Well, another day of fun cut short. SOme friends and I got an early start to the day, went out into a local field with a cooler full of beer and snacks and played some rugby. As far as I know, they're still playing and having fun. I'll probably see them later tonight. I'm just stopping at the house real quick to change my icepack.

Why? Because cleats+face=broken nose. :(

On the bright side, it's considerably more flexible now. I'll never understand why people want rigid noses. They just break. We should have squishy noses that can absorb impact. Well, I'm off to the doctor. Take care. :p

You broke your nose and on the way to the doctor's, you stop by to make a note of it in General? :eek:

It belongs on one of those "you've been here too long when" lists.

My sympathies mate. Bad luck. But on the up side, half your face will change colour over the next few days :)

I can't count the number of times I've wondered about our inflexible beaks. You're definitely not the first. Also, to me it seems to be the single best argument both against ID & evolution. I mean, your average cave guy could be screwing the females left & right, while the alpha male's getting the blood out of his eyes & poking his tender snout, all because he fell out of a damn tree...
And ID is laughable. At best it's IDF - Intelligent Design Flaws.. And I'd personally substitute the "Intelligent" with "Malicious 3 Year Old".



Yea.. I broke my nose not too long ago.. For the 4th or 5th time. It bothers me somewhat.

Bah, Norm Hewitt played with a broken arm for the last 30 minutes of a game once. He had to prop with the broken arm, too. He got to lift the NPC first division trophey at the end of it though.

I just dropped off a quick note while my wife packed a new ice pack.

But... maybe you're right. It's all part of my mystique. :)

Exactly. I get to lift a Sam Adams. Which is a good beer, but I'm really enjoying percocet. :)

Which brings up another interesting question; why is it that the older you get, the groovier your pain medications get? The last time I broke a major bone, all I got was Ibuprophen 800mg. Now I get Percocet? What's up with that?!?

Funny...I tried that with my broken leg, but it didn't work. I also tried gluing it back together, but that was a problem, too. :confused:

Percocets are too good to be wasted on the already wasted?

I broke my leg playing rugby. And it bloody hurt too. But on the bright side at least you can brag about your impressive sporting injury in the future. I couldnt really, as I fell on my leg in a rather "amusing" way, according to onlookers, which has reduced all posibility I had of using it as an excuse for respect.

Naw, can't be the answer. When I injured myself during marching band three years back (don't even make any band geek jokes, I don't do marching band anymore) they put me on Percocet, and that was the time that I was like, PERPETUALLY stoned.

Wait, was....is....I'm still perpetually stoned.....

I broke my nose once and it sucked. I went to the doctor and he stuck this spoon-like instrument up my nose and pushed all the cartilege back in place and then packed it full of gauze. I had to keep gauze in my nose for a week or so and it was very annoying.

When I broke my nose, my eyes were swollen- one was shut, the other almost. I couldnt see really well at all through the one.

And the sensation of the moment of impact kept happening-it was awful.

Well, we had to go very swiftly from a half-time to a double-time, it was the first show running through blindly in these formations, and essentially I got smacked by a trombone, sidestepped, and snapped my ankle.

Pff. You've not had proper painkillers until you've tried one of those nifty self-medicating morphine machines they've got these days. They're the business!

When I broke my wrist several years ago and had to go to the after hours, they shot me up on morphine, and I don't remember noticing a difference. I'm not sure they were telling the truth about getting the good stuff.

Yeah I might have. My wrist kept hurting and where the needle went in (into my ass cheek) hurt for ages as well, so I'm not quite sure it was actually morphine.
