SpongeBob SquarePants' pet snail "GARY".


I have been collecting stuffed (plush) critters from the TV program Digimon for a number of years now, but no TV character has been liked by me more than Gary, SpongeBob SquarePants' pet sea snail & best friend. Gary meows like a kitty cat; SpongeBob and Sandy the squirrel know what Gary is saying. So when I purchased a Gary plush on Ebay in mid-February 2008, I figured the best thing I could do is publish a web page in his honour.
I never did this with any of the Digimon plush that I've purchased over the years.



This is Gary.

And this is the Gary plush I purchased from Ebay.

When I get up each morning, I look toward him and say
"Good morning Garbear!" (pronounced GAIR'bare
like 'care bear'"), and imagine him meowing in reply.

The name "Garbear" was used on at least several SpongeBob episodes; the four that I can think of right off the bat are "Blackened Sponge", "Krabby Land", "Dumped", and "Krab-Borg".

Gary is such a cute and loveable little mollusk, I think I'll get a SpongeBob plush just to keep him company when I'm not around. :-)
And maybe I'll get him a Patrick Star plush as well...(Update 02-22-08 10:29am PST: I just now got him a Patrick plush!!!) :-)


And this is the Patrick Star I got to keep Garbear company. :-)



And this is SpongeBob himself - Gary's best friend.
Note that Gary is sidling up to him in this photograph. :-)



(NOT) finally, this is Squidward Tennis Balls...er...uh...Tentacles.
He's pretty much the wet blanket - all he's missing is his clarinet - which he plays badly anyway. :-/



Finally (and I really think so this time, because my Paypal account is tapped out), this is Sheldon J. Plankton.
He's Eugene Krab's arch-enemy; and is alway trying to kype the Krabby Patty formula.



This is Eugene Krabs.
He owns the Krusty Krab restaraunt, where you can find Krabby Patties, the tastiest thing under the sea.
SpongeBob occasionally calls Gary "Garbear" (pronounced GAIR'bare like 'care bear'"), so here
are some altered lyrics to the SpongeBob SquarePants opening (theme) song to that effect: 

Captain: Are you ready kids? 
Children: Aye-aye Captain. 
Captain: I can't hear you... 
Children: Aye-Aye Captain!! 
Captain:  Oooooooo! Who lives in a pineapple in Bikini City? 
Children:  Gary GarBear!
Captain:  Who has a hard shell & meows like a kitty?
Children:  Gary GarBear!
Captain:  Who gobbles up food from his snail dish?
Children:  Gary GarBear!
Captain:  So avoid his slime if you realllllly wish!
Children:  Gary GarBear!
Captain: Ready?
Everybody:  Gary GarBear! Gary GarBear! Gary GarBear!
Captain:  Gary...GarBear!

{Gary plays ~9 notes by removing his shell and blowing across the open portion}

(From the episode Have You Seen This Snail?)

Here's the song that Patrick Star wrote. It was on the episode "Sing a Song of Patrick”.
And it was called "I Wrote This" by Patrick Star.
It is in .WAV format; 0.54MB (565,262 bytes) in length. Runtime is 0:51 (51 seconds).

Here are the lyrics for this song:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Twinkle, Twinkle, Patrick Star, 
I made myself a sandwich. 
My mommy named it Fred, 
It tastes like beans and bacon, 
And smells like it's been dead. 
Writing stuff is hard so I use a pointy pencil 
Pointy, Pointy, Pointy, Pointy, Pointy, Point. 
Pee you what's that horrible smell? 
Drum solo! 
(Drum Solo) 
I have a head, 
It ends in a point 
Pointy, Pointy, Pointy, Pointy, Pointy, Point. 
This song is over, 
except for this line, 
You win this round, 
Broccoli!
