Is everyone out buying Geiger Counters and taking their Iodine?

Gawd. I should paypal you some money to send me some of that. I want to sneak it into my brothers birthday party….. 😉

Because nothing says romance like cow balls in pastry.

In a burst of pedantic fueled enthusiasm, I must point out that cows don’t have balls — cows are female cattle. Bulls have balls. Besides, “bull balls in pastry” rolls off the tongue better………

/pedantic fit

I like the package labeling! “2 Cock & Bull Pies”! I can just imagine bringing that into my office, run by a pair of politically correct and utterly non-humorous mentally retarded, overpaid gits.

The shock alone would have all the Rocky Mountain Oyster yahoos seriously yucking it up in the break area. Add in Spotted Dick for desert, and we wouldn’t get any work done for a week.

I got spotted dick for my office and it was a huge success, people were making jokes for weeks. If I can find local cock and bull pie, I might get some and try for a repeat.

I’m confused. Why is it called “cock & bull” pie, when it contains testicle meat? What is the British slang for male reproductive organs, if neither cock nor dick is defined in that fashion?

I recall “swinging cod” being used as a descriptor of the aforementioned appendage, but otherwise can’t recall any other euphemistic terms.

Cock and Bull pies?

They musta offed the rooster, too. Those bastards.

I have never heard of spotted dick, except herewithin, but would imagine it to apply to folks with skin conditions like vitiligo. Or would that be mottled dick? Not realy all that curious actually about the answer to that.

The other side is that the above could rightfully be called a “cock and bull” story. So it seems.

Other than that, I avoid any testicles which are not original equipment on yours truly. Race, species and genus aside, I just say stay away from nuts, in general.

Those who eat nuts, pig nuts around my area, known here as ‘mountain oysters’, are themselves nuts. And since when did nuts qualify as oysters, a slimy product of the ocean? That one defies rational explanation to me.

Sandman, saying I got nothin here. thanks.

Never eaten pig’s knackers, nor bull’s either – if you’re going to eat things that have been hanging off an animal’s genitourinary system, stick to kidneys. Steak and Kidney Pie is Very Very Good Eats.

Also called “calf fries,” in my part of the country.

“Rocky Mountain Oysters”

You don’t chew them, just slide ’em down. Hence the comparison to sea oysters.

Linked etymologically to “a cock-and-bull story”?

ew

I’ll…errrr…pass.

It ought to be a crime to make something so ick look so tasty, though.

Dear JeffS,

In a burst of pedantic-fuelled enthusiasms, I must point out that bulls still have their balls. If it’s in a pastry shell it’s probably a steer’s balls.

eeew, I am so glad that the Gunton isn’t even going to suggest this. In fact, when I asked him about it, he said it was a fallacious story and when I told him that it was an actual pie and eaten during Valentine’s day he went, ew.

We are, however, having a full and proper English breakfast including but not limited to: fried tomato, mushrooms and beans on toast. He’s eating the fried stuff and while I won’t eat my beans on the toast, I will have beans and toast. And for dinner I’m making lasagna. Yummy. 🙂

The only pie we eat (because it’s the only one I’ve perfected) is Steak & Ale pie.

Dear Jeff and Stark,

Shouldn’t it really be “pedantry-fuelled”?

Signed,
Neener, neener

Sweas: well, it could be “pedantic fuel(l)ed enthusiasm” (number of l’s depending on which side of the Atlantic you are on), which would mean fueled enthusiasm that was pedantic. Now, just what “fueled enthusiasm” might be is beyond me.

With the hyphen, however, is a different story. Not much scope for creative reinterpretation there.

Dear Weasel,

It didn’t actually make sense when I typed it, but now that I think about it, it makes even less sense.

Balls.

Shouldn’t it really be “pedantry-fuelled”?

😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯

I’d rather you people wouldn’t make jokes about “Rockie Mountain Oysters.” My uncle died eating them.

Pig dragged him under a fence…

Rocky Mountain oysters!!! YUMM!!!
Oh, by the way, I GOT MY DICK!!!
(Hey Bossman, Do I get a raise? ) inquires I at my workplace…..

Well, a day late (or more) and definitely a dollar short, I offer this bit of funny to go with the thread’s theme:

Two Lumps: BALLS!!!
