Ok, I’ll admit it. I thought for sure this was going to be about a bad fellatio experience **Eve** had. Like you didn’t, too. I’ll leave now…

I had a small Woody hand puppet as a kid. Never sounded like a commiseration until now.

I’ll have you know though that I don’t remember gnawing on the damn thing.

I used to work at K-mart. When Toy Story first came out, I was stocking the toy aisle shelves.

Found a shelf label under one of the dolls that said “16 inch Talking Woody”

Oh heck, I was thinking Woody Woodpecker. Man, talk about a good name for Pinnochio.

No, **Oxy** , choking interferes with the rhythm, then you have to start all over. Geez, don’t guys know anything about blowjobs? 😉

Reminds of a cartoon I saw after the Toy Story toys came. Two small kids, a boy and a girl, are showing each other their toys:

Boy: I’ve got a Woody!  
Girl: I’ve got a Buzz!

Caption: Little did they know, little Suzie and Joey would repeat this exact conversation years later in a bar…

## I posted this a few weeks ago, on another message board… Seemed fitting to share. I still get the giggles thinking about this: Re: Wait that’s not what you meant… or was it

I worked with this one guy years ago who was REALLY NIAVE. He was the only guy out of about 8 of us at a customer service desk.  
It was Christmas time, and we were slammed with people picking up their layaways. Toy Story was big that year, and as this guy picked up the “Woody” doll out of the box to put in the bag, he started loudly exclaiming:

“OH LOOK! SOMEONE’S GETTING A WOODY FOR CHRISTMAS!!!”

We lost it…I was in tears from laughing so hard!! And he wouldn’t stop! He never realized what he was saying…the best one was when he sighed, and in a pouting voice said:

“Gee, I wish I was getting a woody for Christmas”

Best thread title I’ve seen in ages!

I was thinking golf clubs myself, but hey…

Thanks for the laugh 🙂
