I was involved in an incident like <a href="http://tinyurl.com/4k3j5t" rel="nofollow">this</a> once, but we locked the doors so no dillweed with a camera could get us busted. Everything worked out just fine, thank you. Sonia has foam envy. ;)

Sheesh. You boys and your ten-foot long gouts of foam. Sheesh.

I mean, a ten foot long gout of foam shooting outward.... pretty visual, right? @Sonia – I manage to maintain rather longer term amnesia about most of the dumb mistakes that I’ve made, but this little story is so… visual that I’ve used it in a few other places.

I like your moral, which perhaps for Ittybiz could be alternately phrased as "pay attention, dumbass," but in my eternal optimism, it could also be seen as, "hey, if it didn't kill you, it was worth a shot." Anyway, nice to have a guest humiliating story as a change of pace from Naomi's humiliating stories. I guess I should look through my past for one of my own, but I'm so traumatized by the many, many times I have made a dumbass of myself that I have temporary amnesia. Zit was my first thought as well.

Your story reminds me of an early shaving experience that I could relate, but I think I've embarrassed myself enough already here.... ;) Hey, it does look like a zit exploding!

One secret of success from our folks' era -- nice to see it back in vogue~ Your swell graphic reminds me of my own teen experimentation, not listening to mom's warnings, and carrying the disaster with me ever since. I popped a chin zit (looked just like that) before the school dance despite detailed proof from mom that it would look fine for the dance (it did) but that it would scar and become a warty-thing forever after (it has). She had done the same thing. She was pointing to her proofed-up chin as she warned... alas... now I have a constant reminder: Consider experienced advice, use common sense, don't pick your face... all key to the modern ittyBizzer. Thanks Mark! Common sense, huh? One secret of success from our folks’ era — nice to see it back in vogue~
