Smart Women

I found this in a parking lot near the mall.

the Haiku:

get Nipple Covers,
at Victoria's secret,
cold nipples no more.


because it's no fun to have cold nipples.
(though they are more fun to look at...)

We used to call them "pasties" (long a, for the British contingent, not to be confused with picnic food)and they were self-adhesive.

Oooops, TMI revealed.

I hope to goodness that the illustration at the top of the Found is NOT an instructional aid for what to do with nipple covers!

Unless maybe it's a drawing of what happens during that fun old party game. You know ... "Stick the Cover on the Nipple". (Oh! you missed. Try again!! Tee-hee.)

@ "Parying my rent..." He who has no memory makes one out of paper. I couldn't live without post-it notes which I stick up at eye level where I will see them (which does NOT include the refrigerator door, but does include the telly, bookcase, and computer monitor.) I often remind myself of expected visitors (WELLINGTON THURS 10 AM) or that one thing I keep forgetting at the market (CHICK PEAS, STUPID!!) or other appointments. You don't need a list to need a reminder.

Would some handwriting analyst please explain the psychological (or is it, in this case, physiological?) significance of the drooping "s" at the ends of "covers" and "Victoria's"?

The mall is a big place, so it's good to specify which store to get them at. You wouldn't want to walk into Kaybee Toys and ask where the nipple covers are. (If they had them, though, I bet they would be in the horrifically pink Barbie aisle.)

Spencer Gifts might carry nipple covers, but if they do, they're probably made of some cheap material that will give you a nasty nipple rash.

Wow... I usually write things like this in code just in case my posit-it is found somewhere in my posession. I'm sure if I actually wrote it out like this it would jump out of my purse in a meeting.
My Boss: "So... nipple covers, eh?" It would be like the "I Love My Hooters" sticker all over again.

Camoflage for you nipplus erectus? why not just wear a fuckin bra?

Are we suppposed to mention it when peoples' nipple piercings show through their shirts? Is it intentional? Do they WANT us to notice those alarmingly mis-shapen nipps?

@Night: for a real thorough job, I like to wax mine. It allows the nipple covers to adhere better.

I like to call it "having a bad case of the chipples". Chilly + nipples = chipples... Which I also think would be a great name for a crunchy snack.

re. Haiku

Gloria, how about this:

nipple covers at
the Victoria's Secret--
a cricket in the grass

or this:

star nipple covers
at the house of all secrets
--the night sky beckons

or maybe:

nipples snug in bed--
smart women keep each other
under worn covers

or this:

Hidden nipple fun.
Those Librarians know how
to get down/dirty.

or maybe:

Victoria hides
her nipples. Why don't you put
yours somewhere else? Huh?

Please, no Freudian analysis of any of those. (Hipster translation: Don't try to understand my art, man! It's just art! Take off your gloves! It should just BE!)

As a side note, were I actually to keep other smart women posted, I might not start with the vital information about where to get nipple covers, but rather(and I needed this one earlier today)something like this:

"That's a glass wall, smart girl, not an open doorway! Do not walk into it face-first at full smart-girl speed!"

Ouch!

I have no more care that the world can tell that I have nipples than I do that they can tell I wear panties.

I think I laughed harder at these comments than I have on any other find! HA!

@Baby Basil- I'm not sure it's a British thing, calling nipple covers "pasties". I've always called them pasties. (Maybe it's a generational thing?) But I'm curious--what in the world are pasties, as in picnic food?

Pancakes with raisins
Are these also called boobies?
Only Mona knows....
+ September 08, 2008 06:08 PM +
daniela sifting though stuff in here
Does the STAR before "nipple", denote the shape to be purchased or does it take the place of an asterisk to show importance?

Do they make: Triangles? Octagons? Arrows? Crescents? Hearts?

Agent Ling Hi in the Orient Express
Mlm, the food called pasties (pronounced past-eez) are meat and potato pies, shaped kind of like a turnover, only with pie crust, not flakey pastry crust. The filling is usually ground beef, and diced potatoes and onions. They are baked, and sooo good.

The Pasty comes from Cornwall, England, but here in the U.S. they were traditionally eaten by miners, who would put a hot pasty in his shirt pocket to keep himself warm on the way to the mine. In the U.S., this peasant delicacy is consumed frequently and almost exclusively in the region of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, where copper and iron mines were abundant in years passed.

And speaking of IHOP. My 3 year old calls it I-PATCH (eye patch). We all like that name better!

@Agent Ling Hi -- I'd heard about those Cornish expat miners who brought the pasty to the USA. But apparently they're nothing like the original, and taste awful!

Chrome in anticipation of next year's Evel Knievel Days! See you in Butte!
Pasties (the meat and potato pie) are also frequently consumed in Butte, MT. (when I discovered a neighbor making Pasties for her mother's birthday, I guessed immediately where they were originally from!) YUMMM!

And Butte's a big mining town. (copper, galena, who knows what else. locally-made pasties also sold in a freezer case at the grocery store in Anaconda, where they used to smelt the ores mined in Butte. Saw them on our stop before going up into the mountains to camp. did not buy any.)

So.. Who knew!? (well, besides Jonathan and very special Agent Ling Hi, anyway? certainly not I.)
