Success, which spoils things, has most surely changed the time-honored menu of the great Testicle Festival.
"It's not the same anymore,'' moped Bob Zeier, a 75-year-old retired cattle rancher, sitting in the Ryegate Bar and Cafe and dragging on a Camel filter. "Not the same at all. A bull testicle is just not the same as a calf testicle.''

I would think Mark Morford prefers that delicacy only in its original packaging.

You know, the strangest image just crossed my mind.... A lot of Arabs would walk a mile for a Camel....(one hump or two?) Thank you. I'll be here all week...

"Bull nuts taste like shoe leather,'' said Zeier. "You can have 'em.''Well there it is...'nuff said.

Just look away, keep your eyes that way! You would think that in a fancy restaurant at these prices you could keep the snails off the food! There are so many snails there you can't even see the food! Now take those away and bring us those melted cheese sandwich appetizers you talked me out of!

Say everybody, have you seen my balls?
They're big and salty and brown.
If you ever need a quick pick-me-up
Just stick my balls in your mouth.
Oooh, suck on my chocolate, salty balls.
(Put 'em in your mouth!)
Put 'em in your mouth and suck 'em...

Wow, I think lamb fries are the BEST, too. I can eat dozens and dozens. Could probably enter one of those contests if I put my mind to it. Alas, I never see them on any menus anymore.

A friend of mine used to say "Balzac!" instead of the bullish word. Then he'd pull out a little leather, sorry, a medium-sized leather pouch from his desk drawer and empty his "marbles" on the desk top. It was a Balzac!

There's a squirrel who won't have any problem finding nuts.

But, since this is taking place in the summer, wouldn't this properly be referred to as an "Aestival Testicle Festival?"
Try saying THAT ten times fast! :-)

Call your dad and ask him how they collected those lamb fries in the 'Olden Days'. Unfortunately, my dad died in 1973 when I was a senior in high school however I am quite familiar with how it was done since I worked on a hog farm one summer and helped with the process of castrating young boars.

Alas, I never see them on any menus anymore. Here in Oklahoma City, Cattlemen's Steakhouse has them on the menu as an appetizer.
