UPDATE ON THE OKLAHOMA MAN WHO ALLEGEDLY DARN NEAR TORE OFF THE SCROTUM OF A MAN WEARING A UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS SHIRT IN -- NEEDLESS TO SAY -- A BAR
According to this story, the alleged assailant is a federal auditor AND a church deacon.
(Thanks to DavCat)
I think this one also falls in the 'no harm, no foul' category. They are Sooners and Longhorns. Now, if they were Fightin Irish it might be different.

"I saw a tear and an exposed testicle," Thomas said. "I panicked."
And who wouldn't?!

Ugh - warning -guys, don't read the whole article unless you want to cringe. *shudder*
Apparently jug had no issues with it, though.

The congregants must be so proud of this pillar of the church.

As they say in Special Forces, "Once you get 'em by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow." Of course, if you rip 'em off you've probably lost a friend.

Ex no. 3 tried ellie, but the judge gave me custody of them.

and this is the city that wants an NBA team?

"I saw a tear and an exposed testicle," Thomas said. "I panicked."
I would categorize any response, including killing the other guy, as a REASONABLE response, not panic.

I couldn't agree more Braniff. It's a shame what the NBA is doing to the city of Seattle by ripping their team out over a new arena when the current one isn't even 15 years old yet. David Stern sucks!

Doc Rick & Braniff - what's more about the Sonics is that I give them 5 years in OKC. Clay Bennett, down $100mil, will sell them STL, Pittsburgh or San Diego. Plus the Sonics leaving means Paul Allen will move the Trailblazers to Seattle. And Stern wonders why the NBA fan base is falling.

I turned around and he grabbed a hold of my testicles.
He is not the first clergyman to cause this statement to be uttered. We Catlicks have been saying it for years.

I have nothing against OKC, but haven't many of the teams in smaller cities generally had a rough go of it? Once the novelty wears off and people realize what they're spending to go to one game, attendance starts dropping because the fan base isn't big enough. Maybe OKC will be different?

Guess he was bringing his work into the bar.

This joke is as old as Texas:
Know why Texas doesn't slide off into the Gulf?
Cuz Oklahoma Sucks!
