Description
This beautiful huevador was made probably in spain or possibly morocco. It is crafted of fine milk glass and has a removable lid, exposing the interior of the huevador.

 

For those of you who are not familiar with huevadors, they are objects used primarily in Spain and Latin America for the purposes of keeping a gentleman's testicles cool in hot weather. Historically, wealthy men of means in these countries would go to huevadorias, cantina-like establishments where the gentlemen would sip sangria, brandy or aguardiente and converse whilst resting their scrota in the cool huevadors. The huevadorias typically had two bars, one above the other, the top bar being for drinks and the lower bar holding los huevadors. Periodically, women known as huevistas would gently replace the huevadors with a freshly chilled one.

I have seen many huevadors, but this is the first I have seen to be so exquisitely molded in the shape of a camel, and with a lid no less.

Buyer must pay with cash only, and payment must be made using 19th century notes or coins from Spain or Latin America. No dinars!!! Item will be shipped by camel following receipt of payment. Estimated shipping time anywhere on the Iberian peninsula 3-6 weeks, North Africa, 2 months, US or Latin America, approx 2 years (camels are held in quarantine for 18 months before entering country).

Any questions, please email me.

Thanks for bidding, and good luck!

ACHTUNG!

Este huevador es uno-talla-caber-todo.

El extremo delantero del camello est� para los muchachos, los ingleses, y otros j�venes con los huevos peque�os.

El extremo posterior del camello es suficiente para el hombre equipado mejor.

La tapa es absolutamente ingeniosa, pues puede ser utilizada as� como un sostenedor del huevos "handheld" o para los hombres que tienen un huevo el colgar m�s bajo que el otro.

Gracias por hacer una oferta.

Recuerde, ningunos dinars!!!

Env�o de la Compa��a de Env�o del Camello, S.A.

Camello -- la nave del desierto desde 1171 A.CC.

Transfirieron a un capit�n muy respetado en la legi�n no nativa a un puesto avanzado alejado del desierto. En su viaje de la orientaci�n �l not� un camello que miraba seedy muy viejo atado hacia fuera detr�s de los cuarteles de los hombres alistados. �l pregunt� a sargento que conduc�a el viaje, " porqu� es un camello atado a los cuarteles?" El sargento contest�, " sir bien, est� lejos de dondequiera, y los hombres tienen impulsos sexuales naturales, as� que cuando... uh... nosotros tienen el camello." El capit�n dijo, " bien, supongo si es bueno para la moral, entonces yo conjeturo que todo correcto con m�." Despu�s de que lo hubieran colocado en la fortaleza para seises largos, meses solos, el capit�n no podr�a controlar simplemente su angst sexual m�s de largo. �l rasp� a su sargento: " TRAIGA EL CAMELLO EN MI TIENDA!" El sargento encogi� sus hombros, miraba a los otros hombres, y conduce el camello en los cuartos del capit�n. Dentro de algunos minutos, el capit�n emergi� de su tienda, sujetando sus pantalones, casi emitiendo con orgullo. El So, sargento, es que c�mo los hombres alistados lo hacen?" �l pidi�. El sargento contest�, " bien, sir, apenas lo utilizan generalmente para montar en ciudad."

Please read the following most urgent message, preferably with a slight Spanish or Moroccan accent:

I have received several email inquiries from apparent madmen who question the authenticity of this huevador. They claim it is merely a nut dish. To such men I say "poppycock!" I don't know why I say this but I do. (This poppycock, it is similar to your cracker jack, yes?). The item will only be made available to those who refer to it as "el huevador del camello el mas supremo!".

Still others recognize el huevador for what it is, but they claim they would like to arrange for other means of transit. To these men I say, "fiddle-faddle!". It must be sent only by camel!

And yet more madmen make insulting offers of payment in dinars. To these men I say nothing at all. They are beneath contempt. I spit on them! I understand that there is a heat wave in your country and the huevadors are in short supply and great demand. Such matters are of no concern to me.

Viva los huevadors! Viva los camellos! Viva el Haagen Daazs dulce de leche flavor!

Thank you for bidding. Please email me if you have any questions.

P.S. No dinars!!!

There once was a man from Morocco Named Paul but his friends called him Paco But a hot huevador
Made his huevos quite sore
And his scrotum dried up like a taco!

