How To For Men: Have The Best Day Ever



Having the Best Day Ever:
A How To Guide

There is a lot of wisdom my father has passed down to me throughout the years.  One bit, in particular, is this method I have for having the "best day ever".  Dad, if you are reading, thank you.  Thanks also to follower "Micael" who inspired this post with a couple of related tweets a couple days ago.  

The Problem:

In a word: Yoda Balls.  You men know what I am talking about.  Yoda balls is the condition of having an excess of heat and moisture in your "private" area, which leads to torturous maladies such as: Yoda Stink, Yoda Itch, and the ever troublesome Yoda Sticks to the Side of my Legs While I'm Walking Around.

You know what I mean, right guys?

Yoda Balls are named as such because they are hot and gunked up with swamp crap.  They are steamy and dirty, and they smell like Dagobah.  

They are unpleasant for a guy.  It weighs a man down, psychologically, to know that he has no control over the odor, position, or general comfort of his "Yoda Balls", because they are so sticky they might be climbing their way around his leg to his buttocks, or tryin' to stretch their way down to the floor, at any given time.  It's disgusting and it makes for a terrible day.  

Guys: it doesn't have to be this way.  Here's the solution:

Step One: Hot Soapy Morning Shower

Step one is arguably the most important.  What you are going to want to do is to get the area in question as clean as possible in water that is as hot as possible.  Not so hot that you end up in the ER.  Just hot enough to really get those pores exfoliating a little bit.  As far as soap goes, I recommend the following:

Yes, Olay Bar Soap is LITERALLY what I use.  
It will leave you feeling dry and clean and smooth.  Everywhere.

Step Two: Blow Dry Your Testicles

Yes.  You read right.  You must use one of these...


...to do this...

Be sure to get those bad boys real dry, but don't hold them too close to the dryer or you can certainly end up scalding yourself.

Step Three: Baby Powder

Once you have your Yoda Area totally totally dry, like the sand dunes of Tatooine, where Luke encountered two lost droids and learned of the plight of a young Princess and.... shoot, sorry, I get off track easily.  

Once you have your area totally dry, you need to get a container of the following:


Any old baby powder will do, although I enjoy the kind infused with aloe, as you can see above.  A good rule of thumb on products that you are going to be putting on male genitalia: "if it can go on little babies' butts, it can go on your nuts."

Put a liberal amount of the powder into one of your hands as shown.

You may need more, but start out with this amount.

Now take your powder and gently dab it all over the Yoda area.  On the front.  The back.  The bottom.  The sides.  I even like to get a little on the very top of the inner thigh to maximize dryness and minimize sack chafing.  

It may take quite a bit, but that powder is now your greatest defense against sweat and moisture buildup.  Sweat and moisture mean dirt and chafing.  Itching and scratching.  Then we're back on Dagobah with Yoda right where we started and that's the last thing we want.  So use enough, 'gents.

WARNING: Do not do this step after putting on pants, or any other clothes.  Your clothes will look like you just lost a fight with a bunch of bread-bakers.  The flourery look is not "in".

Step Four: Enjoy The Best Day Ever

So that's it.  If you have completed this easy process, you will be on your way to having a really great day.  I mean really great.  You will be more confident.  You will smell better.  You will be able to run, unhindered.  You will appear less fidgety, and you will have to stuff your hands down the front of your pants a lot less.

You have successfully transformed your Yoda Balls into Wampa Balls.

A friendly Wampa on Hoth

Wampa Balls, like the Wampa's home planet, Hoth, are cool, dry, and confident.  Of course, there's the added benefit that Yoda Balls are tiny, wrinkly, and nearly hairless, while Wampa Balls are epically huge and furry.

Conclusion: Wampa Balls = Good

Trust me, guys.  You want to have Wampa Balls.  And the ladies want it too.  What are you waiting for?  Go hop in the shower!  And please, to all of you, even the ladies, let me know what you think about my simple process here.  

Love

Reading this post in a fancy hotel lobby with elderly people around me is OH SO INAPPROPRIATE.

And oh, how I love it. You made me laugh super hard with that picture of you. Your laughing in an evil manner and it cracked me up. YUCK YODA BALLS. That is oh so disgusting.

