Don't Mess With Blue Or You Might Get Kicked in the Balls, Old School Style

Old_School_Blue_Mud_Wrestling.jpg

There is nothing worse than getting kicked in the ball. Or so I've been told. Having two, count 'em, TWO BALLS myself, I could not relate.

However, one person who could relate is Joseph "Blue" Palasky, the 100-year old freshman fraternity pledge from Old School, played by the actor, Patrick Cranshaw, who in real life was notorious for kicking people in the balls. Both men and women. In fact, according to legend, this is the true origin of the term "blue balls."

Blue was a bitter man. A great man, but a bitter man, Blue was. Oh sweet Blue.

Sadly, Blue died before he could live out his ultimate dream: wrestling and feel-copping and possibly ball-kicking with several young, nubile female wrestlers in a pit of KY Jelly, the adult personal lubricant that has helped more couples get some than Jagr bombs and Baywatch reruns. And single dudes, too, really, although mostly it has helped them with themselves.

The physical body of Blue died, yes, but let's face it, the man kicked so much ass and kicked so many balls, that you know he died a happy man. And his spirit lives on, wherever old dudes are getting drunk with younger dudes, or groping girls younger even than their granddaughters, or, most of all, and Blue would be proud, wherever someone is getting kicked in the ball or balls.

So on behalf of everyone here at this comedy blog, allegedly, including the missing Intern Bob when we find him, my so-called agent, and all the Doe-Nuts, I would like to quote the words of Will Ferrell, who played Frank, the naked streaking dude with the SMALL WIENER, or maybe it was just cold outside, hey, it happens, to other guys, who in Old School left his wife and became a college fraternity brother.

YOU'RE MY BOY, BLUE. YOU'RE MY BOY.

I find it odd that the old geezer has a nut duster ("prominent facial hair used for oral pleasure"), yet he kicks people in the nads. I think what you're dealing with is a repressed member of the Village People. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

This totally made me laugh. The only reason it did was because that was the only funny scene in Old Skool. And for years now (?!) its a great inside joke to tell something how much of "my boy" they are and sprinkle "blue" in there a lot to add that extra punch.

You're like a comedian or something close to it. Keep it up.

This guy I knew who went to a different high school would probably disagree with the "nothing as painful" comment. He was playing soccer and got kicked in the groin in such a way that one of his balls twisted around and he collapsed in an agony that would not cease until he went into surgery. Now he's only got one ball. Ouch.

Ben,

Man, sorry about your friend. That sounds like the ultimate pain. Even worse than watching The View 12 hours straight every day, or ever.

Yo Brad,

The irony of Blue's fondness for ball kicking is rich on many levels. Thanks for pointing out his goatee and the, uh, additional irony.

Kristen,

Thanks, just doing my best to make Blue proud. He sure could kick some ass back in the day, in addition to the balls.
