look at him, how happy is old mate. if you walked around hugging everyone all day you too would look like this.
there alot of science to a good hug. so many different hugs. me, i love a good, "there, there". thats a hug with a back rub, maybe even a gentle pat. its gotta be a long hug too. the kind you come out sleepy from. you need a nap after a good hug i reckon. true.
anywho, these guys just walk around melbourne giving out free hugs to everyone. well, not everyone. some do pass it up. me? you kidding! i hugged so many of these guys that i had others free huggers running down bourke street mall to throw their arms around me. so rad.. they even group hugged trams when they stopped. you should have seen the smiles on the drivers faces. i loved these people, bring on the hugs i say.
so, this is dedicated to all my friends here. i'm gonna pass on the love. you pass it on to somebody today too. watch em smile. ready?
come 'ere....
*hug, little there there.. nuzzle*
see, how good did that feel!
now go on and play...
my holga too

Ha!! I got one of these too!! I let him hug Clover. The poor guy wasn't have much luck so he actually had to translate it the sign into German. Germans, are not known for hugging. ;) THANKS!!
