Have a ball at the testicle festival!

Well folks, Texas may be full of bull caca, but Montana has some Steer balls! Rock Creek Lodge outside of Clinton is home to the annual Testicle Festival and if you missed it, you're nuts!

Here's how to make your tasty Calf Testicles (Bull Testicles are too tough) -

Peel the membrane off of the calf testicles(about two pounds), marinate them in a couple of cups of beer for a couple of hours or so. Cut into slices for frying.

Mix up a cup of milk with an egg or two for the wash.

Mix up some flour (1 1/2 cups), salt, pepper and a bit of yellow cornmeal (1/4 cup)

Dredge the ball slices in the flour mix, then dip into the egg wash, then back into the flour mix.

Fry the mountain oysters in hot oil (375°F) to cover. They will float and be a nice crispy golden brown when done. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Keep going until all of the testicles have been fried. Serve with hot sauce!

At the Montana Rock Creek Lodge Testicle Festival about two and a half tons of bull testicles are consumed yearly! It is a real adults only festival featuring balls to the wall fun.

Why Stan Fletcher is the world's greatest philosopher...

Stan Fletcher wonders about a lot of things. He is constantly thinking about dead kittens and how they got that way. Sometimes he dreams of becoming a cantaloupe. His kitchen appliances talk to him constantly. They say things that only Stan can understand because he is such a deep thinking philosopher. He also sponsors funny hub contests like this one.

There are times when he is psychically linked to the vegetables in his kitchen appliances and in his garden (where the dead kittens play). He knows right away whenever a turnip needs help or a zucchini is about to commit suicide.

His basement dwelling demon possessed chickens consult Stan frequently about whether the demons are actually "good" or "bad" demons. Dr. Fletcher PhD must figure these things out. Sometimes the goats come over to help out and munch on the tin cans that Stan has thrown at his girl friend when she blames him for saying things like, "I Could Have Sworn I Flushed That" or "Who Farted? I Really Want to Know", when he knows deep down that no one else could have done it.

At times Stan Fletcher dreams of committing the perfect crime like how to rob 7-11 stores and how to have fun with pipe bombs. He is not above using condiments in inappropriate ways to entice hamsters to work like tiny horses and smuggle contraband in or out of a crime scene.

Although Mr. Fletcher constantly encounters ghosts that inhabit his toilet, he actually secretly wishes he were a turtle so that his philosophical meanderings would last longer and he could really figure out if the ghost was just having him on or was serious about creative uses for liver and other organ meats.

In order to understand mankind, philosophically of course, Stan has stooped to cross dressing on Thanksgiving to observe the reactions of his family and friends as they sit around on turkey day to watch all global sports super bowls that use dead kittens as mascots or actual Jai-alai equipment. If the dead kittens don't survive, or if Stan's family actually looks over at Stan in his pink kimono, it will certainly be a great time to barf all over great Aunt Sally's bunions, or so she has been told.

Occasionally, Stan must diet to shed a few unwanted pounds before he goes running off to climb mountains. Therefore, he and his very supportive girl friend contemplate the cat food diet.

"It has it's advantages over other diets", he explains over a crunchy bowl of Meow Mix. "It's very flavorful and can be served in those little crystal dishes!"

Yes, philosophy is Stan Fletcher's strong suit. He wears it while writing more and more hubs on how to craft a dynamite profile that everyone will be in awe of and will click on the "follow Stan Fletcher" icon. He also collects "funnys". Conan O'Brien is not worthy.

Here is a secret that I probably should not reveal in a public hub, but Stan is planning to pop the big question on his girlfriend at the next Rock Creek Lodge Testicle Festival. It's a ballsy move that only the world's greatest philosopher could come up with!

Gain philosophical insight by following Stan and writing weird hubs for his contests!

I was actually a little scared when I saw the title of this hub, and to be honest I'm still a little scared now I read it LOL great informative hub although I think I'll leave calif testicles to other hubbers! Thanks for the chuckle!

Don't be scared! Ball balls are actually quite fun! Sort of like a chili festival.

OK, Austinstar, this was great and awful all at the same time. I'll never mess with you again, as you have shown yourself capable of going for the jugular, which makes sense since you play with blood at work all day.....And even though I'm from Texas, I have never had the balls to try the balls.

An annual testicle festival..how enchanting.I imagine the best testicles in the country will be there.

Will they be having a formal Grand Ball?. Looking at that picture I think I could almost be persuaded to try one, provided it was smothered in enough dip.

