Update On Guy Who Cut Off His Mangerines In Tribute To Winning Rugby Team

This guy.

A recap:

Geoffrey Huish, 31, performed the impromptu self-surgery in February when his beloved Wales beat world champions England.

After performing the deed, Mr Huish put his severed anatomy in a bag and took them to his local social club to show fellow fans.

Why'd he do it? Well, he's still not really sure.

A rugby fan who cut out his testicles with wire cutters to mark a Wales victory is at a loss to explain why he did it.

He's also at a loss to reproduce by natural means.

You know, we all have silly ideas like this. "If I get this promotion, I'll burn down the office just to show how much I appreciate it." Or, "Jesus, this coffee is so good I think I'll stick my hand into this industrial saw and maim myself." Or, "I really love it when the leaves turn color. I love the autumn so much that, damnit, I'm going to sell myself into degrading Thai gay prostitution and then wind up getting slashed to death under a bridge abutment."

The only thing separating him from a lot of us is follow-through. And for that he should be praised.

Well I for one am quite relieved that this fucktard has removed his ability to reproduce.

Yet he says he wants to have children, so maybe he'll adopt. Yeah, right.

I am sitting here, still in some sort of amazement, thinking about being so screwed in the head that a guy takes a dull set of wire cutters and slowly, over a span of ten minutes, cuts off his own nuts.

I barely snipped my bag with a pair of sharp scissors one time doing some 'maintenance' and damned near threw up.

Compos "Poopy-pants" Mentis trims his bush. With scissors.

Wow. More and more material for the next flame war.

So in other words nothing new happened, no new information, they just wanted another bite at this story to fill up dead tree space.

It's a nice object lesson, however, that a reporter couldn't bring himself to suggest the answer of "extreme mental illness" that 99.9% of the readership would arrive at, objectivity and what not.

The other 00.1% know that you're not supposed to cut them off when your teams wins, you'rs supposed to cut one off, shuck it out of the casing, sew it back in with the other one, and use the casing to make a handy change purse with your team logo branded on it.

I mean, duh..

When I read the guy's first-person account of his denuttification, you couldn't have uncrossed my legs with the jaws of life. Sure, this idiot gets mad props for removing himself from the gene pool, but I really, really don't want to hear about the specifics.

Fair warning: if it turns out that rugby's Number-One Fan made a video of the procedure (at this point, I'm not ruling anything out) and anyone "helpfully" provides a link to said video, then I will find that person. And they will regret it.

Sometimes you just have to say "what the fuck." He clearly did . . .

Posted by: Sharkman on November 18, 2005 11:04 AM

Trimmed. Not trims. It was several years back and it was the first and last damned time a pair of scissors has been anywhere near my package.

And I could say that I had tea bagged your mother and she wouldn't let go so I threatened to trim her moustache but got myself instead.

Truth is I was having a vasectomy and needed to knock down the rough before I could shave the fairway, so to speak.

My wife offered to do the pre-op shave for me. I took one look at the razor nick on her knee, and said "thanks honey, I got it".

No effing way the hand that rocked the cradle was getting anywhere near the twins with a razor.

"So I started hacking away at my tackle."

I'd like to say something funny here, but . . . whew, I . . . um . . . speechless.

What's a Friday at Ace of Spades HQ without a little genital mutilation? :)

It's amazing how every day, I learn new things about the Ace o' SpadesTM lifestyle.

Wait a minute. Testing, testingTM. Does this superscript thing work?

Posted by: OregonMuse on November 18, 2005 04:50 PM

No, I guess it doesn't. Hey ace, your blog is broken.

Months ago, I reported that the final Zodiac cypher had been cracked and the name of the killer revealed. And the name of the killer turned out to be someone suspected in the unsolved Black Dahlia murder. The general tone of my mention of this was "serious you guys, this is real."
Well, it's not real. It's total bullshit.
Sorry about that. I did two things: 1, I bought into something, a conspiracy theory really, because it was new and exciting. And 2, I allowed a self-declared "expert" to snow me over with his "expert" claims about solving ciphers, an alleged expertise I could not challenge because I know practically nothing about codebreaking. I remember being similarly swindled by self-declared "experts" babbling about "chromatic aberrations." (Although I didn't really buy into that, but I found it "interesting" and I wasn't strongly skeptical about it. Hey they said they're "experts," they must know that they're talking about, right?)
I screwed up. It won't be the last time, I'm sure.

Chocolate Cherry Cordial
You must not think me mad when I tell you what I found below the thin shell of chocolate used to disguise this bonbon's true face. Yes! Hidden beneath its rich exterior is a hideously moist cherry cordial! What deranged architect could have engineered this non-Euclidean aberration? I dare not speculate.

Caramel Chew
There is a dimension ruled by a blind caramel God-King who sits on a vast, cyclopean milk-chocolate throne while his mindless, gooey followers dance to the piping of crazed flutes. It is said that there are gateways in our world that lead to this caramel hell-planet. The delectable Caramel Chew may be one such portal.

On "Professor" Arday:
He was their living lawn jockey, period. They won't say that 'cause they're sensitive and down with his struggle and all. He was there to appease and flatter their sense of being uplifters of the oppressed. In truth, he served as their living lawn jockey -- no more, no less, and unworthy of even a second thought on their part. Tokenism, pure and simple.

The Short Unhappy Life of a Russian Soldier: Why recruits die in 20-30 minutes
Interesting video. Some key parts: drones were responsible for 70-80% of all battlefield deaths in mid-2025, and I bet it's higher now. The Russian army is incredibly corrupt. Men get assigned to the most dangerous frontline units, the "Storm" units, unless they pay a superior $2,000 to be assigned to a different unit. Furthermore, there is often no real training for recruits -- commanders pocket the money that would have gone towards fuel and ammo costs incurred during training. Much "training" consists just of taking a single picture of soldiers doing something soldier-y, like fording a river, and publishing that as proof that the training was done. Even when it is done, training is only two weeks long.
