I volunteer Dickless. After all, its not like he can make any use of
them.

He's too old.


You sure? He's so immature.


Age is no guarantee of maturity. He's certainly past puberty even if he is
still childish.


Infantile would be my description of choice for Dickless.

The operation needs to be done before puberty, but there is no
guarantee that it will be successful - I think it's only about 1 or 2%

of the
boys who had it done went on to be great singers.


Dickless hasn't got any balls anyway. Butt there's only one way to
check. I gather you'd volunteer in a flash.


LOL! I'm sure she would, but would he let her get close enough?


Why? Its not like he's got anything to lose! A0L!

Anyway, sound ideals have changed over the centuries, and it's unlikely

that the
castrato voice would be as popular today. Period performance is all

very well,
but audiences don't have period ears :-)


Women seems to like castrati for some reason. Not sure why.


They were like the rock stars of their day.


You mean like KISS?
