Re: Anyone got good scars?
Mystery scar on the palm of my right hand which just spontaneously appeared there, so I can tell.
Oddly enough... me too.
Wash: This landing's gonna get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: *shrug* "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die"?
Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

Re: Anyone got good scars?
I was working with a dremel tool, the bit was a high-speed steel metal cutter, and I was removing window putty from a glass window that had been broken.  A co-worker came up and pounded on the table to scare me, and I brought the dremel tool down on top of my left hand, barely missing the major arteries in my hand.  I've got a small patch of skin that looks goofy on top of my left hand now, about the size of a nickel.

Re: Anyone got good scars?
Eddie, that sure looks like a wound, not a scar. How old is it?

Actually, that's what I meant. In all likelihood it won't scar at all - I've had worse that's healed over completely. :)

And no one's got photos? I'm disappointed! :D

I've got a large collection, but I won't have a digital camera until tomorrow. :) Mostly it's smaller scars punctuated with large swipes and a few burn marks.

Re: Anyone got good scars?
I've got a cross shaped scar on my forehead, one slash on my chin that's covered by my goatee (most of the time, anyway),  and a few from barbed wire on my legs. All from back when I was fighting in 'Nam*, of course.

* Actually, it was all on the ongoing secret war with the alien invaders over the Amazon Forest, but I wasn't supposed to tell you that.

I`ve got a few on my right leg, no hair wil grow there.. Molten iron at 2800 degrees can be a hazard if not handled carefully, as I found out.. Hmm, that was over 30 years ago..

Re: Anyone got good scars?
A scar on the underside of my left arm right above the elbow.  Got it in a bicycling accident, I got to have fun landing on rebar.  I have several on my hands, some of which I can't remember how I got.  One on my left hand is from doing something with a computer, can't remember what though, and there's  my left thumb which almost got all of the skin to the left of my thumbnail sliced off.  There's a couple on my right hand too but I can't remember those.  Oh, and one under my eye from a fight, it's almost gone but you can still see it upon close examination.


This didn't leave much of a scar, really barely noticable, but still there.  I had a mishap with homemade torches (actual torches made from rags and sticks) and Kerosene.  I decided that pouring kerosene straight from the can onto the torch wouldn't result in anything disastorous.  I have not idea where my head was a the timd.  :D  Resulted in a  couple of second degree burns, but for the most part 1st degree.

It did a flamethrower effect and caught me on my left side.  Caught the left side of my shirt on fire and burnt my left wrist and some figners up nicely.  I feel lucky because the way I look at it, if that can had been pointed more toward the center of my chest it would've gotten me alot worse.

Duude. It sounds soooooo much more macho if you don't elaborate. "I've got a 2-inch scar in my chest from the entry would of a hollow-point." ;)

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Less story, more photo!

Here are four of the many. Most of these I got through my own stupidity :D

Different cat, but generally felines don't like being rolled over on, even when you're sleeping.
Pressure washer motors surprisingly do become somewhat warm after running for ten minutes
I have proof! Vampires do exist!

And of course the various other nicks and scrapes, too many to count right now.

Re: Anyone got good scars?
One rrrreally old one on my right cheeck. About 4cm long. It's quite unnoticeable but since I know it's there I can see it well.
How I got it? Teased my grandmothers cat when I was about 5 years old.

And just recently I teared my right hand knuckles to my friends broken motherboard when I was throwing it away.

Re: Anyone got good scars?
So very many stories to tell. Bless you, Setekh.

Lessee, I've got a small scar right below my left Eyebrow from where I tripped and bashed my head on a lawn chair when I was young.

I've got two surgical scars right at the spot where my stomach meets my pelvis. I was born with a hurnia (sp?), and had it removed a year or so after I was born.

My elbow is kinda mangled from when I got into a bike riding accident. I was doing sharp turns around an apartment complex's parking lot, and misjudged just how close I could get to the baking hot asphalt. 2 meters skidding along on my elbow...

I have another small scar right at the tip of my forearm.

My brother probably has the most cringe-inducing story you'll ever hear, though.

2 individual scars about 1.5-2.5 inches long and about a half inch apart, parrallel, from running into a desk corner when i was 14.
A scar about 1.5 inches long, a hairs distance from the major blood vessels in my right wrist from putting my hand through a window pane as i was trying to close the door it was part of
A small circular scar the size of a computer case screw from a chunk of fles that disapeared from my right thumb.

I got a capilliary hemangioma (big red welt) on my left temple from where I hit my head.  Also got a small gash from where my cat got me a year back.

Re: Anyone got good scars?
I've got a 1.5 inch scar from when I was power washing our front steps...  I turned and stood next to the washer and my leg hit the muffler (the thing had been running for 45 minutes, so it was REALLY hot... also, i had shorts on)
I have a slightly visible scar on my left thunb area from when our cat got scared and attacked when i tried to calm him down...
This doesnt exactly qualify as a scar, but my hands (yes, both of them) have calluses from playing drums so much...  I have about 2 on each finger, excluding my left middle finger.... You know, I await the day when a girl says my hand doesnt feel good casue it has so many callusess on it....  lololol
Well what do I do now?  Well Jack, you seem to have an act for blowing things up....