721 followers Charles? Ay mijo. I am thinking one word. Can you guess what it is?? It starts with an F.

Waldoni said...

I'll be danged. You really did learn something from the old man.

mice_aliling said...

I should have read the how to FOR MEN. Haha. I think I've heard the baby powder actually helps. Maybe, you should also check if this works, http://freshmanmasculinewash.com/2010/06/the-future-of-men%E2%80%99s-personal-hygiene/. I did the event launch for it in the Philippines. Ahh, the things I do as an events manager. hahaha.

Toni Tralala said...

First thing's first! That photo of you in a towel with that grin on your face is epic! Have you ever come across such shocking photos that it's forever ingrained in your brain? Whether it's Barney, a crime scene photo or better yet, you in a towel. :)) I'm not complaining. This is fu-huuu-nny!

You just gave me a brilliant idea on what to get for my fiancé's impending birthday! :)) I'm not saying that he has Yoda balls! He has Wampa balls but still, seeing him apply your personal instructional ball hygiene guide would bring me tears of joy for years to come.

This definitely made my day! :)

Mynx said...

Laughing too hard to leave intelligent comment.
Must say didnt really know this condition existed. Or perhaps it is an American summer thing. Perhaps need to survey some Aussie guys to see if similar exists here. Love love love the pic. You made my day too :)

slushygirl said...

Yoda balls cannot possibly be a good thing. Sounds painful. And smelly. I am all for this powdery RX.

Jera said...

Awesome.

I think that's probably my favorite picture I've ever taken of you, babe. Definitely frame-worthy. I'm thinking we put it up on the wall right in front of the toilet.

It makes me so happy that you referenced Star Wars with your balls. Anything related to Star Wars is exceptional.

And I'm also glad you have the Wampa balls (most of the time, at least).

Love you! :-)

George Wells said...

My farmer friends back home tell me they use a product called "Monkey Butt Powder" versus baby powder. You can check it out on Amazon(or your local farm supply store I'm sure).

She-She said...

If ever the time comes when you and Jera make the decision to reproduce you may want to go to the cool setting on the dryer.

wet nuts + hot hair dryer = low sperm counts

I'm only saying...

Cortney Lyon said...

I will share this with my husband. Thank you!

PS- we all know you really don't wrap yourself in a towel to dry your nuts off, that was only for the photo shoot...admit it,you do that 'one leg up on the counter' with your junk freely flopping in the breeze of the dryer method when the camera isn't around! It's okay, if I had balls that's how I would do it too.

lunamother said...

Monkey Butt Powder- right at the checkout of your nearest Tractor Supply Company. It's in between the Lady Monkey Butt Powder and the Chicken Poop lip balm.

I heart TSC.

merlin said...

i'm dealing with a pretty vicious case of balrog balls, myself... got any advice?

Barbara said...

I'll pass this on to my son, Charles.

NOTE TO THE LADIES: If you want to try the female version of this hygiene tip from Charles (perhaps on your inner thigh area) be careful not to use powder that contains talc. Its not good for talc to come in contact with "Princess Leia". Cervical cancer has been linked to talc powder. Use something with cornstarch :)

Candice said...

You know what? I think "Yoda Balls" is an actual medical term in a textbook somewhere. There should be a "Yoda Balls Awareness Day." You could teach a class on how to successfully achieve "Wampa Balls." It'll be kind of like shark week...

Laughed my head off. The husband looked at me like I had lost my mind. Thanks again. :)

J9 said...

To tag on what Barbara is saying - all you wampa balls guys who want to get near to Princess Leia, may want to use talc free powder, or corn starch all by itself. Also worth considering is that new product - fresh balls.

MrIndieDay said...

I secretly aspire to your site, and have quietly made you my rival.

Keda said...

I never knew there was such a regime with regards to people's Princess Leia's and Yoda's turning to Wampa's.

That has certainly made my day!

The Ranters Box said...

I'm laughing still! Who knew you were also a beauty advisor for men? The photo of you blow drying your nut sack is beyond priceless Charles. Even so, the wampa balls RX does seem like sound logic. xo

Alexa O said...