ELEPHANTIASIS SCROTI. Esta enfermedad terrible es afortunadamente extremadamente rara en esta parte del mundo, pero sigue siendo necesario describirlo para terminar nuestro tratado. Aparece en la forma de una hinchaz�n peculiar del escroto, causada por la infiltraci�n en los integuments de un l�quido albuminoso jelly-like, que acumula en algunos casos a un fragmento m�s enorme. La superficie externa de la piel aparece �spera y agrietada, o cubierta con las escalas marrones grandes, de modo que tenga algo el aspecto del pie de un elefante. A veces, pero no muy requently, se forman un n�mero de �lceras, y los lugares agrietados descargan una secreci�n sanious ofensiva. Esta enfermedad se confina principalmente a Barbados, aunque encontr� en otra de las islas del oeste de la India, y tambi�n en Egipto, �frica, Grecia, e Indias del este. La talla del escroto a veces casi est� m�s all� de creencia, pero en algunos de los casos muy peores, los pacientes gozan de salud excelente, sin ningunos disturbios de las funciones de otras partes del sistema, que muestra que la enfermedad es puramente local. Sr. Listen quit� uno de estos tumores que cargaron cuarenta libras, que hab�an sido diecinueve a�os de crecimiento! M. Delpech quit� uno que pes� sesenta libras; y bar�n Larrey vio uno en Egipto que pes� conclu�do cientos libras. Los casos incluso se han sabido de su pesar conclu�do doscientas libras, y los pacientes incluso han podido a veces sentarse sobre ellas como un asiento. Cuelgan muy a menudo abajo a los tobillos, y son cuatro o cinco pies en circunferencia. No hay curaci�n para este afecto, en cuanto con todo sabido, y el �nico remedio es quitarlo con el cuchillo, que se ha hecho con frecuencia con �xito perfecto. El Dr. Picton de New Orleans, quitado uno de estos tumores del escroto de un negro, en 1837, que pes� libras del fifty-three, y hab�a estado creciendo por diez a�os. Los mucho m�s grandes, sin embargo, se han quitado, e igualan a veces sin destruir, o de cualquier manera que da�aba los �rganos genitales, de modo que el paciente haya sido tambi�n y perfeccione luego como �l estaba siempre antes. Es, sin embargo, extremadamente dif�cil de preservar los �rganos genitales, y los tienen que ser quitados generalmente junto con la masa enferma. El gran peligro es de la p�rdida de sangre, y de estos muchos de �sos funcionados sobre han muerto. Un chino nombrado Hoo Loo vino encima a Londres que se funcionar� sobre para esta enfermedad, y Sr. Key quit� el tumor, que pes� libras del fifty-six, pero el hombre pobre muri� la p�rdida del fro de sangre.

Tal tragedia! Uno puede prevenir f�cilmente tal hinchaz�n con el uso regular de un huevador!

Ich sollte vermutlich erkl�ren. Dieses fing als Inwitz zwischen mir und einem Freund an, der alte Glaswaren sammelt. (nicht Kamele, obwohl.) Ich erstellte eine Auktion auf eBay mit einigen Abbildungen, die ich von anderen fand, abgelaufene Auktion. Sie wurde entworfen, um ihm ein Glucksen zu geben, und ich dachte nicht, da� jedermann sonst es �berhaupt sehen w�rde. Gut lachte er und tat so auch eine Menge die Leute. Ich wurde durchaus �berrascht, als ich anfing, " Fanpost " von den Leuten zu erhalten, die die Auktion hilarious fanden, und sie hat sogar Angebote empfangen, obgleich die Verschiffen- und Zahlungsbezeichnungen ziemlich l�stig sind. Weil es solches Interesse (�ber 900 Leuten, es angesehen haben u. mehr als einige mich email geschickt haben), das ich mich entschied die Auktion, mit dem absurdesten zu aktualisieren zu halten, Material Python-esque gibt ich mit oben kommen k�nnte. Hoffnung haben Sie ein Glucksen erhalten! Beste W�nsche, Johann

El mensaje antedicho es invisible a menos que conclu�do el �rea con el rat�n usted arrastre. Tan. He hecho que los traductores de mi corte preparen una versi�n inglesa de la explicaci�n antedicha que debe servir para educar, para aclarar, y para encantar uno y todo.

It would probably have that to explain. This glasswork begun old like the joke between me and a friend, does not come to the contact from (of the camels, exactly if.) I have a requirement of the production eBay, that executed it with a certain laughter, of others finding.

One suggested, because the good hundreds diverse laughter and I did not think about that one whole entire mountain range or he of that whole number. An amount very similar laughed therefore of the high class and the fez that populated.

I was everything, if I had begun "station from fan" amazingly died the people also, who found the laughing requirement, and they received even a procurement department, although the dispatch and payment designations rather boring are.

Since then that such interest (they have taste of 900 people more and plus that what considered to the email so that exceeding it transmits) those requisite is determined with every day that the absurd loads modernized the material of the elasticity of Pythonesque comes with aforesaid could. They make to receive the hope of the laughter go!

The demand more best,
Juan

P.S. For your convenience, we do not accept payment in dinars.

Please can someone tell to me why there has been over one thousands and four hundreds of people to be viewing this auction on this Placido Domingo afternoon? Surely the demand for huevadors is not so great? Has someone published a news story on el huevador del Exigente? Please email to me and be telling how you are finding this auction and you will be registered to win a prize very special: an item of my choosing from the Amazon wish list of my dear friend George Bush II.

Also you may win a date with genetically engineered fish. Creo que el pescado gen�tico dirigidos puede convertir dinars en Euros. Euros se puede entonces llevar el departamento raro de la moneda en 69 Annafreudstrasse en Wien para la compra de pesetos a partir del diecinueveavo siglo.

I have radio jingle already, song my governess used to sing to my brothers and I (sung to tune of Italian opera, I know not the name):

Don't rest your scrotum on the tile floor-o

Muchos Garcias,
Abdul el Bulbil Emir Sanchez, Esq.

Some madman named Matt from radio station KTYD (what does this mean) in San Tababra just talk to me on radio. He is madman. He doubts the authenticity and legitimacy of El Exigente. What is this Matt? Matt is what I wipes my feets on! I was on roadway in Mercedes so I can not hear too good his words. My driver taking me to new restaurant near Bimpa Salaam names "Little Caesar". They have big pita with queso, black olives and goat meat. A funny little man wearing sheet on their sign saying "Pita Pita". Is very good. Restaurant is hot from ovens though. Perhaps I use huevador while eating.
