What fresh teenage hell is this?

[short bus president]

At 30 years of age, I am entirely too old to have developed a facial blemish of the pimplous variety. Yet there it is, right on my upper lip, big as day. Almost ripe enough for the squeezing, if I remember correctly how to handle this little indignity.

What gives? Are they migrating BACK from my ass, now?

[Aristus]

1. Get used to it, man.

I'm thirty-six, and I got a huge, juicy nose pimple just the other day. Damn! Embarrassed the hell out of me at work.

[Pacifist Patriot]

2. Wait! Are you saying they were supposed to go away for awhile?

[VelmaD]

3. You're just hormonal

:P

Seriously though, wash your face thoroughly every day and get a good astringent.

[short bus president]

14. Heh. Heh heh.

You said "get yerself a good ass" tringent.

[VelmaD]

15. Perv!

*snort*

[HEIL PRESIDENT GOD]

4. Watch who you smoke after eom

[Lavender Brown]

5. Oy, don't squeeze a zit

It'll never go away if you do that.

[short bus president]

12. What would you suggest, then?

Electro-cautery? I DO have a soldering iron out in the garage...

:P

6. had one about a month ago

it was on my cheek and kept getting bigger and bigger until it was about the size of Jupiter. Then it started orbiting my face. I was expecting a little head with hair and teeth to pop out. Then overnight it just disappeared. I suspect it was my twin and it ate me while I was asleep.

27. This reminds me of

"How to Get A Head in Advertising" Ever see that flick?

7. I experienced the same metaporphisis

At 27 my epidermis did a 180° and I was faced with the unfamiliar. I never went through teenage acne, never had a pimple, even had problems with overly dry skin. The acne was sooooo bad, cyst like. I went to a dermatoligist who told me that the body changes every 7 years or so. And now, almost 5 years later, my skin is going back to normal. I rarely get pimples now, just around that time of the month. There's a really great product that I used to get my skin back, Proactive. It's excellent and not as expensive as most specialy dermo products. My sister used it in her teens and it completely cleared her up, my mom uses it now.

8. Are you kidding me?

I'm 10 years older than you and I get them all the time.

9. You must be about to have your period

Happens to me every month.

Wait... are you a girl?

[short bus president]

11. No, but don't tell anyone, m'kay?

I try to keep my parts tucked "Wild Bill" like here in the Lounge, and I suspect nobody knows I'm really a dude. ;-)

[Worst Username Ever]

10. Ha! They never go away.

No sympathy for you!

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

13. Come, on... post a picture... dare you

[short bus president]

16. Here ya go, then:

It looks like this, except on my upper lip.

:P

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

18. Ohhhh, that is bad then.... you don't have pimples... you have

an advance case of Mars...

[short bus president]

19. Which I've gotta say is a damn site better than

having even the slightest touch of Uranus.

:P

Thank you, thank you. I'm here all week. Try the veal, it's fantastic...

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

21. Ill set em up, you knock em down...

it is the least I can do...

[short bus president]

23. Oh, so you wanna play dirty, eh?

I'll have you know the little banjo-dude thought I looked mighty fine with the stubble and the Mickey hat. But you cut the punkin' out of that pic - you should've SEEN the things that weird little banjo-dude taught me to do with a punkin'!

:P

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

28. Just found that when I was cleaning up a overflowing

directory of random images... you can imagine what my image directories look like!

[short bus president]

30. judging by that one,

I'd much prefer not to imagine it, thanks!

Weirdo!

:P

17. I had acne continuously until the age of 50

:shrug:

20. BACK from my ass...

Ass pimples. Talk about a real pain in the ass. I started getting acne on my butt a couple years ago. I have a job where I sit most of the day. I'd always worked jobs where I was on my feet. Something about all this sitting must have contributed to these ass pimples. It's driving me crazy.

[short bus president]

22. those aren't ass pimples - that's "rump rot,"

AKA "the ass goblins." It's kinda like the "prickly heat," and not-too-distantly related to bedsores. Talk to yer dermatologist. Or have the thing exorcised by a qualified priest.

[skypilot]

24. Rump rot, ass goblins, BAH!!!

They're pimples dammit. I hate them!! I had a nice soft, smooth little butt and now I've got a bad case of spotty ass. It's just not right.

[short bus president]

26. When all else fails,

you find someone to beat the ass-goblins back down to from whence they came. Sometimes with a ping-pong paddle.

;-)

[skypilot]

29. Take my word for it.

It has occurred to me.

25. Sure it's not Herpes, doc? n/t
