Oooh, I loves me some scabs. Wish I had some right now. Sadly, I don’t…time to go rock climbing again. (I’m of the womanly persuasion, as well.) Have fun with yours.
Been there, fun huh? Lots o’ blood. 
Isn’t it though? Actually it leaves a really thick scab behind.
Lissa I can totally relate to this. My mom had asked me if I was getting hit by my SO at the time. He did turn out to be an ass but not like that. Anyway, she should know better than anyone how clumsy I am.
Dijon Warlock Can bet in on the picking fest too?
Sorry, I meant to ask if 'i can be in on the picking fest too?
(Doing my best to parse this in English…:))
If you are female and kindly, then you may have at me (I hate to be biased on the gender thing, but having men pick at me just doesn’t seem interesting…nothing against them, mind you, but I can’t get enthused for various reasons).
Well, you’re scabby and loving it and Shagnasty smells like … Ugh. I’d like to purge the memory of that thread forever.
Ah, another putrid day on the Dope.
Yes, you can! In fact, if you’re the most enthusiastic petitioner, you may have me all to yourself.
It may sound like a pipedream, but it could happen!!!eleven!
(I’m starting to thing I should have taken pictures…)
Aw, now come ON! You can’t drop a comment like that without a link to back it up.
(I’m starting to “thing”?!? Stupid keyboard, doing what I tell it instead of what I want it to.)
Oooooooooooooooooooh, Yay! I’m in.
Pictures? Yeah it’s not too late for pic’s (of scabs of course. 
)
Oh yeah, and I am a female too!
Your lucky day!
Pipedream? Maybe, but as you said ‘It could happen’.
Aw, yeah…I am totally into this.
Ellen Cherry: Thank you, thank you, thank you. That thread brings me full circle. I have long hated the misrepresntation of “pus” as “puss” (I had a thread here about it, but can’t find it anymore), and now I have the reverse to kvetch about, as well.
Vagina is yummy, and anyone who claims otherwise doesn’t deserve to have access to one.
Scabs are nice, but for sheer erotic pleasure, you need to peel a sunburn. Trying to get as much as you can with one slow peel…that kinda “rrrip” sound it makes…pleasure shudder
Oh, hey, you don’t need to tell ME that. Two years ago, I got one of the worst sunburns of my life (same bike, actually). I totally cooked both of my legs, to the point that I couldn’t even bend my knees for about a week.
When the peeling started, it was delectable.
I was getting so much square-inchage that I considered making a book out of my epidermis-shards.
(How do you like Dubuque, by the way? I know you used to live in IC, so we were probably neighbors for a while. Dubuque is hilly but has some really cool old houses.)
I killed the underarm-vagina thread, but I don’t know if I can muster the strength to finish this one off.
Never underestimate your own influence.
You may completely fail, but at least you can self-implode trying.
Move it and groove it, baby!
Ooh, how about callus-peeling? Every time I go hiking for more than a day or two I get a huge water blister on each foot, which eventually settles down to a full-sole callus. Peeling those puppies is freaking incredible-- imagine ripping off hearty strips of skin a millimeter thick. It’s a gift that keeps on giving for about half a year.
Get a big bottle of Bactine, which will disinfect, & help with the itching.
I been there, Dijon.
A dozen or more years ago, I worked in a hospital, where I could get sterile hollow syringe needles to puncture myself without infection. They were GREAT on blisters.
It was awesome.
We are some sick bastards, aren’t we?
Sometimes the calluses (calli?) were so thick I’d have to get at 'em with nail clippers.
I buy lancets over the counter for testing my blood sugar. They don’t ask for any sort of ID. Lancets are pretty short, but very good for opening a zit that won’t pop. It’s been a while since I’ve had a blister, so I don’t know how lancets work on them.
I’ll probably be picking a few scabs myself in a couple of days…my husband is out on his farm, doing maintenance, which means he’ll probably come home with quite a few scrapes and such.
There’s a bar in Prescott, Wisconsin, right at the confluence of the Mississippi and St. Croix rivers, called Scab’s Place. I just bought one of their hats last weekend. It says, “Scab’s Place” on the front, but on the side it says:
Thanks for picking Scab’s.
I’ve looked to see if they have a website, but I can’t find one. The one site that looks like their website has a Yahoo email address that doesn’t work. They do have a phone number: (715) 262-4070
They’re nice hats.
