grue 1 #26 August 27, 2005 QuoteQuote What happened on the landing? The instructor told me over the radio that I could stand it up... and I guess in my mind I visualized all of the landings I saw 'experienced' skydivers make and without even thinking I stuck out my left leg, as if to run it out, instead of keeping my feet and knees together. OOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWW. I actually grimaced when I pictured that cavete terrae. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cindee 0 #27 August 27, 2005 Quote I actually grimaced when I pictured that It's hard to believe, but I didn't have any pain when it happened. Things felt kinda 'weird' but no pain. A guy landed near me and he came over to see if I was okay. I told him I wasn't sure and asked him to help me up. He grabbed my hand and I tried to stand up (with the rig on) to walk off the field. My leg buckled and I fell back to the ground. That is how I knew the leg was broken. The poor guy turned green when he saw that.__________________________________________________ "If happy little bluebirds fly above the rainbow, why oh why can't I?"

Rebecca 0 #28 August 27, 2005 QuoteLet's talk about something! Oh. dear. I kid not. A woman, from Houston, is calling in to a sex lady on the Oxygen channel (it's been pretty funny) to say (paraphrase): I'm too wet to feel anything 'during'. I heard meat tenderizer helps "dry things up". True? you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I blew my ACL and MCL out, I didn't think anything was wrong, I thought the "POP-POP" was my ski or binding breaking. Tried to stand up, fell down went boom, cursed like a sailor. In fact, the ski patrol and my dad agreed I had a pretty impressive vocabulary for a 13 year old. "Does it hurt?" "No, it doesn't ****hurt, but it's the god damned middle of **** hockey season and my coach is going to knock my **** in the **** dirt when he hears what I ****** did!" Dad: Ski patrol: cavete terrae. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Damn... having watched what meat tenderizer does to steaks before I throw them on the grill (don't leave it too long or the steaks melt), I can only imagine what it does to human tissue... Gah... That's just freaking scary.. I can hear the dispatcher now... "respond reference injured person, excessively tender".

They confuse the shit out of people. So I only wear them around St. Paddy's and Halloween. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

Rebecca 0 #48 August 27, 2005 Yellow... that's why the greenish tint... my parents' genes were very good to me with the form, just not the function. Thank God that's not an issue in this day and age!

Makes me want to see a picture of you. That makes sense to me...I notice more and more people wear glasses and plus that quite a few people now spend a significant amount of time in front of a computer/television screen almost every day."Dancing Argentine Tango is like doing calculus with your feet." -9 toes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
