'Out Of Gas'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
One of my good friends in high school had half a pinky. He had a run in with a sausage grinder as a child. It always stuck me as something so...Dickensian or something. Not late-70s, grandpa's garage project.
When people would be too nosy about it, his older sisters used to say that the Juarez mafia kidnapped him and chopped it off with a cigar cutter but gave him back with no ransom because he was so annoying.
That's way better than telling my little brother that our parents buried the other little brothers under the front deck when they were bad.
I'd like to formally register my displeasure with something......
It was 85 on monday. There were BUGS. They are now predicting maybe an inch of snow in the morning.
WRONG.
Ew, finger amputation. Big yuck, and big ow for the poor kid and family!
My only toy box story was when a few friends and I were jumping rope in the unfinished basement of our house, and I tripped on the rope and fell, landing with my forehead hitting the corner of the toy box (just missed taking out my eye, which was a good thing). Ended up with six stitches and a nice little scar, but that's it.
I did almost bite off my tongue when I was three (well, the last half-inch or so of it) when I jumped off the swing in the backyard, but the teeth only went most of the way through the tongue, and it healed pretty quickly.
I searched COMM.
Boy, do I hate the Green Lantern.
Allyson, your contempt for the Green Lantern has been the cause of some *serious* donkey-laughing on my part, and I love you for it.
Heehee!
I had one childhood friend whose little brother had the preschool teachers horrified about a terrible accident they'd had which cost their dad his arm, my friend her ear and him two fingers on one hand. Except, there was no accident. They were all born that way (only now does it occur to me that there must have been some weird gene thing happening. But then, they moved out of state when I was 6 and I haven't thought of them in years.)
That Green Lantern shit still cracks me up. He's afraid of yellow!
Thanks for the flattery on the COMM, guys. Except for a couple catnaps I've been at work since 7:30 am yesterday and it lifted my spirits.

Seconded. That was quality snark. Not to mention whenever you get started on that Footprints passage.
Footprints! OMG that thing makes me rage.
