Euphemisms abound for the, uh, delicacy that will be the focus of a festival Saturday in Mount Sterling, Ill., about 90 miles north of St. Louis.

Kevin Huston, who owns the Sportsman's Club bar, which is hosting the festival, has heard 'em all: cowboy caviar, swinging beef, mountain oysters, lamb fries. But folks in Mount Sterling (population 2,077) don't mince words, so the festival is known simply as the Sportsman's Club Testicle Festival.

"They're not really like chicken or a beef steak," Huston says. "They're in a class of their own."

Balls said the Queen...if I had them I'd be King.

I think that's usually phrased as:

"Balls said the Queen...I'd be King if I had t(w)o."

Would be fun to go to a blue state liquor store and ask, "which wine goes better with testicles?"

so the festival is known simply as the Sportsman's Club Testicle Festival.

Or, for short, the Festicle.

Eh, this is wierd, real wierd

And I don't think it is appropriate for them to be celebrating "testicles" in a small town which probably has a lot of children

Weird, sure - but testicles are a part of life.

Or they used to be.
