No words.

Just laughs.
 
The lady in the front row next to the guy in the white sweater appears to have **** herself. Looks like she has some five o'clock shadow too. That's an ugly ****ing crowd.
 
Oatmeal, gonna start following that one.

My cat decided at 4am this morning that she had simply had enough of my insipid sleeping and went all Walker Texas Ranger on exposed foot. Rude awakening but it was immediately followed up with a solid cleaning and a heavy amount of purring. *******. Sweet adorable *******. God I love my pets.

I am nursing a fractured skull and have been for a few days. I went in to have my front tooth pulled (long story). It had been giving me trouble for years and after discussing the options my dentist and I decided that the best thing to do is remove the thing and then replace it by adding 1 more tooth to the bridge I have up front.

So I go in to get the tooth pulled and after about 20 minutes of trying different ways of yanking on the thing my dentist decided that it would be best to break the root and then remove the pieces. He gets to work and is sort of wrenching/pounding away when I feel/hear this thunk! that vibrates all the way up into my nose which starts bleeding heavily right away.

We tip my head back fill it with gauze and then my dentist gets the X Ray machine out and takes a few pictures. It seems that my tooth had a deformed root that had embedded itself into my skull sometime during my development and while he new there was some sort of anomaly my dentist figures he would get a better look at it once the tooth was removed. He went back to work not seeing the small fracture and finally got the tooth out of my head. Once he did my nose started bleeding like mad again and I mean like mad. I went through three sets of gauze before it slowed down. He put 3 membranes and a bone graff? into the massive hole in my head and stitched closed. As I was leaving my dentist said "ya know what? I want to get a picture of that thing one more time before you leave. I need to be sure that everything is right in there before I send you home".

He takes a few more xrays and then a few more after that and says "stay right there for a minute". I asked him if everything looked alright and he said "I think you have a small fracture above the area I was working on and I want be certain before we talk about next steps". I lay there for another 20 minutes and he comes back to tell me that he has spoken to a couple of doctor pals of his and they have seen the xrays and agree that there is a fracture that is about 3 cm's long. He then recommended that I head to the hospital and let them get a better look. I called a family member who is a GP and they told me to have the dentist send the info to them. He did they looked and said really there isn't much that they can do except keep an close eye on my and wait to see how things go for the next 72 hour.

Weird stuff but there you go. The 3rd time I have cracked my skull and this time I was sitting down when it happened. I have a great dentist and I mean a great one. If it sounds like what happened was their fault at all then I am explaining things wrong. This guy is the best I have had in my life so it was a no worries thing to me. He still insisted on not charging me for the work and paying for the addition to my bridge as well as any medical bills that may come up. I told him not to worry about it, I have incredible medical insurance so it isn't any worry to me. That said my mouth from my upper lip through my eyes are swollen and black and blue like I have had my ass kicked by Tyson. All in good fun I guess.

Where are those danged Kitties? My puppy won't leave my side which is cool and the cats treat her (the puppy) like it is one of their own litter so it is all good around here.

Yeah, according to the main boards he's a career average goaltender - the years he was carrying the team were a mass hallucination, apparently. I guess he's a product of the defense.

Continuing that, many on the main boards also insist that Doughty is overrated as well. You see, he's on a stacked team, but despite that he's not putting up stats head and shoulders above his teammates. (Apparently the same dynamic on loser teams where a standout player can run rampant and pad his stats is supposed to be the norm on a highly structured team like the Kings. Who knew? We're all bandwagon fans anyway.) Anyway, the point is that Doughty is a product of the team's defense as well - or is it the goaltending? Maybe the offense, I dunno. The point is that he's not a sum or a quotient, he's a product.

The really important point is that the Kings were exceedingly lucky the last few years, but because they missed the playoffs last year (I'm sure it was by 30 points or something, right?) they are now done and are never coming back. In fact they will be relegated to the NCAA in 5 years time.

Feel better. Just say the skull fracture was from playing hockey. Sounds more badass.


:nod:
 
I would tell peeps that a Ninja broke my skull. Imagine the "you should have seen the other guy" jokes. It's almost too easy.

I might also say that William Hung was the culprit. The look of shock of people's faces would be priceless.

I thought we all agreed to mark the main boards as a no-fly zone.

In like... 8th grade? I had a weird ****ing injury, where I rode off the curb on a bicycle, and I must have had my wrist PERFECT, cause I got a small fracture. Yup, that stupid. I spent my childhood throwing myself around plenty, and haven't really had other breaks. Not made of glass... I still don't understand, musta hit it exactly right?


When random people would ask sometimes I would just say "I was jumping my father's car on a dirt bike, and when I was landing a cat ran out in front of me. I tried to miss it and broke my wrist in the process"
I got an impressive amount of "Really?!"

Quoted simply for the William Hung references. Well done, good sir.
 
Hey guys ! I don't post much, but I was wondering if any of you would have interest in joining my fantasy league. I currently have 13 more spots. If interested, I can email you an invite. Thanks!
