From _Discover_ Magazine’s current issue. Aug 1-7, “15,000 drunken cowboys go nuts consuming 2.5 tons of bull’s balls…” Not to be missed. ---

Really, I had no need to _Discover_ this. ---

They sell them at Coors Field in Denver. I always have at least one batch. They’re really pretty good, they don’t call them Rocky Mountain Oysters for nothing. ---

I got nothing to add, except that I read the title as “Flash: Don’t miss the **Tentacle** Festival”, and wondered what **Sunspace** had been up to. Carry on. ---

And she STEPPED on the _ball_! They had to call the whole thing off. ---

[QUOTE=KlondikeGeoff] .. go nuts consuming 2.5 tons of bull’s balls…" [/QUOTE] This is technically incorrect on a couple of levels. First, since the balls have been removed, they don’t really belong to the bull anymore. So, they’re not the “bull’s balls.” Second, since the bovines in question don’t have balls anymore, they’re not bulls, they’re steers. So, to be correct, this should read, " … go nuts consuming 2.5 tons of balls formerly belonging to animals formerly known as bulls." Nah, even I don’t think that’s very funny. Sorry. ---

They only get to eat four each, because after four balls they have to walk. ---

[/QUOTE] I have to second that. That was my first stop at Coors Field. My second one was at the Clock Tower bar. I always had my balls with fries and green chili. ---

I used to know a guy who had a job unloading trucks. Once he came across a bunch of boxes labeled “bull rods”. His curiosity got the best of him, so he opened one up. Yup. What they were used for or where they were going, I haven’t a clue.
