People who needle, take jabs, make shots, or poke at me get under my skin.
They are pricks or boxers: or both.
But I like them anyway. I must be masochistic.
note: the syringe was just a water squirter before the invention of the needle.
double note: Is there a rhinodermic needle to go with the hippodermic one?
triple note: I thought the name came from the knight who invented it; but it comes from the Greek word for a shepherd’s pipe. I have to get my facts straighter.
quadruple note: recto-thermometer pens are usually crappy.
quintuple note: I never became an astronaut because I am afraid of the Space Needle.
sextuple note: “Sir Inge and the 100CCs” would be a good name for a band. 10 times better than 10CC!

Is needle the plural for noodle?

Masochistic eh? Would you like me to send you a pair of Jagermeister leather chaps? They go really well with sadomasochism, I hear.
Rhino/Hippo: I love.
note: you need to break away from your shear addiction… although it’s probably a good thing to train on something just in case in two years you decide to turn against yourself against. Ah, sadomasochistery!
Kelly, you’re such a noodle! Do you want leather chaps too?

Planet ! I know that you need a hippo dermic noodle for rhinoplasty.

Get the needles away from me!!!
I have dreams where a nurse is coming at me with a big needle & my legs won’t work to escape. I can’t get away she just keeps getting closer & closer, I scream but there’s no way out AAAAIIIIEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Just a dream, but I still hate needles

Thanks for all the comments.
I have a 10 year old student whose pride and joy is a syringe shaped mechanical pencil given to her by her dentist. I saw these pens at a store and knew she’d like one. I’m nice like that sometimes.
Mr. Badger: are you suggesting I have a big nose?
