Looks like Candy, but doesn't smell like it.
1995 was a very trying year. We learned that our friend John Candy (R.I.P.) was in India trying to buy a some illegal Cuddles. John got caught at the Indi-Bangladesh border with 3 Border Collies and 2 small Hindi children (they're not illegal to buy, but illegal to eat outside of India) underneath his "Panama Jack" shirt. much like special forces, we quickly deployed to the scene. John was in rough shape. he hadn't eaten in 6 hrs and was dying. after bribing the authorities with Levi 501's and George Micheal. Luckily for Mr. Candy, Keith had a Mr. Goodbar with him and John quickly regained his strength. John learned his lesson the hard way. he lost his Collies and Hindi Kids. All we got were these cool Elephants named Ruth, Karen, and Jonathon.

We Be Salmon
Contrary to 1995, 1996 brought better news and even greater travel. Feeling stressed and pretty much bored, Jäson, Keith and Jacq wanted to go on a "Round-Up." To their luck, the CBs learned that a posse of Snappers were migrating from San Fran to Australia, via Fiji. Jäson has a great knowledge of Fiji so the CBs planned to "ambush" the potential Cuddles there. Gathering the support of local bushmen and mega-star David Hasselhoff, Jäson and Keith cast the nets baited with double-stuff Oreos. 5 days later, the Snappers were caught, processed, and sent home to headquarters. Keith got his Snapper, Jäson got his, and David Hasselhoff got a great tan and finished his album.

Just Too Swede!
1999: the last CuddleBreeder expedition before Ynot2K. something was amiss. Sweden was not an anticipated destination for the CBs. Rumors were being spread of Ben&Jerry selling their "private stock" of soft-shell turtles and other mythical hybrids. Keith, with a nose for a great deal recommended we go check it out. Upon arrival, the CBs met up with Ted Danson who was working on his latest failed sitcom. Ted got pissed when Jacq asked where Whoopi was. The CBs almost bought B&J's collection only to back out when they discovered the "Magical Unicorn of Desire" was only a spotted-pony with candle glued to its head, named Alejandro. Keith just shrugged and continued finishing his "Chunky Monkey." Jäson said "Cherry Garcia" was a quitter and Jacq was just Jacq.
Picture: Stockholm. it was cool, dude, really.
