A pleasure delayed
is often sweeter.
See, I had this balzac zit. It sat there, festering in the recesses of my drawers, awaiting the moment of primeness, and the gentle squeeze that would send pus and blood shooting all over. I was giddy all day with anticipation. And then I came home, messed around a bit, and sat at the computer to read mail.
As I shifted in my chair I felt the little bastard break. A quick trip to the can confirmed my fears: My moment of zit-popping pleasure was stolen from me, the eagerly anticipated goo now smeared in my drawers and down my leg. Sonofabitch.
I’m a clean person. I hate going for more than a day without a shower, and often take three a day. It’s rare that I’m in a situation where I get zits like this, and they are usually brought on by heat, inability to shower, clogged pores (usually Gold Bond) or a combination of the above. So the liklihood of another is slim, but damn. I hate to miss one like this.

How big was the sucker? I’ve never gottan zits on my balzac before. I can’t imagine the pain and discomfort you went through.
I hate getting zits myself, esp. the really painful ones, but when I do, I can’t wait for it to ripen so I can squeeze it out all over the mirror. It’s grossly satisfying, or would that be satisfyingly gross?
last train to hurlsville, ten minutes ago. thanks, sicko.
condolences? here’s wishing you many more? just what kind of comment is appropriate for your brand of mind trauma, huh?
I just write it. You read it.
I lost my last one two months ago in my sleep. In my sleep, dammit! It was as large as a bomber marble, right on the bottom of M. de Balzac, so tight the outer skin was peeling off, and I thought one day from Prime. Rotten luck, that.
Dontcha just hate it? And the blood- like waking next to the horse’s head.
You should have been a dermatologist. Just think of the fun. Lancing a boil today…oh boy, oh boy!
I’m not sure whether I want to mourn your loss or heave at the thought of your balzac. I mean, I’m sorry, dude, but I KNOW you. I’m not supposed to be thinking about your balzac!
The ones in the Taint-Meat generally grow a little bigger, which means a more Satisfying Conclusion.
Gott damn man. I think if you ever developed a carbuncle, you’d throw a keg party to celebrate…
