Uh oh, somebody triggered the “independent thought” alarm. Sorry, we’ll refrain from having our own opinions any longer. Thank you for the advice. We’re gonna buy a Cobi plush doll off eBay now.

Sorry but you are completely wrong about Cobi. It was a big symbol of Barcelona’s Game and everyone knows that except you. Try to get better information before writing instead of publishing your own idea.

Quatchi is described as “is a young shy sasquatch who comes from the mysterious forests of Canada and loves to explore new places”, and I think I relate to him a bit on account of sharing the friendly bearded appearance among other wide-bodied traits. I have been a big Quatchi fan since I first heard his voice — it’s just too hilarious. Could I have resisted hugging a full-size one?
