Welcome, Chris. Maybe we will make a permanent buffista out of you yet.
Lorne: You know what they say about people who need people. Connor: They're the luckiest people in the world. Lorne: You been sneaking peeks at my Streisand collection again, Kiddo? Connor: Just kinda popped out.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Isn't the separation painful?
Well, I'd think the separation of one ball from the other would be somewhat less painful than their initial detachment from the torso, but the lack of Y-chromosome regrettably prevents me from saying anything further with real authority.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Cutting balls off is wasteful. If you leave them attached, you can strike them to cause pain again and again.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Can't you do the same thing to the empty ball socket?

I don't think it's the same sort of pain. Of course, you could take steps to make sure it never heals, but I think you've removed the fun bits.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Silly me. I was thinking balls attached to body, in Tupperware.
So Chris, you don't mind if random strangers have you all fitted out in vacuum-sealed codpieces, do ya?

That spawned the notion that this could be what FOX had in mind all along, and there I went.
It seems that FOX are vindictive bastards, though. How else to explain their futzing with FUTURAMA, which was getting great ratings as a SIMPSONS follow-up, and which it's rumored that Matt Groening basically had to blackmail them into letting him make (and therefore FOX resented the show's very existence).

Heh. This whole thing is reminding me of the punctured testicle discussion that was triggered by that S4 Angel episode. Ahhh, good times, good times.

Pretty much full time.
Having known my intimate parts for many years, I'm not surprised that they're worthy of recognition here.
