...normally calm theater to cramped standing room, inspiring the band to attempt their P-Funk-parodic magnum opus. "Okay, this hasn't worked for the last six nights," Gene told the crowd, "But if we all concentrate really hard I bet we can get the Poop Ship to descend on Butt-F**k, Mass., or wherever we are." The next 15 minutes could only be described as a paean to the mothership of all things flatulent. It began as a trudging grind-core chant to the ship itself, progressed through a rendition of every fake farting noise that...
...camerawork and set design are an unpredictable mix of slick sophistication and base grittiness.

In plain English, that means undescended testicles. In a male fetus, the testicles normally develop inside the abdomen and descend into the scrotal sac before birth. In some cases, though, one (and sometimes both) of the testicles stays inside the body. The laggard normally drops into place in the child's first year of life, though surgery is sometimes needed to help it along...
