Christmas injuries (the funnier the better)

[Oakie]

So I was sitting at my PC half an hour ago doing KB stuff with my shirt off as it's been hot today. I had prepared one of the remaining festive fruit mince pie things (microwave 17 seconds) and took the first bite of the piping hot delicacy which promptly broke in half and released it's contents on my belly. The hot sticky sugary mess instantly stuck fast and started burning my pink belly which saw me running like a crazy man for the kitchen to splash cold water on my smouldering flabdominals.

Got me wondering if any of my two wheeled brethren had managed to injure themselves in an interesting or amusing manner while celebrating the festive season in this or previous years?

always blow on the pie. Safer communities working together.

Oakie, I'll let you know when I stop laughing - the mental imagery just gets worse and worse...

Thank God you were wearing pants

I burnt my finger toking hard on the roach of a skunky ass J laced with hash.

Popped over to Rotorua on 29th Dec for some mountain biking with friends. Headed over to the Redwoods in the afternoon, last trail of the day, Roadside Challenge, I go over a big jump, over a small jump, but too quickly, and land into the 2nd small jump. Bad landing, off the back of the bike, but holding the bars. Used the brakes to stop, however, I landed on the seat with my ribs, right in the centre of the cage, bending the seat rails and somehow putting a massive bruise on my inner thigh as well (that only showed up a few days later - but I did wonder why it hurt).

Badly winded I limped/walked off to the side to get my breath back, but knew what was going on as I'd winded myself before. Mate came back wondering where I'd go to. Next two days of mountain biking (and everything else) hurt and was tricky.

Still can't do everything, and being tall, I can't touch the ground by simply leaning over. Pain in the arse. Been trying for the last few days to take it easy so the ribs get better faster. Haven't bothered with A&E as it's not exactly like they can do anything about it.

Oh, so the next day I had to drop by a bike shop and buy another seat, although the sales guy pointed out it was probably a good thing the seat rails bent. On the 3rd day, I then scraped up the back of the seat trying a wheelie and went over backwards... Rotorua is hard on seats

it wasnt fuken funny, but i attempted some self mutilation with a timms trap.
Also managed to bite my tongue and lip in the same day. Coughing on the mean skunky bongs.

Fuck that, swallow the codeine! I find a dose of around 180-210mg to be the sweet spot for me when I have no tolerance. Codeine buzzes are awesome.

see gremz, ya got a customer already...

A&E would only confirm broken ribs and check you have not punctured a lung or any other organs that are vital for life. And they would put them back into place so they don't give you a lifetimes worth of pain. So no need really.....

Yes ive been there....

Same with me Alan On Christmas eve, tripped over the mat just inside our ranchslider and in trying to avoid squishing the grandkids scattered on the floor, landed awkwardly on the edge of the settee and felt a couple of ribs crack. Done it before falling off a mountain bike so knew I just had to avoid coughing and sneezing for a few days! Can still feel them, but not painful now

[Tazz]

Carpet burn on my face from some stupid game where you pick a box up off the floor without using your hands and then rip a piece off to make it smaller for the next person. Thought I could quickly grab it then front flip with it in my mouth. I doubt I could do that sober but it seemed like a piece of piss at the time haha

Last year I landed on my face trying to do a handstand into the caterpillar dance move thing and got cut in the same place.

Wonder if I can manage a trifecta next NYE

Burnt finger cooking the barbie at the Xmas work do, didn't hurt at the time maybe due to liberal application of medicinal ales.

Anyhoo index finger swelled up and got infected and painful when touched so bike riding was on hold until it healed, possibly due to constant application of said ales.

Geeze Oakie, you were lucky you had those "flabdominals" to catch the said burning substance otherwise you could have ended up with smouldering "unmentionables" which could have put paid to you sex life for the rest of your holidays.
