I was in a bar, the same one I could have hit @jack in and didn't. Parc 55 in SF.
Some geezers were yappin' about tequila. They pointed to the obvious expensive tequila. It's $90 a shot. So they got whatever.
I knew the bartender. "Gimme that one", so I get the $90 shot and whang it down like it ain't no thing. I'm fully aware I'm being a wanker at this point. I'd ordered a pizza to be back at my home and I was gonna watch beisbol. I just did it to fuck with some chimps.
I'm walking out and they say "hey, come back!" and I drink more tequila than is allowed by jeeby creezy. I fall down the escalator in the hotel and fracture my skull. It was not my best moment.
The pizza was still there the next day when I got back from SF general. It was a good deep dish from Zachary's.
I remember losing balance and thinking "this is going to be bad" then there's a gap and then I'm on the floor at Embarcadero BART and I groan and try to get up and someone says "don't move" and they were right because I'd broken ribs. I was not in a good way. I shoulda died.
Unfortunately for you fucks I didn't, so ha. I was in hospital for a couple of days, and my leg was very fucked and nearly needed to be cut off, which would have put a dampener on my race car ambitions. SF General operated, and I still have a left leg, so hurrah.

Huh. Sounds like she is admitting that she wants TFG to lie about things and then after the election if her guy wins they'll give him everything he wants
How's the campaign going for you? I know the guy who's running the Liberal campaign in your riding, he's good at stuff and knows his political practices super well
I'm moderately optimistic, now that our riding has ditched rural Middlesex and picked up south London. But I won't be participating, as I just got the local poll supervisor gig. First time I've done anything like this. But hey, why not. I figure my teacher disciplinary skills will come in handy.
Prosecutors said that the couple had conspired with Cox to commit the murders, not only as part of their apocalyptic beliefs,[17] but also to remove obstacles to their affair[16] and to collect life insurance money and the children's Social Security benefits,[17] using religion to justify their crimes.
True dat. The repeated refrain that they are standing up for God, who is supposed to be all powerful and what not, is interesting especially. Though the "They call themselves satanists but are really jews" was expected and I am surprised not repeated a few dozen times. Course it might be, I made it down about ten and then needed to go shower.
They like to ignore that part. What is really hilarious is all the "you have to get over the past!" or "You can't judge people in the past by what we think now!" shit.
First of all, lol, second, then why ain't you over a 2000 year old execution you fucking hosers.
What a weak-ass god they have, that needs someone to stand up for it. If I had a god, it would go over and kick that god's ass into some lame babby universe.
I walked over to the pharmacy this morning to do a quick consult regarding the thumb I injured yesterday. No stitches needed, just spray it with antibacterial spray and keep it wrapped up. Total cost was 5 euros and that was for the spray. The consultation was free. So far the healthcare in France has been easy to access and cost next to nothing.
It is indeed. I asked for an itemized bill (before insurance, it was over 3000. For a 10 minute visit to get an antibiotic script for an ear infection. Cannot stress that enough) and they sent me an "itemized" bill saying it was over 3000 grand. I called back being all do you not know what itemized MEANS????
Hubby wants to refuse to pay it, but I am all, let us make sure we got no debts right now, what with the federal government threatening to use all your info to go after debtors
Yes, they are. I bought a new one a few years ago. It has a gripper to make sure your fingers don't come in contact with the blade, and I use that thing.
I used to have a mandoline that had a good one of those grip things, and I used it all the time. The one I have now has a crappy one that doesn't hang on well to whatever, so I bought the gloves. They're great, but you do have to remember to use them.
Oh, I'm sure. I've had a similar accident in the past. Hurt like hell, and I had to throw the onion away and wash the slicer because I don't add ichor to my food.

Related - at one point in this video, Illegal Elon whines about losing money and not getting paid for his efforts to buy the election in Wisconsin tomorrow. If you play a drinking game, with "Soros" as the name for taking a drink, I suggest putting the game on hold.

Gee, most of us unimaginative types just crash cars when stupid drunk.
Hats off, so to speak, to your stupid game.
This was the first escalator mishap, yes?
Yeah the second was when I got roofied. That one really fucking hurt.
That's the one I remember from about 3 years ago.
My face and nose is still fucked up from that.
I remember losing balance and thinking "this is going to be bad" then there's a gap and then I'm on the floor at Embarcadero BART and I groan and try to get up and someone says "don't move" and they were right because I'd broken ribs. I was not in a good way. I shoulda died.

Shit that was a bad day.
I remember all that. Not a good time.
Fuck. I only remember the one time.

I hope Fukui specifies his escalator allergy on his medical card.

Yep.
I'm glad you won't need stitches after your mandoline mishap.
I thought it was a mandolin mishap?
Mandoline.
I like my mental image better ;)
Well, yeah. :-)
I'm thinking El Kabong here.
Mandolines are wonderful and so fucking dangerous
They're just dangerous.
You can defeat an entire army of emus with just a few assault mandolines.
Someone should tell the Aussies. They're having an election soon too
Time for some Internet Funz!
Yes. I stupidly didn't use my protective glove.
Yes, they are. I bought a new one a few years ago. It has a gripper to make sure your fingers don't come in contact with the blade, and I use that thing.
I used to have a mandoline that had a good one of those grip things, and I used it all the time. The one I have now has a crappy one that doesn't hang on well to whatever, so I bought the gloves. They're great, but you do have to remember to use them.
Mandolins you play.
Mandolines you use for mandoline purposes.
Words to live by.
Me, too.
You should have seen my hand after that hurdy-gurdy mishap.
So youโre the hurdy-gurdy man!
Was.
Now, I'm just one or the other.
Oh, I'm sure. I've had a similar accident in the past. Hurt like hell, and I had to throw the onion away and wash the slicer because I don't add ichor to my food.
