    This thread reminds of the scene in JAWS when the guys were sitting in the cabin of the fishing boat comparing scars.
    Unless any of you guys can can match:

    "A round fired from a .38 snub nose at close range which enters the back within 1mm of the spinal column and then passes through the liver and kidney (which was subsequently removed in surgery) before exiting out the right side of the body. Gunshot victim (ME) then walks next door to his home and informs his mother he needs to be taken to the hospital and then walks to the car and crawls into the back seat"

    I WIN!......I guess :(

    The trick is to remember to not mix barbituates and opiates. Unless it's followed by a good amphetamine to keep your heart going.

    Here are the times i've gotten stitches:

    My cousin throws a metal flashlight at me = stitches in my forehead

    My cousin throws a metal trashcan at me = stitches in my forhead

    My brother wants to play catch, runs down the driveway grabs a rock and says 'catch' = stitches in my forehead

    My brother is playing with my friend and i, my brother's big = i get thrown at my friend, my friend chips his tooth on my face, more stitches... lol

    and playing ice hockey has resulted in stitches in my face too, as well as a broken finger, bruised ribs, spraining my ankle more times than i can count, which i now can't run on, lol, and a knee that hurts to walk on sometimes, oh and i've almost broken both my hips :p thank god i didn't, lol

    Yes, if the wound is wet alot there is a greater chance for infection to develop. And trust me, you do not want that!

    I've had a couple of bad infections. One turned into blood poisoning and I almost lost part of my hand. Plus when the infection runs rampant, it damages the tissues. They'll never quite be the same. KEEP IT DRY!

    Anthony - Yea, I'm following the rules, just was wondering as to the specifics. Cool, that's certainly good to know....I need this finger to point at people and laugh, so I'm going to take good care of it. :)

    It's healing pretty damn good although it's still a bit tender to poke at with my good finger. I am fascinated with it. It is so strange to have this foreign work done to me....stitches are creepy, but cool at the same time.

    Holy hell dude! Your face must look like a baseball glove!

    That's OK though. My teeth are worth about $17,000. I busted my front ones up pretty good two or three times from bicycle accidents, had to have root canal on two of them, had braces which also caused about 7 cavities on my back teeth. My dentist even told me that is he ever saw anyone with braces escape them with no cavities, he was amazed.

    I've had a few stitches in my day. But my best was probably when I dropped a washing machine on my leg. Didn't bleed all that much at first. Found out later that was because of the enamel embedded in my leg. Remove enamel = sudden and large blood loss. Forunately the doctor took the enamel out.

    DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!....unless of course there are some good looking babe types that can handle this task...

    One of my best "non-lethal-force" stories was the year before my little accident I was on the high school freshman football team. Varsity played on Friday night and we lowly freshmen played on Saturday morning. The equipment back then was just sligtly better than the leather helmets they wore back in the early days of football. Anyway...I decided to make an open field tackle against a running back using only my face (great technique). Needless to say I split the inside of my lower lip wide open and was bleeding like crazy. You have to remember...this was way before the days of walk in clinics and finding a doctor on a Saturday morning was next to impossible. We found out about one in a rural area a few miles from my home so off we went to get it stitched up. The doc (may have been a vet for all I know) decided that anesthiesa was not necessary. No local and he would have to stick my mouth every time with a needle several times and that would be just as bad as the stitches...That was his theory and my mom bought it! Hurt like hell...but at least I could brag about how tough I was the next day. Got home and 2 hours later....the stitches came out....Off we go back to the same highly skilled "healer". I can still hear these words comming out of his mouth as if it was yesterday...."DANG...I can't believe those stitches came out...oh well young man...we did it once without anesthesia....we can do it again". Easy for him to say...

    ooh, concussions suck.. i've gotten a bunch of those, lol, probly why i drool now... j/k i used to get hit from behind all the time into the boards (not sure why people liked doin it to me so much, but man did it hurt!) i've gotten some nasty whiplash from that too. the worst, though, was probly about a year and a half ago, in february. i was skating full force to behind one of th nets where there was a little scruffle, my plan was to grab the puck and get out, ya well... an opponent had the same idea, he somehow fell (probly on purpose) i was going a good 20 mph and i trip over him and superman into the boards head first. talk about pain, i swore i felt my whole spine shift an inch, lol. i blacked out and went numb, i thought i was paralyzed at first, but after 5 sec or so i was able to move again, but i was still sorta tingly. lol that was the last hockey game i've played competitively (somewhat by choice, somewhat by me being over 18 and too old for that league). i kinda miss hockey, but i think i'd miss my motor skills more, lol
