― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 10 January 2005 02:30 (nineteen years ago) link

Hey, Chris! Hope you get well soon. (If you have to do physical therapy for your knees, it will be a pain, but according to my sister's husband it's best to go through with it.)

― youn, Monday, 10 January 2005 02:34 (nineteen years ago) link

how awful, Chris. hope everything heals soon.

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Monday, 10 January 2005 05:16 (nineteen years ago) link

SUVs should only be allowed in accidents with each other.

I had a similar scary-as-fuck experience a few weeks ago, though not with an SUV. I wasn't hurt, but I was run off the road, doing about 75, and into a concrete barrier on the highway, I spun around, went up on two wheels, and smashed into the barrier again. Fucking intense. Glad we're both ok.

― Hurting (Hurting), Monday, 10 January 2005 05:21 (nineteen years ago) link

dude, l hear new jack slow jams help speed along the recovery process! get better soon!

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Monday, 10 January 2005 08:54 (nineteen years ago) link

More get well soon wishes from me too, Chris.

― C J (C J), Monday, 10 January 2005 09:08 (nineteen years ago) link

Get well soon, Chris, and enjoy the time off

remeber to suppliment any perscription pain killers with a heavy hydroponic intake. Welcome to three weeks of guilt free telly ogeling, enjoy it, and get well soon.

Damn sug, I hope you recover quickly! Much love from the Westsiiiide. xoxox

Best wishes.

Hurting, are you okay? Is that why you have that moniker? Sounds horrific :(

― Markelby (Mark C), Monday, 10 January 2005 11:36 (nineteen years ago) link

I called the Red Sox and they all want you to get well soon.

― aimurchie, Monday, 10 January 2005 11:44 (nineteen years ago) link

Chris, recover speedily!

If your knees don't work perhaps your nuts will become superballs to compensate?

― Markelby (Mark C), Monday, 10 January 2005 13:25 (nineteen years ago) link

GET WELL SOON, I think you need to drink to ease the pain.

― n/a (Nick A.), Monday, 10 January 2005 13:38 (nineteen years ago) link

Get well soon, dude.

― Huk-L, Monday, 10 January 2005 15:31 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm so sorry to hear about this, Chris. I almost didn't until I was emailed about it. Anyway, I'm so glad you are alive and didn't lose your sense of humor.

By the way, I bought the Sun album and I love it.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 10 January 2005 15:32 (nineteen years ago) link

heal up!

― LSTD (answer) (sexyDancer), Monday, 10 January 2005 15:37 (nineteen years ago) link

Get well soon! Sorry to hear about your multiple injuries but glad they aren't more serious.

― sgs (sgs), Monday, 10 January 2005 15:40 (nineteen years ago) link

I hope you feel better very soon, Chris. May the SUV owner eat a bag o dicks!

― Leon the Fatboy (Ex Leon), Monday, 10 January 2005 15:48 (nineteen years ago) link

UNLESS THEY'RE GAY

― Markelby (Mark C), Monday, 10 January 2005 15:49 (nineteen years ago) link

Well, they could be rotting and filthy dicks, and thus sorrow would still be paramount.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 10 January 2005 15:52 (nineteen years ago) link

Have a speedy & full recovery, Chris.

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Monday, 10 January 2005 15:55 (nineteen years ago) link

This is mostly unrelated, but Google image search for "SUV" came up with this image, maybe it'll cheer you up a bit:

Holy crap! At least you don't have to go to work, though. Make the most of it, I guess... Get well quickly but don't let the boss know, that sort of thing.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 10 January 2005 19:09 (nineteen years ago) link

Get well soon! Car accidents are so scary.

Yeepers. :-(

Please tell me a GIRDER didn't crash through the driver's side window, Chris?

(continued wellwishes from SW London, btw)

holy crap.

Yikes, Chris. It looks really cold in Massachussetts!

Looks pretty friggin bad to me.

― Je4nne ƒury (Jeanne Fury), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 18:40 (nineteen years ago) link

Yeah, joking (above) aside, that looks like a pretty bad impact.

lol thank you sufjan

it all still sucks but thank fucking christ that the insurance company will pay for everything

― marcos, Tuesday, 6 March 2018 15:49 (six years ago) link

great news on the insurance, glad you're OK also

― sleeve, Tuesday, 6 March 2018 16:29 (six years ago) link

I backed our truck out the other day and unwittingly almost hit our other car because I had stupidly parked it in a different part of the driveway. that would have been great, two for the price of one. it was so close, 2-3 inches.

― sleeve, Tuesday, 6 March 2018 16:30 (six years ago) link

Not me, but my cousin was t-boned today in downtown Cleveland by someone who ran a red light. According to her mom "{X} is good, headache, we are waiting to see if any scans of head are needed. Will probably need to bury the Toyota. {X} was hit and spun around so much her glasses flew off her face and thru the broken passenger window. Thank gosh she was on the passenger side and not the drivers."

car accidents are so terrifying

― marcos, Thursday, 8 March 2018 17:46 (six years ago) link

She's getting married this summer and I dread the thought of her dealing with lingering pain at her own wedding.

my wife grew up in L.A. and didn't drive around too much, but i grew up in the country and everyone i knew was driving around all the time. i knew 4 people in high school who were killed in car accidents and it was always some ridiculous stupidity late at night. driving 90 MPH down a stretch of road and losing control and hitting a tree and that sort of thing. my best friend in HS died that way. my other best friend, his just-ex GF died that way.

i sort of hate cars but where I'm at it's inescapable, and i think i've turned into such a Sunday driver, especially when I'm with my kid (as one should expect!) sometimes i get a tailgater when my kid's in the back and i tell him to raise his hands up high and wave them around so the person behind me actually knows there's a kid with me. surprisingly it mostly works. less surprisingly, sometimes it doesn't.

the worst time to drive in L.A. is after 11 PM and it gets worst throughout the night. drunk drivers own the road after 2 AM around here, even w/Uber and Lyft.

― omar little, Thursday, 8 March 2018 17:53 (six years ago) link

is it dumb for me to assume that a lot of uber/lyft drivers drive drunk

― brimstead, Thursday, 8 March 2018 17:56 (six years ago) link

none of the people I know who have driven have, but who knows

― mh, Thursday, 8 March 2018 18:22 (six years ago) link

stoned maybe

ha yup

― marcos, Thursday, 8 March 2018 18:28 (six years ago) link

also some irl experiences

― marcos, Thursday, 8 March 2018 18:28 (six years ago) link

i literally almost had another one on the way home.

Big assed semi starts to creep across to the median as I'm approaching in the left lane.

i am thinking there is no way he's going to try and pop in front of me as I would basically have to hard brake the tailgater behind me which would be a disaster in the making. so i kept going

fucker actually inches into my lane as I am approaching the same area.... like he thought I was going to stop for him. then he stops. i stupidly reflexively started to move to the right lane before seeing there was someone in it.

swerved back and was fine. and dumb semi driver then reversedhis truck back into the gas station in
