I got one just to try to get it to cuss. It didn't work.

I found one on the side of the road while walking around many years ago. His eyelids were gone and the fabric on his ears were gone, so they looked like thin horns. I called him the Gnome and made him the prime centerpiece in a false religion I created called Kinkadism. It was fun.
I've never had one that worked, so I never got to mess around with the learning capabilities and whatnot.

I've always wanted the Mogwai variant. No particular reason, just to have it.

My furby had a "seizure" when the battery acid leaked in the battery compartment and ruined him internally. He made weird noises and just died...sad story.
He was always sick though, sneezing and shit, getting other furbies sick and such, I suppose it was just his time.

Fun Fact: You can't actually teach a Furby words. Furbies were immediately banned from government buildings when they first debuted, for fear that they could be used to record government secrets, but a Furby couldn't actually fucking learn. A Furby starts off speaking primarily in its nonsense Furbish language, then as time progresses, it learns an increasing amount of preset English terms. When they reintroduced Furbies a few years ago, maybe they increased their learning capacity, I dunno. The newer Furbies were fucking ugly though.
I have:
A Furby (working)
Baby Furby (died because I left a pair of batteries in it too long and they ate away at battery case)
Interactive Yoda (working)
Interactive Yoda is a piece of shit. The latex they used to make him is fucking cheap, so after about 6 months, his eyelids fall off and looks like he possessed when he's "sleeping".

Funny story was that I tried to get my Fubry to talk like The Rock and Stone Cold back in 1999. That didn't work either. However it would have been sweet to hear the Fubry say "Do ya smelllllllllll!?" or "...and that's the bottom line because Stone Cold said so!"

Dude, I had (and still have) a Tamagotchi, two Digimon and a Tamagotchi Angel.
And as for Furby, I never had one, and I'm glad I never did.

They make (or at least made) devkits that led you hack Furby and completely replace all his voice clips with ones of your choosing.

I got a Furby for Christmas one year and my parents terrorized it. They shook it and held it upside down until it went "Ohhhh, no joke la!" Then we left it in the freezer.

I like my furbies like I like my babies; shaken, not stirred.
