Please don't choke on the ovaries.

If I was a young man of the age of two or three, and if I managed to survive the ovaries, I think I'd still be scarred for life by the scary countenance of a purple monster that looks like it will wrap its fallopian tubes around my neck and choke me in that manner.

I once threatened to strangle someone with their fallopian tubes...you know, behind her back, and in a totally facetious way... mostly. It would have killed two birds with one stone, so to speak - you know since she shouldn't have been allowed to breed...?

It seemed funny at the time.

Oh if only I'd bothered to have children before the Great Uterus Recall of 2009! Dammit!

If your plush uterus is NOT accessible to young children, and you wish to keep your beloved uterus, you may opt-out via email.

This did not scare me as much as the haunted vagina.

Please don't choke on the balls.

okay that was don't swing the balls, but here's don't choke on them either

okay they were the same and it was somewhat derailing, so on topic, what is the allure again? Where is the comfort in turning the nightlight on and tucking a child in with their favorite intestine while they suck on the duodenum?

Ah, living next door to the whorehouse. Always good for a chuckle.

As a diabetic, I was excited to buy the gimme some sugar pancreas T, but sadly it does not secrete insulin or stay color fast. I had more fun with the particle zoo, also at the same renegade craft fair (strange absence of Lorenzo Lamas merchandise though).

or opt-out via email if the uterus is not accessible to children

A uterus is not likely accessible by children over say, a week old.

Mmmm, all these plush organs are making me hungry for plush meat!

You know, if you're really into the idea of a toy uterus but are spooked by the safety of this particular model, you could knit your own that's safer.

I would like to embed the "five fingers" scene from Chasing Amy here, but sadly MeFi won't let me.

It's a shame. I liked it, because it looks so well made and unique. Still, if you're looking for a plush uterus that isn't a choking hazard, etsy has you covered.

Please send an email to the address below with the subject line, "UTERUS OPT OUT".

Does this work? 'Cause I've definitely got a reason to opt out of my uterus this week.

Wah-wah.

Kid-safe, heavy-duty uterus. (Comes with common pathologies)

On the menu of King Wah, an excellent dive Chinese restaurant in Sunnyvale, California is "Guts on Rice", so your little one can safely ingest all the guts she wants.

Speaking of careful avoidance of ovaries, I must remember to set a date for my fugu dinner.

I choke on my ovaries anytime anyone walks by me with the deadly baby + puppy combo. SO MUCH ESTROGEN IS BEING PRODUCED IT IS CUTTING OFF MY OXYGEN.

These look related to those ugly dolls. Perhaps people just like amorphous stuffed things with adorable eyes.

But what if my uterus isn't plush? Why do I always have to be different?

Well, seems to me your problem possibly stems less from owning a uterus that isn't plush... and more from the combination of owning a uterus that isn't plush whilst being named Mike. Because yeah, that's a cross to bear.
