Kendall: Hi, I just ordered a fetus cookie cutter. Which is hilarious, by the way. And wanted to touch base about shipping ASAP--if you can imagine, I need it in a hurry.
Big Pig: KJ... As they say, "The fetus is in the mail." I sent it out this morning USPS and so it should be to you relatively soon.

was my favorite fictional character when i was a senior in high school, according to the womyn at customer service for the college board who helped me retrieve my account information (based on addresses and email addresses i might have had four years ago) so i could see my SAT scores again.

Love for Sale by k.d. lang
from The Black Dahlia,...
Kendall: Hey, I found your site through a google image of the plush uterus, but now I don't see them for sale any more. Lots of great uterine merchandise, but no plush uterus? What's up with that?!
The Guts: Hi Kendall, Ah, the uterus...I will bore you only with the short version of our long sad tale. Basically, we got the plushies tested to make sure they were kosher for kids, and, irony of ironies, all plushies passed -- but the uterus failed the kid test! If you pull on her fallopian tubes too hard, her ovaries pop off and create a choking hazard for children. We're still hoping we can sell the remaining uteri we have in stock as adult toys, so keep posted, we should have it resolved in the next few days.
Kendall: Well I will absolutely buy at least one, for adults who (should, at least) know better than to swallow ovaries!
The Guts: You are cracking me up...Maybe we need to have an ovary swallowing contest.
Kendall: Oh, please don't! No one should be pulling that hard on anyone's fallopian tubes to begin with. When I was a high school debater, we ran a case overturning Buck v. Bell, a 1929 Supreme Court case that legalized forced sterilization. We called ourselves GOP, for Great Ovary Protectors. I like 'em just where they are, when possible.
