Well that depends on a lot of things, really…like who’s doing the tugging, how hard it’s being tugged, the duration of the tugging. But if everything works out just right, then yes, if you tug it, he will…oh never mind.

That sucks. I hear the **SuaSponte** ornaments are going for a lot more than the Barney purses on eBay.

I’m sorry, honey, but what with my massive fan base and hordes of nubile co-eds threatening to bash down my door at all hours, I get swamped. And what the hell, it ain’t all that bad of an idea 😉
