I found these at the airport:
Actually they’re delicious. Best balls I’ve ever tasted. They make a great gift.

Have you been to Grand Cayman? The airport there sells “Big Black Dick Rum Balls”. They are very tasty and I highly recommend them.
Aunt Happy looks to be related to Elvis or the Cash family.

Aunt Happy doesn’t look too happy in that photo. Not getting enough happy balls perhaps? Maybe she needs chocolate salty balls instead….

Wow…so many jokes. So many possibilities. I don’t even know where to begin.
Kevin- is this what it’s like when you watch a Michael Bay film?

Indeed. It’s like Christmas morning. Wade in slowly, my friend.

If there aren’t at least 30 responses to this blog entry I will certainly be surprised.
OK, I must tackle at least one of the THOUSANDS of obvious jokes here.
If Aunt’s Happy, then is Uncle Satisfied?

Oh, all right it sucked. It sucked Happy you-know-whats.

Kevin,
That reminds me of when the ice cream truck would come through our neighborhood and the toothless driver, Mr. McBadtouch, would ask if we wanted popsicles, fudgicles or testicles.

I notice that link reads “GEThappyballs.com,” so apparently happyballs.com was already taken.
I’d do further research into this matter, but I’m at work and I’m afraid it would be inappropriate.

I have done the research for you Jen, and it appears to be totally safe for work. Happyballs.com sells antenna balls, those little decorations in the form of a football or soccer ball or happy face that you put on top of your car antenna. They also sell accessories for your rear view mirror and tops of your pencils! It truly is a happy ball superstore!

This reminds me of a joke I heard about an Italian’s father and Joe DiMagio….
Walk-a proud Joe…walk-a proud.

“Guaranteed genuine”? Are there a lot of Happy Balls knockoffs floating around Louisville?
“Hoppy balls”?
“Hopeful balls”?
“Hairy…” ok, I’m done.

I don’t know what to say. I’m not sure if I should be proud or ashamed. I have family in them parts of Kentucky! I bet they love those balls too.
Kevin: Did you land at the Cincy airport in Covington, KY or directly in Louisville. I was just at that airport and I did not see any balls rolling around in anyone’s mouths.

Right there at Louisville International. I like the fact that they display a mountain of souvenir Slugger bats that people attempt to get through security in their carry-on luggage.

But I just want to try their aromatic flavor…the delicious pungency of chocolaty musk!

Warning: Pregnant women, the elderly, and children under 10 should avoid prolonged exposure to Happy Fun Ball.
Happy Fun Ball contains a liquid core, which, if exposed due to rupture, should not be touched, inhaled, or looked at.
If Happy Fun Ball begins to smoke, get away immediately. Seek shelter and cover head.
Ingredients of Happy Fun Ball include an unknown glowing green substance which fell to Earth, presumably from outer space.
Happy Fun Ball has been shipped to our troops in Saudi Arabia and is being dropped by our warplanes on Iraq.

I went to their web site, and with such links as “Get Balls”, “Ball Press”, “Balls of Fame”, and “Ball Talk”, the next-to-the-last link should not be “Why?”, but, rather, “WHY FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY?!?!”

Those are the most disturbingly smooth pecan halves I have ever seen in my life.
I don’t trust smooth pecan meats. There, I said it.

so you don’t like you ball nuts smooth…fair enough. I will only partake of those balls if they are sweet.

And sure enough, per Tim D’s prophecy, there were exactly 30 responses when I read this entry! That boy is TOUCHED…
This is my favorite quote from Aunt Happy’s “Balls of Fame” page:
“What’s rice flour doing in one of our competitor’s balls?”
I only hope that particular company spy got a hefty Christmas bonus for service above…er, below and beyond.
(And why only one? ::shudder::)

I had a friend who worked at that place and gave me a package of bourbon balls for my birthday one year. They were crapped out of God’s own butt, IMO. So delicious.

Well, I want those tasty balls, and I want them hand-delivered.

Well, I’m ashamed. I live in Lexington, 45 minutes away from Louisville, and I was away from this blog just long enough to miss the announcement that Kevin was here. And to think in the meanwhile I was agonizing over not being able to make it to Comic Con and meet everybody, and one of you guys was actually coming to me for a change. I totally blew it.
If you come back, I’ll bring homemade bourbon balls to the event next time. My boyfriend’s grandmother has a recipe for the best bourbon balls ever.
