Does anyone besides me laugh or double take when...

... you hear on the radio or news something about the "Ball Drop" (in references to New Years eve activities in Time Square of course).


Perhaps I'm just demented like that.

Still waiting for the other one to drop, Marc? It'll happen, don't you worry. Puberty can be a wonderful, and terrifying time of your life. Don't be afraid to seak counseling, if you need to.

In an earlier life, when I worked in theater, the running gag was to work "ballsack" into every show. People not in on the joke often wondered why French literary realism was discussed in so many plays.

God last night it was so cold I spent a while in the lodge waiting for both to drop. I ended up having to dig them out of my chest cavity somewhere.


Speaking of ball games...

We used to have one we played in college when we'd occasionally go to class drunk.

You have to have a whole row of people you know, and then you start at one end and say "balls" quietly. Then the next person says it a little louder and louder until you get to the end of the row and start back at the beginning. The first person to make the professor notice loses.

It's quite funny because most of the class will hear before the professor will.

My friends truck got stuck in a snow drift last night at 2AM.... We had to walk a mile back to his house....
I was wearing jeans... I froze my balls off...
