Apparently so. He claimed he’d do it, and he did it!
Discuss.
What the high holy fuck is wrong with this guy?
A lot.
Forget having kids, he likely won’t be able to please the missus, either.
Wonder if he’ll get the prosthetics like they make for dogs?
There’s no way in hell I’d let a guy who’d do something like this adopt a kid either.
Hmm…the first time I clicked, it wanted me to login. I try again, I can see it just fine.
Just in case others can’t get it to work without a log in, here’s a link to BugMeNot.
Sorry, I forgot to mention it. Beside the login is a “free entry” button. You have to see an ad, but in the upper right-hand corner is a “skip ad” button, so it’s not too much of a pain. Sorry about that.
And he did this because his team won?!? 
:eek:
Dude’s got… er… had balls. :rolleyes:
Beer. :rolleyes: :smack:
Next question.
Somebody give that man a Darwin Award.
If it were a rugby player, I wouldn’t be so surprised. I mean, I love rugby players, but they are a breed apart.
But a rugby fan? it boggles.
There are men who (for whatever reason) have an overwhelmingly strong compulsion to castrate themselves. I suspect this incident and the self mutliators breezy attitude about being castrated speak more to something he wanted to do and found a convenient excuse to go for it. Plus the horrific description of how much work he had to put into with a blunt pair fo snips speaks to more than just intoxication being the prime mover in this (IMO).
That poor sonofabitch. Temporary insanity anyone?
Wow, a man who can keep a promise. The rarest kind!
Serious deja vu going on here. I was just sure the thread itself was a Lazarus thread, raised from the dead, that someone had appended a new post to. I mean, I’m sure I read about the same thing happening awhile back and that I read about it first on an older SDMB thread.
(sports fan, statement to other sports fans in bar, specified sports-outcome condition is met, does the deed at home and staggers to bar to show them, everyone freaks, doctor says it’s amazing he could walk that far w/o passing out from blood loss…any of this ringing a bell for anyone else?)
All together, now:
Aussie! Aussie! Aussie! OY! OY! OY!
Aha, the article did say it happened in February…
bingo!

heh. If someone kicks him in the balls he can just stand there with a wicked grin on his face.
I remember reading that there was something of an epidemic of self-castration in Nineteenth Century America. Boston Corbett, the “Jack Ruby of the Lincoln assassination” (that is, the man who shot John Wilkes Booth) was a self-castrator. (Or should I say self-castratee? I guess it’s the same thing.)
Which leads one to wonder, is there any act so bizarre, so self-destructive, or so painful that somebody, somewhere doesn’t feel an obsessive compulsion to do it?
At least he won’t be able to breed kids to pass the stupid gene to. The mind boggles.
