Oh, poor Emmett.
You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

If I only had a brain...
Oh, poor Emmett and poor Hec. You feel so terrible when the kid's hurt; it's always your fault somehow.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Also? It's frelling snowing here.

"My drink preference does not indicate my sexual preference. "
NO! This is WRONG! Now March is harming poor little Emmet!
That is IT!
IT IS NOW OFFICIALLY APRIL!
If we all think it's April, then March can't hurt us. The Buffista's can make a new callender, one where March doesn't exist, except in letter heads handed down from strange and creepy bosses.

My experience with kids is that they find it much easier to back down if you don't argue with them. Let Emmett say loudly that he never wants to do baseball again, nod and sympathize.
That way he hasn't had a chance to back himself into a position he may think better of.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Poor Emmett. Please keep us updated, JZ.

I am so sorry that I brought the Buffistas to March's attention. Next year I'll just throw myself heroically into a hell dimension at the beginning of the month and save you all the angst.

Our wings are not tired
Poor Emmett!
To counter the bad march though, I've been having a good one.
Picked up another week of work in NYC for next month, and I just got booked for not one, but two shows today. Both of them happen in June. I also got asked about availability for two other shows.

Good lord. Poor Emmett. Been there, done that (not a baseball, a car wreck), and having had multiple broken bones, 2nd degree burns, and over 100 stitches in my life (I was an active child), it hurt worse than anything else.
But it heals, quickly, and the memory of the pain fades fast. I don't know if platitudes from an utter stranger would help at all, but feel free to reassure him - this is as bad as it gets, it only gets better. Probably will bounce off his hurt - it did for me - but I can try.
(And now my nose aches. Lord, lord, what a thing.)

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
Walk it off, kid...
What?
Poor Emmett. I've gotten hit in the face several times. Fortunately, the worst I ever got was a black eye.
Eeep. Poor Emmett. I've taken a hard-hit softball to the face, and, like DX, no broken bones, but it really fucking hurts. Or perhaps that goes without saying.