Ok, this is brilliant.

I really hope that you are signed up for that ad thing that pays you for talking about certain products, because the hairdrying industry and the baby powder industry both owe you a huge thanks.

You can't BUY PR like this...

PS I'm intrigued by your readers who don't know about Schwetty Balls (as I like to call them). I'm a girl, and even I know about this phenomenon. Could it possibly be an American thing? Isn't Australia hot?

SURELY Crocodile Dundee has experienced Swamp Balls?

Corianda said...

You and your balls eh? You just can't leave them alone.... I'm glad you're hygienically sound though I'm imagining that Yoda Balls got nothing on Chemically burning them. You would know.

Akasha said...

that was ten definitions of disturbing and twenty more of hilarious :D

Sucker said...

Hmmm.... Makes sense. I wouldn't want Yoda balls either.

iinnermitten said...

Very nice! Just came back from my holiday in Croatia where some random Slovenian told me the same about the baby powder.

I'll try that some time.

Nicki said...

You mean I don't have to blow on them myself to dry them off and then have him lay on the bed, assuming the "threw em up in the air" stance and spray powder on FOR HIM anymore?

Ohhhh, he's not going to like this post!

But *I* thank you! You just bought me 15 more minutes in the morning. :D

geets said...

lmao

Erica said...

I shall most definitely suggest this method to the man-friend. I think he will be most appreciative.

And baby powder rocks my face. Ladies can chafe too, in the inner thigh area. It is not fun. It hurts like hell, and you find yourself wanting to walk bowlegged.

Chanel said...

Is this a normal problem for men? I've never seen my boyfriend scratch his balls ever, and we've been together for two and a half years. Is he just a discreet scratcher?

Maybe he already does this routine. But that would mean when I hear my hair dryer going in the mornings he's using it on his balls and not his hair...I don't think I like that very much.

And FYI, your demonstrative picture with the hair dryer gave my co-workers quite a laugh. I will have to ask them if they plan on following your routine since they all read your blog over my shoulder.

A Paperback Writer said...

Hmmm.... As a junior high school teacher, I must say that I think I should forward a link to this post to our health and gym teachers and the poor counselors who have to deal with puberty-ridden boys who have not yet learned that a once-a-week bath just isn't going to cut it at this stage.

And it makes me feel good to know that there is some poetic justice and men have to suffer through the equivalent of dealing with poorly-fitting feminine products. Perhaps life is a teeny bit fairer than I'd previously thought.
:)

Danger Boy said...

Brilliant post! My Wampa Balls thank you.

Rin said...

I haven't laughed this hard since... quite some time :D. I didn't expect that picture that everybody's talking about. I love what Mynx said, 'laughing too hard to leave intelligent comment'. I can't stop...!

Rin said...

OK I have stopped now and able to do a bit of thinking...just a bit. Maybe if you wear briefs it will not, you know, stick to the side...? Just a thought.

Charles said...

Annah: FAMOSITY!! WOOT WOOT

Waldoni: The old man also taught me about peeing in the yard. That's another fantastic trick.

mice: that product is awesome, and the add is awesome!

Toni: Even a man with fresh balls can still benefit from my process.

Mynx: Aussie men don't have sweat glands in their nuts. proven fact.

Slushy: It is painful and can lead to "crotch rot" if it's not taken care of.

Jera: I'll show you some Yoda balls this afternoon so you know the difference.

George: I have seen Monkey Butt at my mom's house... I never asked her about it. I was afraid she was going to tell me that she was raising monkeys in the basement or something.

She-She: Duly noted. Cool setting it is.

Courtney: You are correct. Normally, everything is swinging around. No towel.

Luna: I don't know if we have a tractor supply company... is that the same as "Whole Foods"?

Merlin: Burn a bundle of sage underneath your sack and chant to gaia. The mother earth will care for your nuts.

Barbara: Thanks for that tip. I will keep that in mind. I didn't know that.

Candice: Yoda Balls Awareness day was supposed to be on president's day... congress shot me down. I think it's 'cause i told them "i can smell all of your Yoda Balls from here in Colorado!"

