhile ago Kat and I went to the Coex Aquarium. We saw the fish and the turtles and the sharks and then were spat out into the gift store, and this marketing ploy worked. I like Scruffy-- not only because they took the slimiest, funkiest sea creature they could and made it into a plush toy-- but also because they made this plush toy a puppet. You can insert you hand into Scruffy and manipulate his tentacles. How cool is that? Right now Scruffy sits atop of the gumdo sword guarding my apartment.
