Sweetbread, sweetmeat -- I guess they think if they put "sweet" in front of it no one will notice what it really is. Sweet parody, though.

unique and scary concept....i'm a meat and potatoes man, myself

Some cojones in El Cajon. A sweet parody.

Hurts just to think about it. 555

Heck, it made MY eyes water just reading it - and I'm a WOMAN! Hilarious parody though - a full round of 5's. (I'm going to sing this version to my husband to pay him back for playing TOS constantly in the car!! :^D )

I guess IB, you are just nuts over this delicacy. I used to "prune" young male lambs when I worked on the farm as a lad and into my teens, but we just canned 'em. (and I am not taking about canned in the same sense of preserving). The process was simple. You got this gum band stretcher (gum band is Pittsburghese for rubber band) and fitted it over the jewels which cut off the blood supply. Within a few days it was like so much dead skin. One slice with a sharp knife and instant nueter. It was quite painless. Then a dab of the old purple medicine with the nasty smell and off they'd go none the wiser. Sheep give birth in the late winter/early spring. The males were fattened up and sent to slaughter in about 8 to 10 weeks. The females were kept for the wool that was sheared in the summer. About 6 full time rams were kept onhand for stud service. These were the lucky ones I guess. I've heard this delicacy called "mountain oysters", and not the kind you'd find in Meine.

Good parody. A little nutty but good. Bon Appetit,

"I'd give my left nut to try some....but I'm not hung that way".....beautiful. Now I'm gonna be sick ;-)

That was interesting...I learned something new today...to be careful when I order sweetbread :)

Years ago i was told by a Calif. Rancher that this procedure, along with branding & medical shots was performed on the calves while the upset mother cows watched from the hillside! Afterwards, thelarge kettle boiled, and only the Portuguese Ranchers were allowed to partake of the rocky mtn. oysters!

Ewwwwww.... People actually eat this stuff, and consider it FINE DINING!!!! What the heck is wrong with people!?!?! You should not consider balls a delicacy! Good points brought up here with plenty of humor.

More of a pound cake fan myself

(ABC4S) My comment made earlier still applies. I re-read it and it was just as awesome as the first time - hope it was good for you too =;-)

Writing this parody took...courage. 555

Dee Range already mentioned my favorite lines. I didn't get the Jan and Dean reference, but I do thank you and Guy for curing the blueballs I had from watching the video Mikey linked. =) Well done, IB.

(ABC) meeting up with Jan and Dean was a nice get, IB, and as usual lots of nice lines beautifully paced - 555

(ABC4-S) Heh-heh...balls are funny. This was brilliant, IB - you get 555 for adding in 'gonads' alone! The rest was hilarious, of course. But you wrote 'gonads'. GENIUS.

(ABC) "While here we use the testes Of full-grown bulls and rams", would love to see THAT on "Say What Karaoke"! This was funny, kinda disturbing, but in a hilarious way. It took major cahonas to do this one.

ABC- You gotta have alot of balls to write this, let alone try eating this. Very funny and well done, IB.
