THIS BLOG IS RATED “S” for SCRAPPERS
With the impending nuptials of Darren, our favorite scrapper, The Editors and Staff of Mr. Blog’s Tepid Ride would like to wish the happy couple well, and, in the words of Luca Brasi from The Godfather, “I hope their first child be a masculine child.”
We do, however, have our worries. At the end of the most recent Scrappers, Darren complained that (women and children, perhaps now would be a good time to leave, as this is about to get classy) his balls hurt because they were hitting the bottom of the van’s seat. Noots told him to wear briefs because Darren’s boxers gave him no support. Darren complained that he had low hanging balls.
This is a serious problem.
Of course, balls have always been a source of contention and fun.
This song goes all the way back to Work War Two:
Göring has only got one ball
Hitler’s [are] so very small
Himmler’s so very similar
And Goebbels has no balls at all
We here at Mr. Blog hope things work out better for the soon-to-be Mr. and Mrs. Scrapper than it did for those guys.
Meanwhile, Darren simply cannot wait for his wedding night:

Was that clip of Darren Singing actually on the show…or was that an out-take?!…Please tell me that they’re not just desperately filling airtime because there are no more abandoned toilets for them to run around and take dumps in…

That was from the Official Scrappers on Spike TV website. They should be proud.
On the other hand, two weeks ago, an episode consisted cheifly of Darren bouncing up and down on the roof of a car, so yes, they are down to b-roll.

Look on the bright side. Maybe the van bouncing problem has caused motility problems, et al., and they won’t be any little Darrens running around!

I remember, as a youth, being presented the ‘Singularly Testicled Hitler’ story as fact. It was only years later that I discovered it was based on a comedy song.
That said – Beer Hall Putsch? With these guys its more like Beer Hall Putz.

The song has an interesting histroy, you should look it up. In an earlier version, it was Goring with the lone ball, and this is accurate- he lost a testicle.
“Beer Hall Putz”- isn’t that a Three Stooges Short? 😉
And BTW- the two Stooges shorts where Moe does Hitler are classics.

Wow, just did the read through, that really is quite a history.
Here’s a bit of an interesting follow-up:

Also, I’m finding it difficult to locate any follow up info on the missing bit of Göring’s junks – also possibly just a rumour?

http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Holocaust/goering.html says he wass “seriously wounded” during the Beer Hall putsh.
http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/2WWgoring.htm and other sources say that Goering took two granite splinters in the groin during the putsh.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitler_has_one_ball states that the serious wound was the loss of a testicle. I’ve read it in print, though I can’t recall a specific book.
That is an interesting link. At this late date, when Hitler is often portrayed as no more than a cartoon charcter, I wonder if there is any need to emasclate him anymore? (In fact, he pops up, in comic book form this month in Weird War Tales as an undead soldier who won’t play nice with others and has been excluded from their games.)
