Jabber
Birthday: 10/10/97
Teaching Jabber to move his beak
A large vocabulary he now can speak
Jabber will repeat what you say
Teach him a new word everyday!

Jabber's tag poem is pretty rough, but he makes up for it in bombastic character. I love anything with primary colors and black&white patterns, and I'm a fan of parrots!

Millenium
Birthday: 1/1/99
A brand new century has come to call
Health and happiness to one and all
Bring on the fireworks and all the fun
Let’s keep the party going ’til 2001!

This is one of two Y2K themed bears I own. The velvety purple-pink combined with the emblem of the sun rising over the earth is such an interesting choice. Let's not tell poor Millenium what happens in 2001, though.

Ty 2k
Birthday: 1/1/00
Red, yellow, green and blue
Let’s have some fun me and you
So join the party, and let’s all say
“Happy New Millennium,” from Ty 2K!

...And here's the other one! He's one of the first, if not the first beanie I owned when I started collecting. The confetti pattern is adorable. He reminds me of birthday cake.

Piccadilly (Blue/green)
Birthday: 5/30/98
Laughter Is The
Best Medicine !

Piccadilly.. Oh Piccadilly, where to begin. When I saw him on Beaniepedia I became transfixed by his scruffy, shaggy-dog appearance, his silly clown nose, his vintage sentimental toy feel. I acquired him during a rough time of my life and he was a tremendous comfort to me. Maybe one day I'll have his brother the rainbow version so they can be friends together.

Peace
Birthday: 11/17/02
Let’s say a prayer
That Peace will come
For you, for me
For everyone!

Peace presents us with a noble plea. Her fur is made of the sky on a quiet summer day. Well, Peace, you've sold me. I guess I won't pray for everyone to die and go to hell tonight.

Halo II
Birthday: 2/13/00
Little angel up above
Guard me with your special love
Make sure that you will always be
By my side and close to me!

Halo 2, not to be confused with Halo 2, holds a very special place in my heart. I don't think I could ever part with it. Not long after posing it for its photo, the tag broke off of its ear... I'm not sure what it means, but I hope it'll always be by my side.
