kumquatq3 Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Tell us how you broke your toe! How is it by the way? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It would seem it was actually 2 minor fractures. One healed, so I stopped taping the toe, and then my foot started to hurt just above the toe. An X-ray later... How did I cheat death and come away with just a twice broken toe you ask? Simply, it was a dark and stormy night, I just had finished burning the bodies of some chimp zombies I had just vanquished (you always burn them, just to be sure) when I was traveling down some treacherous stairs. I must have had chimps brains on my foot as I slipped and my foot went down toe first. Honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metadigital Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I didn't see my life flash before my eye. At least I can't recall if I did. I wasn't even supposed to be NEAR a car. We had all gone out for a big night, and had safely returned. One of my flatmates had to get his car out and wanted a friends car moved. I volunteered and the stupid idjit didn't notice that I was 30 Wild Turkeys south of sobriety. Not many images from that night, just when I caught the keys my hand and "Joy Ride!" popped into my head; the overwelming desire to know if the back of the road sign on the other side of the road had the same sign affixed to the back of it (), and the sub-millisecond attention span that saw me keep hold of the steering wheel as I turned my head and body to look ... then I was back at home, and another flat mate asked me what happened, everyone else was out looking for me. The police turned up. They asked me if I had been driving. I asked my flatmate what I should say. He said the truth, so I said I had ... Then I remember sitting in the police station and all these men standing around me,, and I was thinking "someone must have done something serious, they all seem pretty upset". ) I found out later someone from the local nightclub recognised me in the wreckage and pulled me clear. I then walked home. No injuries: in fact I have had worse scars from trying to complete back flips in said nightclub when too drunk to make it, and my shins were cut by the edge of the podium on which I started the gymnastic man OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkreku Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I usually hide my car keys before we start drinking. It sounds stupid, but it works.

Judge Hades Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Good to see that you are alright, Ros. I too had my brushes with death. Falling 50 feet out of a tree on hard earth, being sideswiped by a MACK construction truck while on a 10 speed bicycle, going 50 miles an hour head on towards a semi on a frozen highway, blah blah blah. Key thing here is learn from your mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the galaxy. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips.
