WTFBBQ???!!!

[DavCat]

And then there's this story, which sorta kinda is related... I sent it in but I think I'll add it here...
=============

headline: Darling, I am going to give you syphilis for Christmas

quote: "Getty cozy with diseases might not be your idea of a good time but GIANTmicrobes are hoping they will be the hottest thing since the teddy bear. The company has taken microscope images of viruses and turned them into larger than life -- much much larger thankfully -- soft toys."

Ewwwwwww!!!!!

I'm going to order Sadie a cuddly little liver.

"Awwwwww, ain't that cute! Sadie has her Momma's eyes, and her Daddy's liver!"

[CJrun]

Dave, if you check back to last December/January, you'll find a Christmas gift suggestion with better looking stuffed animals of grosser stuffed diseases... should you need some.

[Siouxie]

Ewww and LOL

DavCat, I sent that one in too...the microbe one?? pretty funny yet yucky at the same time!

The sales blurb about the Ebola toy says: "Since its discovery in 1976 Ebola has become the T Rex of microbes. Share the love."

What's the ad say - "You Know You Want It" ?

[ScottMGS]

Could I go back and un-read the bullet items at the end of the story? Please?

[Leetie]

UTERUS!

What, no prostate? I guess they don't want people to realize the uncomfortable fact that the traditional heart shape <3 looks much more like a prostate (especially an enlarged one) than a real heart.

Sorry, haven't finished my coffee yet. The link

True fact: I'm getting my gall bladder removed Wednesday. Should I ask the surgeon to put it in Tupperware in case anyone wants it? Why go for a plushie when you can have the real thing? (Or, you can make a plushie by covering it with dryer lint.)

[Lardog]

I'll never look at my wifes "Pooky" teddy bear the same again...

Remember the infectious diseases ties?
I could use a few stuffed body parts for when our dog tears the stuffin' outta the kids' stuffed animals. But at $18 each, they'd tear the stuffin' outta my wallet.

i asked my mom 'what present's under the tree?

Happy entrails to Insom!

[Annie Where-but-here]

*snork* @ insom- it's a small wound after all.

[DavCat]

What organ and which disease microbe to you think would best suit Dave? Or Judi?

Last year, my dad the high school science teacher gave the retiring sex ed teacher (who, coincidentally, was MY sex ed teacher) the gonorrhea plushie on her last day. Yeah, my dad thinks he's a laugh riot...

...and he is. <3
