Friday Night Nibblesomes


Isn't nibblesome a lovely word? Oh, I think so. I think I just made it up tonight. So far, I'm the only human impressed with this word.

My nibblesome was faux turkey sandwich and Orange Creamsicle yogurt (boo on the yogurt).

It's been a stressful time. Things have been forgotten. Things have been remembered.

But I am relatively healthy and superbly loved, although my best lover is loving from afar.

Sometimes I have a moment when moments haven't been so grand, and I say, "This is a pretty notable moment."

Tonight's notable moment: Madonna's "Crazy for You," me untangling clown red synthetic hair from some flowers and baubles, crossed-legged in my underwear on the beat-up hardwood floor in the all-pink room with wise wig heads nodding at me.  Hopped up on tea and the encouragement of the ceiling fan, moving a giant fox head and a plethora of vintage lingerie, I knocked my wrist hard against a door nob. Bye bye!

Maniple

In the Western Church: a strip of material suspended from the left arm near the wrist, worn as one of the Eucharistic vestments. (OED)

The left side is sinister. The Eucharist is male body. 

It is possible for men to produce breast milk. Galactorrhea
A shirtless man wearing an eyepatch and signing his checks left-handed cannot be trusted. Especially in church. He might be tempted to give Mary a rest--cradle the baby Jesus for a while. Hunker down in all those robes.

It seems like there are more triple nipples (thirples) on men than on women.

It should be strongly suggested that all
thirples be pierced, or at least displayed frequently (perhaps using body crayons for emphasis).

A man
with a nipple on his foot must be uncomfortable. Foot-nipples are unhappy-making.

MaNIPulate.
Shield. Alas, poor Janet.

Grace Jones sang "Nipple to the Bottle," although I never heard it. But also "Warm Leatherette," which is sort of hard to actually dance to but easy to throw attitude at.  She was also on "Election Day." I did like Arcadia's record when it came out--more than the Powerstation (and that made me sad because John Taylor was my favorite).

We would most likely know if Grace Jones had three nipples.
