Ah, the chumbuddy! I love that thing. Really should need to get some disposable income and grab one. So hard to choose though, shark, orca, or alligator. Might have to go for the alligator since I grew up in Florida.
If I remember right the woman who made this was originally just trying to make a shark plushy as part of a project for college, trying to show that sharks weren't vicious killing machines. Put them in a cuddly new light.
Christmas is approaching, maybe I can guilt someone into getting me something nice, hueheheh.
