Holy Christ, the train is like $100 EACH WAY.

Beatrap: I ONLY get hurt at rock shows. I got headbutted hard enough that I saw stars during...oh, I forget which set. About two weeks ago, anyway. No bruise but was sore for a couple of days.

i don't think i could ever hit someone.

― Mr. Que, Monday, 9 April 2007 19:02 (seventeen years ago) link

i did it by sort of by accident but the guy was kind of a douchebag so everyone was pretty happy i did it and gave me the game ball. sorry to bring up some other awful not at all funny story by association.

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Monday, 9 April 2007 19:02 (seventeen years ago) link

i have not been punched in the face (literally) since i was 25 although i thought i was going to get into a fight two times with the same dude on wednesday night. i later found out he really wanted me to hit him because he really wanted to hit me but didn't want to look like a dick for punching me.

― chicago kevin, Monday, 9 April 2007 19:02 (seventeen years ago) link

No one's ever been able to land a punch on my face! This is why I am so lovely now ^_^

― HI DERE, Monday, 9 April 2007 19:03 (seventeen years ago) link

(what happened in my story: i hit ball pretty far, douchebag said some snide remark at me and i kind of turned to say something nasty back to him WHILE IN PROCESS OF LETTING GO OF BAT TO GO RUN which was really dumb of me and the bat went flying and beaned him in the leg, the umpire declared i did it on purpose and i was banned from corporate softball for life though i'm sure they've forgotten by now)

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Monday, 9 April 2007 19:03 (seventeen years ago) link

my old gf punched me in the face once.

other times:
mugger in bklyn
drunk at party

none of them are very funny stories :/

a kid tried to strangle me during kickball once

― ghost rider, Monday, 9 April 2007 19:04 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm not even getting into the things that happened to me once I started going to bars. (I did bite through my tongue at a show once, though.)

SECRET KUNG-FU DRINKING TRICK: If you're drunk enough, you can't even tell that you're getting hit until the next day.

beartrap: well, now my wackiness seems less funny.

― John Justen, Monday, 9 April 2007 19:04 (seventeen years ago) link

last time i got punched in the face: company xmas party at hotel in andover, ma breaks up around midnight. me and ceo roam the halls listening for a party to crash. we crash one, get thrown out, i get sucker punched and wake up the next day still in my suit with my shirt covered in blood and the pillowcase dried to my face.

― chicago kevin, Monday, 9 April 2007 19:04 (seventeen years ago) link

lets talk about ducks now

― Mr. Que, Monday, 9 April 2007 19:05 (seventeen years ago) link

ceo went back to his room and hired escorts. true story.

― chicago kevin, Monday, 9 April 2007 19:05 (seventeen years ago) link

i guess the kickball one's kinda funny because little kids hurting each other is usually funny

― ghost rider, Monday, 9 April 2007 19:05 (seventeen years ago) link

John's got a divot in his chest from where he got hit with a bat! (I don't know if he has any divots from getting hit by a van.)

SNAP: WOW I TRIED TO STRANGLE A KID DURING KICKBALL ONCE, SYNERGY

― HI DERE, Monday, 9 April 2007 19:05 (seventeen years ago) link

i totally punched a duck once

― ghost rider, Monday, 9 April 2007 19:05 (seventeen years ago) link

xpost.

― chicago kevin, Monday, 9 April 2007 19:05 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah little kids brawling is funny, most of the time

― Mr. Que, Monday, 9 April 2007 19:05 (seventeen years ago) link

i will say this: my weekend was worth it for thsi alone:

so on st paddy's day my friend c___ and i are on the way home from the bar. we live about two blocks away, and parted at the natural place. i went home, smoked a marijuana cigarette, and watched most of a terrible movie (Man of the Year, wtf), ignorant of what was happening about two hundred yards away: c___ pooping on his own front lawn.

apparently, he'd been carrying a charge with him for the entire walk home (about 15 minutes) and was ready to go as soon as he got home. he had, however, forgotten his keys in our friend's car. when the pump is all primed up like that, it's pretty much impossible to dial it back. especially since yr body has performed this transaction literally thousands of times, and has no reason to expect that it shouldn't go off without a hitch. desperate, he climbed his balcony and tried to credit card his door. this didn't work, so he climbed back down, retreated to the darkest corner of his yard, and dumped. then he called our friend k___(at 3am) to let them know about the keys (but not about the poopy).

SO MANY BEARTRAPS AND YES JAYMC IT WAS GOOD OLD B AND HER TWIN SISTER L3GGY THAT HAVE HAD THE SHARK'S SHARE OF ME FACE PUNCHING

why he didn't just come over to my house remains a mystery to this day (though I SUSPECT booze had something to do with it)

― river wolf, Monday, 9 April 2007 19:06 (seventeen years ago) link

dude seriously? shut up.

― Mr. Que, Monday, 9 April 2007 19:07 (seventeen years ago) link

― Mr. Que, Monday, 9 April 2007 19:07 (seventeen years ago) link

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Monday, 9 April 2007 19:07 (seventeen years ago) link

Squirrel Patrol. So this is what the Capitol Police do when the halls of Congress have emptied for recess. Maybe the cops can’t play solitaire on their computers and take long lunches like the rest of Capitol Hill’s denizens. But they can tend to the urgent security threat presented by ... squirrels.

Last week, an address went out over the police radio system that “officers responding to the squirrel incident” were to come to the West Front of the Capitol. There, apparently, a nest of squirrels had fallen from a tree near the Grotto, leaving one dead and several injured.

Capitol Police arrived on the scene, and spokeswoman Sgt. Kimberly Schneider tells HOH that “the suggestion was to put the nest near the tree in the hopes that the mother squirrel and her young would return to it.” But that proposal was a no-go. “There were police around and she wouldn’t go back to the nest,” Schneider said.

And, sadly, the story has a tragic ending: according to the police account, by the time D.C. Animal Control arrived on the scene, all the squirrels were dead, she added.
