A while ago, I pointed out some cool plush toys depicting giant microbes. Apparently, though, urologists and colorectal surgeons want in on the action.
Are you ready for...Pee & Poo?

I know what I'm getting for Christmas this year...
Think about it: I can end obnoxious conversations by throwing a plush turd. It's a beautiful thought.
I love that the tattoos are sold out.
I am not ready for Pee and Poo.

I don't think I want to know what the gynecologists are getting for Christmas. Fluor Alba and her playpal Menses?
