Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for March 18, 2010

exactly

Oh, the heartbreak of cello scrotum….

Get Bag Balm! This is udderly ridiculous.

You have GOT to be kidding me…

I count the word nipple 10 times and scrotum only once. Where’s the parity?

I think I have Frog Applause nipple.

Also, does GoComics provide rash guards or is that our responsibility?

I always sleep with my hands above the covers. Sometimes in handcuffs.

And so you should Barticle35, notice that the kid isn’t sleeping much either?

Yeah. Well. Wear a good sports-bra, if you must jog. –But I don’t know what the remedy is when reading Frog Applause….

I think Cello Scrotum is a character in the current Dick Tracy story arc.

What do women itch in the morning?

Or bicycle seat hematuria.

Jogger’s nipple is caused by friction from the repeated rubbing of a t-shirt or other upper body clothing against the nipples during a prolonged period of exercise.

The condition is suffered from mainly by runners. Long-distance runners are especially prone, because they are exposed to the friction on the nipple for the greatest period of time. However, it is not only suffered by athletes; the inside of a badge, or a logo on normal items of clothing can also cause the friction which results in this condition.

The condition is easily preventable. Viable methods include:

Running shirtless whenever weather permits. Using a large, loose-fitting T-shirt during exercise. Sticking a small bandage or paper surgical tape over each nipple before the commencement of exercise, to act as a barrier between skin and cloth. If the skin is already damaged, apply a pure lanolin product (e.g. Lansinoh or Bag Balm) to the area prior to exercise to prevent chafing. If the skin is not damaged, a barrier product (e.g. Vaseline) can be used. These products do not allow air to circulate around damaged skin; this can prevent healing if used over a period of time. NU-Skin liquid Bandage can be very helpful for healing although it may sting initially, it also works as a preventative and is more discreet than tape. Using specialized products available to prevent the condition such as rash guards. Wearing a sports bra, shimmel, compression vest, or some variety of chest binding clothing.

This condition should clear within a few days. If not, medical attention is warranted.

This was not exactly what I was thinking of when I observed there was less T than A on Frog Blog. The lesson here is be careful what you wish for.

Frog Applause: It’s not just an off-beat comic strip, it’s a medical condition!

Teresa has certainly jogged our mammaries today.

re blog “mummy”and today’s F/A … someone’s got a bad nipple jones…

R.I.P. Alex Chilton, I cry like a baby!

I love nipples. It has some of the most beautiful beaches in florida.

Cure for jogger’s nipple: don’t jog. Cure for FA nipple: STOP TOUCHING YOURSELF WHEN LOOKING AT THE BLOG!

That latest FA tool on the blog must be a prototype. No opposable thumb!? Huh! Also, it looks a bit like it could sure make some sore/red nipples! Org.

What! No insightful comments from JAD????

In which we learn about a condition most of us were probably unaware of. What a great service Teresa does for humanity!

What about Olympic walkers? They look like they’ve got some kind of irritating condition too.

I just saw the Anita Ekberg pic on the blog… now my FA nipple is back!

Thanks alot, Teresa!

@rotts Don’t temp fate! lol

Kenny will NEVER be any fun, shytimes2, but I will…

(AND, I will never ever have to worry about sore nipples from jogging. I spit on jogging, and spit on the graves of the ancestors of those who DO jog.)

I am not a “good boy”.

It do look familiar, yessiree bob, shytimes2.

All day about “Jogger’s Nipple” and nobody has mentioned that this malady is the result of a serious wardrobe malfunction, I think Anita Ekberg is about to have her own malfunction on the blog, too. Whatever happened to Catherine?

shytimes2… I can tell you’re going to fit in just fine in these here parts…welcome! tee-hee

And as far as being no fun, all I can say is that sometimes I say things I really didn’t mean to say… or I say things so others won’t have to say them… or I even go so far as to say one thing so others won’t understand what it is I’m really trying to say… know what I’m sayin’? wink

Teresa, is this a mutant trap?

I once had Oenology Nipple; rare, but….there, despite all reports to the contrary. Usually results from over exposure to an imbalance of fruit acid to tannic acid in robust red wines during crazed bacchanalia. More: in a related field, this is what Cider House Rules were enacted to prevent in the making of apple juice. Uh huh. Over to you, Roger.
