diamondman

on a scale of 1 to 10 what is the worst? u have done . I was just cooking some chicken strips and caught my arm on fire , I would say 1 st to 2nd degree burnt. but what really irks me is that my jacket caught on fire and burnt. so in ending I would rate this as a 6.35 , and my arm hurts!!! please share your burning experiences . LMK thanks in advance

i didnt really catch on fire, but as a kid i got ahold of a can of black powder and blew up my face..

we poured a little black powder into an empty aspirin bottle, and had a fuse we were gonna light it with.. however, the fuse wouldnt stay lit.. so my dumbass decides to let a bunch of lighter-gas in the bottle (have you ever seen someone let the lighter fumes into their hand and then light it? it stays burning until they open their hand) -- thats what i decided to do with the aspirin bottle.. the bottle was sitting on the driveway, i bent my head right over it and let the fumes into it with the black powder, then struck the lighter.. immediately i realized how much that idea sucked..

i couldnt see crap, i told my cousin to get me some water, and he goes and gets some high powered water hose and turns it full blast on my face, which also sucked..

i had little black pebbles embedded in my face for months.. i told my mom it was pieces of tree bark because i said i fell out of a tree and hit branches with my face on the way down.. i dont know if she believed me or not, but whatever, for some reason i didnt want to tell her i exploded black powder on my face.

When I was a kid my parents were having some work done to their house. One of the carpenters came to work all hung over and cut four of his fingers off with a table saw. I had to help my mom put his fingers in a bag of ice and drive him to the ER. Those images will always be in the back of my mind.

Around 1998, I broke up with Sabrina on New Years eve. It was a cold and stormy night. I fell asleep next to my space heater and second degree burns followed. Good thing I was drumk or it would have hurt.

I was camping with friends one night and my Fraternity Brother, in a drunken state, took a solo cup full of petrol and poured it on the fire...he didn't take into account that the fire would chase up the stream of gasoline and, seeing the fire moving upward, he got scared and jerked the cup away from the flame. The problem? In the process he poured the remaining gasoline on top of his head and down his back...he lit up like burning man...it was amazing...he tried to run, but we tackled him and put him out...he was missing a lot of hair, but his burns were minor. At that point it was okay to laugh and I still do everytime I think about it.

metalmike

my encounters with Sabrina were like that- I have to laugh when I think how I ate her

A friend of mine was duck hunting when he was drunk. When a flock of ducks flew overhead, he drew the shotgun from his opposite side and boom... he blew his whole forearm off.

He gets a 10.

This is out of the "Stupid things horny young men do" file. When I was around 14 I was in a dark room with a young lady and for giggles decided to see what color her underwear were, so I lit a bic lighter and proceeded to look down the back of her shorts and in the process burnt off all the hair on the front of my head. I didn't feel cool anymore but she stuck around at least.

10 hands down, married my soon to be ex-wife!!!! She took my kids, all my money, my car, my dog, my cat. She did leave me with my house which I can no longer afford and can't sell. I still have my health and job and will have to start over.

Mines pretty unique.I was doing a cement job on a friends sidewalk with out wearing my knee pads and the moisture soaked through the knees and I developed 2nd degree burns.My dad probably called me a Dumb A.. from his grave when he seen this because he was a professional cement finisher.

I would say the worst have I have ever done to myself happened in April of this year in good ole Hollywood. While working on a movie set I was getting ready to use a belt sander and picked it up and accidentally hit the trigger with one of my fingers on my right hand.....Well in a brief second or less I heard a thump and realized my left thumb was in the sander and I pulled it out.....Blood everywhere. My partner grabbed me and wrapped my hand with a clean painters cloth and walked me over to the studio nurse. When I got to the Dr's office the nurse unwrapped my hand and said the Dr will have to look at it because there wasn't anything to sew up. That got me worried to say the least. Because it was a belt sander with 36 grit paper, I lost the top of my thumb and had to have a matix graft surgery the following week. My surgeon explained to me that I no longer had a nail and it would never grow back because I lost the matrix, nail bed and lots of important tissue and that he could replace it with a matrix graft from my left toe. When I was in the hospital getting ready for surgery the nurses and the anethesiaologist said they were excited about my surgery because they had never seen a matrix graft before....I said I was glad to make their day..lol

The injury put me out of work for over 2 months and I'm still having problems with the ole thumb. I had one of the best hand surgeons in LA, but I have a appointment next month to seek an opinion from another surgeon what I should do next with my thumb....another surgury or???

