Testicle-eating fish discovered in Illinois lake

An invasive fish, known in some parts of the world as "The [CENSORED] Cutter" due to its alleged appetite for human testicles, has been found in Illinois' Lake Lou Yaeger, reports the Huffington Post.

 
Residents who frequent the lake have been on guard ever since a local fishermen caught one specimen in June. Originally believed to be a piranha, officials with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources later identified the fish as a pacu-- an Amazonian species related to the piranha. Unlike the piranha, though, which is known for its flesh-cutting serrated incisors, the pacu has blunt chompers that more closely resemble human teeth. They are also much larger than piranha, growing as large as 55 pounds.
 
The good news is the pacu's diet is normally vegetarian: nuts, leaves and aquatic vegetation. But in some parts of the world the fish is known to feast on nuts of a different sort. In Papua New Guinea, where the species was introduced in the 1990's to bolster local fisheries, the fish has been blamed for a series of horrifying attacks that left some men castrated.

So now “ball” is in the same censored list as the “N” word? So now we have a “B” word. Foot B, basket B, enjoy yourselves and have a “B”.

A fish named Moochie has already gotten to Barry boy.

Just sayin’...

Last night, watching barry, the term PIPSQUEAK kept coming to mind. That and my witness as a youth to one like him my Dad encountered. I’ll never forget the creep coming out of a chair and Dad meeting him, shaking a finger in his face and saying, “When I’m finished talking I’ll let you know. Until then sit down and shut up.” It was non-negotiable.