Reminds me of a tale. Two gringos in Mexico City restaurant near bullring. Saw other couple eating criolles (balls) from the bullring...said to waiter, we want some. Waiter said "we're out, come next Sunday and I'll save you some.

They returned on the appointed date and time. Waiter comes to table with two tiny, shrivled little spheres. "Hey," said Mr Gringo, "where's the huge ones we saw last week, they are what we want!"

Waiter. "sorry, sir, sometimes the matador looses!"

Bob Hilarious hub.

Stan really should try Friskies Seafood delight, I hear it's an aphrodisiac. He needs all the help he can get.

Well, AS, I must leave this glorious Hub and get to the kitchen-my balls are waiting.

I saw a bullfight in Mexico once, Lela, up close and personal, and I can attest from close observation, that bull's circular endowments could feed a family of six ... twice.

Thanks for alerting me to the Bull Ball Festival - I would be, as you say, nuts to miss it. I think I ate one of them things once in a Texas Greasy Spoon. The menu said camarones (shrimp) but maybe they really were cojones.

Austinstar Hub Author 15 months ago

I wonder what the texture is like? Maybe very close to camarones?

akirchner Level 4 Commenter 15 months ago

I figure the texture must be like chicken gizzards - don't they kinda sorta look like old guy testicles? Sorry Bob - not yours of course! I guess now I'm going to have to dig out some testicle recipes.....wow - what's for dinner tonight? Testicles! Or as my son Patrick said when he was a couple of years old....'my tentacles'....

Austinstar profile image

Austinstar Hub Author 15 months ago

Tentacles! How funny! Maybe I should have gone on a rant and alliterated everything that goes with testosterone and testicles! Could have thrown in tasty and testy somewhere!

Poor Stan. I guess I hurt his feewings. I'll have to do something nice now. And I'm not a nice person :-b

I get a bit mixed up sometimes. Was this hub about how Texas Bulls are great philosophers, and frying Stan's testicles? Or is that just the "hidden subtext?

Austinstar profile image

Austinstar Hub Author 15 months ago

You have seen right through me, Chris! Stan and I have a friendly rivalry going on. You are correct in that Texas Bulls (and Bull-ettes) are great philosophers!

To funny. What a great Hub. I love your humor. Although I was not aware of such a festival, especially in Texas. Thank you for the insight. :-)

Frying your balls take away all the nutrients.In some Chinese restaurants here they serve a soup that is simply called soup#5...better than Viagra.Stan should stop by before heading up to rock creek.Not that he needs it of course.:)

Austinstar profile image

Austinstar Hub Author 15 months ago

I'll be sure to avoid the soup #5! Yeah, I'm pretty sure Stan doesn't need it. People with hairy man boobs have lots of testosterone, hahaha

Impressive balls there Austin. Tasty sounding too. I believe you have enough kahunas for yourself with some left over for the rest of us.

I'll skip on any left over dead kitten soup.

ChrisLincoln profile image

ChrisLincoln Level 1 Commenter 15 months ago

Austinstar,

Did you really have to go there? Stan has messianic tendencies at the best of times and you going all follow-y on him is not going to help...

Do you have any idea how rustrating it is to keep voting his hubs down and unfunny, just to keep him this side of humble (he started it!!!)

BTW Soup #5 is not the same as Chanel #5 - be careful when giving gifts

sueroy - silly girl, Kahunas are Hawaiian priests as in the Big Kahuna! I think you meant cojones, LOL. I've got some of those, I call them Bob.

Hiya Chris, yep Stan started it all right. He made fun of me for telling him he can't spell (a lot). So I thought this would be a good get back.

I'm afraid Stan doesn't know the meaning of Humble or he thinks it's a suburb of Houston (which it is).

You and Nicomp and perhaps I will take him down a couple of pegs. Watcha think?

AustinStar,

I had to laugh, when this hub opened the advertisement attached to it was for Crystal Balls - never saw that one coming!

It looks like Stan is reaching Diety status in the humor forum (I wonder if hub pages has a little icon for that?) and I don't care what he does as long as people are reading funny, a rising tide lifts all boats and all that...

Austin- Darn spell check! Apparently you have to be close to the right spelling, or something like that. I wondered who Bob was.

Thanks for clearing up SO much for me today!!

Ad update - Kittens and Men's support hose.

Bob is my househusband, guitar player, pool boy, yard man, pet sitter, etc...

I'll have to do a hub on Bob one of these days. He's a nut.
