You'll put your eye out with that thing!

Okay, as you may or may not have noticed, I have not been on much the last couple days. I've had a minor injury to my left eye and the brightness of the screen irritates it some.

How did i hurt my eye, you ask? Hehehe. Like everything I do, I had to do it silly. I got hurt playing rugby with some friends both old and new. Many of them are college age and in some ways made me felt old. Oh, I don't mean that they were faster or stronger or more durable than me. I mean that they just pop up from a nasty tackle a little quicker. I don't know. I think I've aged pretty well. But I digress. In the process of a particularly nasty tackling of me, in a freak mishap, one of two opponents ended up landing on my head crotch-first and his protective cup blackened my eye and scratched my cornea.

Yeah, I know. Only I could get stabbed in the eye with a groin, right? :p The mix of concern and ribbing about the incident from friends is some comfort in my time of pain. The doctor said I don't need to wear an eyepatch, but maybe I should get one anyway. :p

Do we point and laugh? Or do we secretly make snide remarks about his age?

We are uncommon. Popularity seems to wax and wane between 'rug-what?' and 'rugby is like football without pads, right?' Still, a few hardy and rowdy souls still keep interest alive. Much to my delight, a local college has an intramural league and I was recently introduced to some of the kids(yes, 20 looks like a kid to me. :p )

Perhaps a t-shirt saying, "Beware of flying crotches!" is in order. That might draw some odd looks at the store. :)

You should have on the back of the T-shirt "Beware of MY flying crotch".

Not at all. I realize you're an expert when it comes to sticking your head into men's crotches. I would never sully your aptitude, nay gift for such thing.

Was it a hard tackle?

Did you have your eye on the ball?

These questions and more...

It was just a little prick. Not the first time I had a teabag under my eye. ;)

Would that not infer that LG's crotch has divorced itself from his groinal area and is now an autonomous flight capable entity in its own right?

Funnily enough, back in the day, this very excuse was used by LG as to why he'd two-time'd his date.

"It was the strangest thing..."

It worked.

This is a perfect example of the hypocrisy in our society. If fifteen people and I went to the park, started jumping on each other and attacking each other with our groins, people would be fine if we announced, "don't worry, we're just playing rugby." If, on the other hand, we announced, "don't worry, we're just having an orgy..."

You should wear an eye patch. Then you can be like Phil Ken Sebben!

Yeah, my cousin had to get a MEXICAN cable TV subscription to get a sports feed with rugby on it.

Toughen up LG :D what was the guy wearing a crotch protector for in the first place? padding is for sissies and gridiron girls :D

Oddly enough, this might explain his seemingly testicular fortitude. It is not indestructible, as we previously thought. Whenever blunt trauma appears to be heading for that region, it simply migrates away, either to another part of the body, or by forcibly tearing itself from his body, severing nerve ends and blood vessels, not to mention the urinary tract.

This would explain the pain he feels at the exact time of impact, and at the same time, its high survivability rate. That being said, perhaps it is now prudent to invest in airspace denial weaponry. For research purposes of course.

An excellent question. I don't wear one. They just make it worse. Like having a plate on top of my groin to smoosh em against my pelvis with. Besides, I could put an eye out with that thing. ;)

Well congratulations for playing rugby, which has been estimated by scientists to be about 341% more excellent than American football.

Get a second opinion. Or just an eyepatch, and damn the medical consequences.
