sorry, sarameg! If it's any consolation, that guy is alive & kicking today. In fact, he didn't even retire after that injury but kept playing for a couple more years.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
WHY DID I CLICK ON DANI'S LINK.
Same reason I did, probably, which is fuck if I know but I always look for and sometimes even google the grotesque sports accidents.

No need to apologize. I was warned. I knew what it would be. I knew it would make me go ewewewOW and cringe.
And yet, I clicked anyway.
And I call my employers stupid.....

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Catching up on old Daily Shows - Brian Williams is officially my new network news boyfriend.Back off. He's mine. Has been ever since he was on TDS last Nov. 30. I still have it saved on the dvr. He is funny and smart and I think I wuv him.
I can't speak highly enough about the contour pillow, or at least, about the relief it has brought me.How did you know I was going to ask you to post that link again? Are you reading my mind again?
I need a new pillow as 1. mine is old and 2. apparently it doesn't have enough of a bump to give me my cervical curve (looking down all day, not helping either) back. I've actually used a rolled up towel under my neck the last two nights and while less comfy, I've felt better.
My brain is just on auto-repeat with todger, todger, todger. I wonder if this is going to stop. Ever.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Nora, why CAN'T you cancel, even if your friend is Drama McSceneypants? Is she gonna not be your friend anymore? And what kind of friend is she, if that's true? Isn't part of being friends cutting each other slack? And do you think I have asked enough questions in this post?

Hi Dana!
Heh, amych. A friend was nominated for a photo-journalism award for his shot of that weightlifter whose arm snapped in the middle of a lift. I still can't look at the picture. At all.
Not that I meant to get on this train of thought anyways -- it's all JohnSweden's fault.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I think Robin should be in the White House press corps.

She has honestly had a really tough time these last couple of weeks and I want to support her. She is Drama McSceneyPants, but what she is going through is, actually, pretty shitty.
I'm just snappy about it 'cause I'm so tired.
I'm... almost... there! I will leave in about an hour. This is the place we're going. I will probably start snoozing while I wait for her.

What is even happening?
Dani, what part of that hockey player was injured? It looks for all the world like a slashed carotid.
