Thank you both. Now I understand.
Your avatar always "bothered" me because I knew it was something bike related, but had never figured out what exactly. The "purple nurples" thing didn't help me much. First, that nipple looks like a black one to me!
I always thought I was color blind. And also there is no such word "nurple" in Webster's dictionary.
Purple nurples... Kids are cruel everywhere. Ouch!
