I’m just waiting for the followup thread: My balls are itching like a motherfucker. ---

**Scylla** , we live one county apart, and I’d love to buy ya a beer and chat awhile, but [sub]well, that’s just too much information for me to handle right now. . . . I mean . . . Jeez![/sub] ---

**Scylla** , considering that thread you posted sometime back about the advantages of having a small penis, I’m surprised you risked “Bobbitization” by running a hedge trimmer down there. That being said, there are worse things you could have done. I once spilled some Absorbine Jr., on my crotch :eek:, and got to spend the next hour curled up in a fetal position on the bathroom floor. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Dave Stewart \* > \*\*I love the read: post ratio this thread has. > > Everyone wants to read, few are brave enough to comment on the near miss. > > My eyes are watering as it is. \*\* I _want_ to post, dammit; I want to say something witty about all this. But I can’t because, every time I picture **Scylla** standing in the bathroom looking back and forth between the boys and the shaver, and then coming to the decision that _this will be a good idea_, I just go off on another ten minute giggle-jag. I sincerely hope your job doesn’t involve face-to-face contact, because no-one will take you seriously when you’re scratching your balls every fifteen seconds. And let’s not mention the fun of ingrown hairs - you’ve got a lot of jolly times coming your way 🙂 ---

I prefer the picture of **Scylla** already embarked on his depilatory adventure and _then_ realising that it as not a good plan, but feeling that he couldn’t back out with one ball half shaved. That’s what makes me giggle. ---

_This song was just on RadioFree OpalCat, couldn’t resist. Apologies to AC/DC_ **Bare Balls** \*He’s ever upper class doper society A gift to SDMB notoriety He used to have some crotchfunk But no longer is that so Thanks to his Norelco he’s got The barest balls of all CHORUS: He’s got bare balls He’s got bare balls And they’re such bare balls No longer dirty bare balls And she’s got bare balls And we’ve got bare balls But **Scylla’s** got the barest balls of them all His balls were always hairy And let me tell you they did sweat And then he’d go and run and run again But now that he’s depilitated And the stubble has returned Everybody says he’ll have Great balls of fire CHORUS Some balls are shaved for charity And some for fancy dress But when they’re shaved for crotch sweat They’re the balls that he likes best His balls were always bouncing To the left and to the right But now he’ll find that his bare balls Are plastered to his thigh CHORUS And he’s just itching to tell you about them Oh he had such wonderful fun Copious crotch sweat, bald avengers, crotchfunk…\* [sub][sup]Now I must go cleanse myself for having spent so much time thinking about balls[/sup][/sub] ---

I think this thread is just another demonstration of the overall superiority of those with reddish blond hair. I could discuss techniques… but I’ll leave that for **thinksnow**. ---

Well just to keep this rolling ( looks around furtively) couple of days ago Wanderer was trimming the playing field… and I hear this earth shattering scream! He had been using scissors and nipped the loose skin of his club. Blood streaming down and he says" God it doesn’t even hurt" Funnier than hell to see the toilet paper stuck to his buddy … like a facial nick… that man scares me… really he does ---
