                        "Responsibility 
                      and morals are both tucked underneath my bed at home." 
                      That statement pretty much sums up the mood 
                      of Testicle Festival, a five day bonanza of beer, music, 
                      naked bodies and fried bull testicles held every year in 
                      Rock Creek, Mont, a small wayside thirty minutes east of 
                      Missoula, Mont. 
                      The festival started in 1982 when Rock Creek 
                      Lodge owner Rod Lincoln decided to have a party. 
                      "I just wanted to celebrate the tradition of 
                      adulthood and fellow man," said Lincoln. "Let's just get 
                      together and have some good old fashionfun, imbibe and partake 
                      in the sacred testicle."  
                      The first festival drew three hundred people, 
                      and 18 years later over 15,000 came to take part in "Montana's 
                      mardi Gras." This year, people from every state, six provinces, 
                      and 10 countries showed up to Rock Creek to eat fried balls 
                      and party. (Click the right arrow to continue)
