Willy warmer

[edit]
  • ... that Faroese girls would test their boyfriends' readiness for marriage by presenting them with woolly willy warmers?
  • Reviewed: Linus Persson
  • Comment: Slightly tardy on this, but I wanted to try and find an image before nominating. Couldn't find a suitable free-use image but will keep hunting - even if I have to buy one! (but I am NOT modelling it!). There are loads of potential hooks here...
ALTHOOK1: ... that while filming Gone With The Wind, Clark Gable received a willy warmer from Carole Lombard?
ALTHOOK2: ... that the willy warmer could be made of squirrel fur or neigh like a horse?

  • Comment: There is now an image that is totally free to use - a friend kindly ran one up for me today:

Long enough, adequately sourced, neutral tone, sufficiently recent creation. No copyvios found. Source for hook is in Norwegian (?), which I can't read, but given the other sources provided it seems reasonable to AGF on it - personally I'd rather go with ALT2, though: who doesn't want to know about Clark Gable's penis warming arrangements? Image is free and looks fine as a thumbnail. QPQ's been done - looks good to go. Yunshui  12:46, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
Thanks! I did think the Clark Gable one might be a bit too silly, (but certainly attention grabbing) while the first hook appealed to me more as a nice combination of po-faced seriousness and whimsicality (particularly the alliterative "woolly willy warmer") Mabalu (talk) 17:06, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