J9: Regular cornstarch? Really?

Mr. Indie: Game on!

Keda: It's a very important but often overlooked topic.

Ranter: I was gonna do a full on naked pic, but I figured I would lose all of my followers.

Alexa: This is all a huge product placement deal. The Blow Dryer and Baby Powder manufacturing concern paid out 3000 for this post. Oil of Olay paid 500. And I think Crocodile Dundee talked so funny BECAUSE of his yoda balls.

Corianda: I have treated my balls a lot better since chemically burning them.

akasha: THANKS!

Sucker: No one wants Yoda balls. It's like rickets. Un-wantable.

mitten: You won't be dissapointed.

Nicki: Your man is blessed. Tell him that for me.

geets: lMao

Erica: It rocks your face? LOL. I'm gonna say that today.

Chanel: Give your co-workers the link to my page and tell them they have to read it or you will poison the community coffee supply. Also: some men have greater tolerance and scratch less. I have zero tolerance. If there is even a whisper of an itch, I'm scratching for like five minutes.

Paper Back: Life won't ever be fair. But having wampa balls makes the unfairness of it all tolerable.

Danger Boy: Tell your nuts "you're welcome" for me.

Rin: I am really glad you liked it! thanks

Charles said...

oh, and rin: I will NEVER wear underwear again. That would be like opting INTO slavery, having already been freed.

HoldenLyric said...

You are one brave soul.

Pavla Romelia said...

easy way to sell people on your process
Yoda Ball = no blow job
Wampa Ball= More likley hood of a blow job.

Waldoni said...

So, what is it called when your nutsack gets all in a bind? WookieNuts?

merlin said...

dear charles,
i tried your advice but now have charcoal balls... what gives? i thought you were an expert on ball care. i'm discussing suing you and your blog with my lawyer.

Simple Dude said...

You can never take the risk of, or prevention of Yoda Balls too seriously. At first i thought "blow dry the nuts... is he nuts?" but then i thought of course... if you don't start out dry the rest of the exercise is entirely pointless.

But one recommendation... Gold Bond powder instead of baby powder. It makes you feel like a spring virgin all over again. It's like your junk has been smoking menthols. Absolutely wonderful.

Charles said...

Holden: I try to be brave in the face of such adversity. Sticky nuts are a terrible woe.

Pavla: You are exactly write and I couldn't have said it better myself!

Waldoni: Haha. Yes. or "Chewie Nuts" as they are known in some circles.

Merlin: Were you using sage that was blessed by a real live vegan wearing birkenstocks? The sage has to be BLESSED in a WHOLE FOODs MARKET by a vegan wearing birks or of COURSE you are going to suffer from charcoal nuts. I mentioned this to you as a footnote, but unfortunately that footnote came via ESP. Didn't you get it?

Simple Dude: HAHAHA. My junk does actually smoke Newports. Which is a pain in the ass. It would be easier if we could just share Parliaments.

Micael Chadwick ("Rabbit") said...

What a lovely guide. If I tried this I would end up looking like I'd fallen off the wagon and went camel humping wild with Whitney Houston.
I'd also be afeared to get anything hot and electrical near my Yodas - much less tryin' to dust 'em like a powdered donut.

I'll just be a nasty redneck and sweat. No one comes to visit The Yodas anymore anyway.

DarrenK said...

lol, that's awesome! Guess I'm gonna have a great day tomorrow!! :0)

Vencora said...

just found this place while reading comments on Rabbit's blog. pretty hilarious stuff you've got here. ^_^

Waldoni said...

I think I'll call you Luke Srcodwalker henceforth!

Odie Langley said...

I have encountered that problem many times. Thanks for the advise. I will definately use your suggestions.
Odie

Miss Meg said...

I've been trying to convince my boyfriend to invest in a dryer for months to save me the trouble of lugging mine along every time I stay over. This may have won me the battle. For that, I thank you.

Waldoni said...

What do you call someone who who is always trying to hit yer junk?
Jabba U Nut!!!!

Liz and Sean said...

I have passed this on to the appropriate people. Thank you.
