I'm a firm believer in karma, not to mention superstitious as all get-out, but I can't figure out what consigned me to this.

I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Guess I'll offer it up for my sins.

smetchie | 5729 comments OUCH! I've heard that's painful. How did you do it, Clark?

Haven't quite figured that out yet. Woke up Tuesday morning and it felt like I had an eyelash caught in my eye. Figured I'd take a shower and it would flush out on its own. No dice. Tried to flush it out with Visine. Nothing. By that time, it was really starting to burn, so I went to our opthamologist. He said I probably had something in my eye and rubbed it just right (or wrong in this case) and scratched it.

Feels like I have an eyeful of sand.

Rusty (rustyshackleford) | 2198 comments I've done that too, Clark - it's a bitch.

By the way, I visited Del Rey as kind of a dare the other day. I don't think I'll be going back.

Sally (mrsnolte) | -1 comments WOW! I scratched my cornea when I was seven climbing a Russain Olive tree in my neighbor's yard. I was hanging upside down, scootching along the branch, looking up, and I knocked a thorn right into my peeper.
That was my first and only trip to the hospital until I was 23 and drank myself super sick in New Orleans once.

smetchie | 5729 comments Oh Dear. Super sick like alcohol poisoning? I guess if you're going to do it that's the place for it.

Sally (mrsnolte) | -1 comments Naw, I was a pro at alcohol poisoning back then. It was a super weird strong strain of tonsilitis that took 4 mos and 28 different types of antibiotics to wallop.

Sally (mrsnolte) | -1 comments I think I got it from kissing random strangers on the street. It was New Years 2000.

Rusty (rustyshackleford) | 2198 comments Ah. I remember alcohol poisoning, and passing it off as a flu to mom and dad. Good times.

smetchie | 5729 comments Rusty you aren't posting a foot avatar? I'm shocked.

You would think the alcohol would have cleared that right up!?

Ugh. Do you have an eyepatch? Are you doing pirate imitations?"


Arrrrgggghhh! No eyepatch! Now I have to go drain the sea monster.

Are you fucking crazy?

I'll give you points for having testicles the size of Godzilla's, but now that you've made it out alive, I'm thinking that you shouldn't tempt fate by doing it again if you ever get the chance. Probably the second or third worst place you could have chosen. A couple guys on my softball team live near there and they won't even go.


message 16: by Rusty (new)

Rusty (rustyshackleford) | 2198 comments Yeah, I'm not going back. I think my main advantage was the fact that everyone was so effing surprised to see me there, that they froze, and missed their opportunity to react*.

*beat me, maim me, rob me, take my car, realize that no chop shop wants it, rape me, kill me, chop me up into little bits, dump me in the lake.
