Hey, remember when Emma was a coprophagliac?
I am totally going to start a metal cover band called Cryptorchid and do renditions of Accept's "Balls to the Wall" and AC/DC's "Big Balls," "Got You By the Balls," "She's Got Balls" and "Ballbreaker." And, of course, "Great Balls of Fire" by Jerry Lee Lewis.

I knew a girl who had this condition. It was weird.
