I love the guy's optimism--as if any government would allow him to adopt children after a stunt like this. He should just be happy not to have qualified for this year's Darwin Awards.

All I can say is - WOW!

After reading that, my n*ts have hidden and may not come out for a while.

what the fuck. he is either lying and is completely insane, or he wanted the publicity. u dont cut off ur nuts then pretend like its no big deal. i have dreaded sharp objects around my waist level for years now, and i cannot even picture what the scene was like at this social club. man: HEY EVERYONE, LOOK AT MY NUTS IN THIS BAG!!! fellow club members: OH MY GOD MAN, WHAT THE HELL IS WRING WITH U?? (one man runs up and kicks the man in his bloodied crotch and screams in delight as the man falls over and bleeds to death, while everyone else shrugs off the dying idiot and goes back to their business)

You have to admit, it took balls to do that.

"I still want a family - maybe I'll adopt" Your other options being...? u dont cut off ur nuts then pretend like its no big deal Someone's never been to Wales.

I love how matter-of-fact the whole story is, like this is the kind of thing any of us could have done after a stirring victory and a couple of pints. Them Welshfolk do the darndest things! Let me say this, for the record: I have no desire to breed, but if (IF) the Leafs win the Stanley Cup in my lifetime, I may buy a round for whatever house I'm in, and maybe I'll even commemorate the occasion with a tasteful and non-public tattoo, but "Vladimir" and "Estragon" are staying right at home with my Sam Beckett, thank you very much.

I clearly remember this story from last february, and in fact wrote about it in several columns and tried getting some updates. At first I thought it an urban legend, but he did in fact cut them, he was in critical condition, and was released to psychiatric counselling.

Now I don't know which I find more disturbing, the Taff Testicle Topiary or the fact that Chico has names for his bits...

I swear if the Bear's beat the Panthers this week I'll...nope, scratch that. Man, this guy needs to learn the saying I've dealt with almost my entire life, "There's always next year."

Lovely singing voice- Eunuch

No mention of alcohol anywhere in the story? That's just bad reporting. I would think it would take a lot of self-medicating to be able to go through with ten-minutes of dull snippers-style surgery.

Would an Australian newspaper bother to mention if alcohol consumption was involved? Seems a mite dingo bites sheila, Bruce.

If England beats the All Blacks on Saturday, there will probably be a lot more testicles laying waste on British pub & tavern floors.

That's right, yerfatma - I'll set 'em up, and you knock 'em down.

If Fresno State beats SC this weekend, keep me away from any sharp objects because I'm gonna be celebrating. And what better way to celebrate than showing up at your favorite watering hole with your balls in a bag? That's a great idea. And fun, too. YEAH, BABY! GO DOGS!!

Actually, I've thought about it a little. I don't think I'll be hacking off the twins. Funny how things look different when you're sober.

posted by Desert Dog at 07:24 PM on November 16, 2005

Desert Dog, as an SC alum, let me assure you that #20 ranking or not your twins are in no danger on Saturday. Boise State != USC, 'kay?

And what better way to celebrate than showing up at your favorite watering hole with your balls in a bag? I dunno about the rest of you, but I always carry my balls around in a bag...or a sack, as it were...

Yeah, billysaysthis, I'm pretty sure they're safe. I know Boise can't hold SC's jock. All I'm saying is if SC comes out flat and turns the ball over a couple times, they might be in for a game. And we're #16. So until the game is over, please don't run over my puppy.

Per my personal website, DD, we don't kill kittens puppies.

That nutjob really got the sac. What a bunch of bollocks!
