My niplets are on fire (with passionate love)


Well passionate love if you consider football my third love behind the human portion of the Little Mermaid and the girl from that one Moto Razor commercial with the smile. Now those of you who know me (all six of you), know that I waste not an opportunity to make fun of the practice of men having to protect their nipples whilst running a marathon like applying butter or covering them with band aids or something. I believe women do not need to do the same due to the advances in sports bra technology (do not quote me on that. That is based purely on conjecture. I haven’t really spoken to a woman about that because I am shy.) It’s funny, that of all the things that could happen with running these distances the nipples are the ones that are guaranteed to break. I would like to take this moment to apologize to all the gentlerunners (especially my uncle at whom a lot of these jokes were aimed at behind his back) for all the silly jokes I made at their expense.

It hurts a lot, nipple burn. I was playing football in the rain the other day and my t shirt was soaked and a curious thing happened as I was taking a lovely hot shower later; the forward most points on my body, most notably my right breasticle seemed to build up an internal churning manifesting itself at this one dime sized point on my body at which point it burst through like a laser searing my delicate little niplet(s) causing me to hop about ooh-ing and aah-ing. In fact I was unaware that I had these things until the great conflagration. Of course as per standard practice, I applied copious amounts of Vaseline to soothe my soul and assuage this incredibly debilitating injury.

I was terribly inconvenienced in the days following this incident; think about it, I had to be shirtless the whole week so as to not aggravate them and couldn’t go out and this was hard because I am such an extrovert, I couldn’t sleep on my stomach (which is the best way) and had to be curled up like a dirty fetus, I couldn’t chest bump any of my homies which is one of my favorite things to do and most unfortunately I could not take part in the bi-weekly neighborhood wet t-shirt contest where I was the 3 time defending champion having just wrested the crown a week and a half ago from the local legend Chastity. Fine, jeez, we don’t have a stupid neighborhood wet t-shirt contest but it is not for a lack of trying on my part, trust me. Stupid Community Authority Board (fascists).