All in all, I'm very lucky as I work with lots of guys missing fingers and tips and I have worked with a guy who has a big toe for a thumb.

Being that I drove a professional drag car for years and that I worked with lots of automotive machinery for 15 years and carpentry machinery for the last 5 years, this was my first serious injury. Our Lord has certainly looked over me .

On my bday, there were so many joke candles, I had to get right into it to blow them all out. I lost all my facial hair and had to pencil in eyebrows for a job interview the next morning.

I think alot of guys here will remember, especially Randy. I cut the end of my finger 99% off with a hedge trimmer. I was trimming a Ligustrum hedge and there was a metal light pole in the middle of the hedge. I was leaning in, trimming close to the pole, so I was off balance and the teeth hit the pole. The trimmers torqued out of my hands, flipped over in mid air and came down on my hand before I coud move it out of the way.

It completely severed the bone and was only held on by a small patch of skin. It was just dangling there, hanging to the left...lol

Funny thing is, it didn't really hurt due to the severity of the injury . I had surgeory to reattach the finger and everything is great now. The only hangover from the incident is a lack of feeling in half my finger tip and a scar. It's fine by me though. At least I still have a finger tip.

I like to gross Tonya out with it sometimes. I rub it on her and she always says something like "get that freaky finger off me"

Here are some pics enjoy your breakfasts everyone

Here is the pin stuck through my finger tip, though the bone to aid in the mending of the break




On the couch after the incident. At least I had my left hand to operate the remote By the way , try wiping or doing other things with your left hand after always doing it right handed. Man, that was tough!




All healed up!

Randy,

I've told you before, but I'll say it again: I appreciate what you've done for our Country.

I also appreciate your present day antics and willingness to share them!

How about one that doesn't involve an injury?

I married an Aussie who was working in the US at the time. We meet her mom and aunt in SF and then flew to Vegas to get hitched, then I spent the next 2 weeks of my honeymoon traveling the US and Bermuda with the mother in law, the aunt and the bride, yeah me!

Talking about fires, I was screwing around with Tommie O'Leary and Louie Cohn back in October of '71. We were hanging out in Tommie's parents barn on DeKoven Street, smoking cigarettes, cracking jokes about the bloomers one of the ladies was wearing and shooting some dice. I think I took Louie for about a buck and two bits before he got all in a huff and flicked his cigarette into a bale of hay and said, "If you'ze can put that out, you'ze can have yer money."

Well, it wasn't long before the hay went up and the entire barn was nearly engulfed. Tommie's mom, Catherine, came running out and asked what happened. We blamed it on the cow...

A good-sized pile of gun powder was created in a friend's garage. We all took turns flicking matches at the mound from afar. Oh, yeah, we were about 33 at the time. My buddy walks right up to the powder, and from about three inches away, drops the match and creates a huge explosion. Ignites his whole damn face. You ever see those old Road Runner or Tom and Jerry cartoons? About the funniest thing I ever saw in my life. Kid had a completely black face (he was/is a Caucasian boy) and zero skin on his forehead. Looked like a couple pounds of hamburger.

We also used to take my dad's Brut roll-on deodorant and write curse words on cardboard boxes in the aforementioned garage. We'd then set fire to the vulgarities with a Bic lighter ... Flaming Swear Words! Cooler than hell. Definitely recommend this activity to all.

This was before I learned how to pull the goalie.

Happened last winter. I was doing bench press on a fitness ball and the ball popped on me. As a result I dislocated my wrist and tore ligaments. I then had reconstructive surgery to fix my wrist. I was more worried about my wife's response than the wrist pain.
Probably a solid 7.5 when it happened.

About a month before that I had an infection in the lining around my lungs (Pleurisy SP?)-worst pain I have ever felt. I actually missed the NFC Championship game b/c I had to go to the E.R. for it and they didn't have T.V. in my room.
