Of course, Za Gaff. And I look like Hunter when I ride NJ Transit (the bus, the train, the way to go...) Not because I'm tripping testicles, but because you just can't believe the characters on a NJ Transit bus, especially those that run directly or indirectly to the drug lands. Why, last month, I was staring like that at some obese girl, dressed in a halter top, who proclaimed to the world all of the diseases she had, and all the drugs she was on (prescribed and other). She knew every friggin person that came on the bus. They say the world is a stage. Well for that gal a NJ TRANSIT bus was her stage, and we were all just captive observers.
Don’t really have any diseases (that I know of), but have had plenty of injuries over the years of my life. -Fell when I was a kid, bit threw the bottom portion of my lip, have cool scar on both sides -Various scars and scrapes n all from being a knuckle head growing up -Broke both wrists at the same time trying to pull some crazy type of flip skating on a 14 foot vert ramp when I was like 11 or 12 years old -Broke a part of my left elbow off and it spun out of place, had a cast with 2 pins holding that elbow chunk in place for 3 months to heal -Broke my fibula in two longboarding, had to be put back in place with a plate and 6 screws to heal. Never healed straight, it’s at an angle now and ended up having surgery two years after the first surgery to have the hardware removed since two screws were hitting nerve endings are hurt. I kept the hardware, it’s sitting on my desk at home still -Went down on my sport bike. Had fresh tires, going way too fast on a back windy road that had gravel all over the place and the back tire kicked out on me and I slide like 200 yards down the shoulder without a jacket. Got road rash all over my back but I didn’t even care about that, I tore my left quadricep above my knee and the muscle was ripped beneath my kneecap and it was exposed. That was the freakiest accident I’ve had, got infected too and was on a lot of antibiotics for around 2 months, was really freaked out I might have to get it amputated. -Have a couple herniated discs in my back/neck from who the hell knows what -And the latest two that come to mind, I got skegged two weekends ago on my left forearm, if I hadn’t have had my wetsuit on I’d probably have like 20 stitches from my elbow to my wrist, and only have a little nick in my suit, was surprised when I saw my arm an hour later when I was getting changed in the parking lot. And on Saturday morning I got a floater on my first wave of my second session and my board came down on my head after I imploded on the landing. Fin clonked me and left a looney toons lump and was gushing blood. I surfed another wave in (after freaking some dude out cus he saw the blood running down my face cus of the water) checked it out and it was a small gash I filled with liquid bandage, then paddled back out. I am a walking fcking accident constantly happening, and truly own up to the name “zombie surfer” I take pride in my walking broken meat and bonesack of a body, still kickin and still surfing! Disclaimer: I have toned down A LOT of the stupid sh!t I used to do, I do my best at taking only calculated risk now and avoid the unnecessary ones lol
That was a pretty good line, Metard. I see your powers include more than the pictures. Za Gaffer is so advanced he just absorbs knowledge from books by just looking at them. He may be from the planet Zeabalot, just like Marcus from Newbury Park, Ca. He was from Zeabolot. At least he said he was.......
I have eczema on my hands. It used to be alot worse when I bartended, hands always washing glasses. Its mostly cleared up now though I do have a flare up every now and again. Za Gaffer, hope you heal up fast! Sjb and Metard keep keeping it real yo
Same view I had when I broke my ankle years ago. Logged a lot of time in the La-Z-Boy reading and growing a beard.
Dunno if that's much safer, I was surfing in holgate at the wooden jetty on saturday morning and some a$$ clown from PA kept casting his line right into the impact zone and one guy got snagged on his line. One of the older dudes (alpha surfer type who was owning the peak and backsiding every left like it was child's play), got pissed and went in and had some words with him in the parking lot, if it weren't for another guy going in with him to play the good cop in the whole shenanigan the other guy probably would have knocked him out. That and with my crummy luck I'd probably hit myself in the back of the head with a lead sinker when I go to cast a line haha, no matter what I do I'll find a way to hurt myself lol. Kinda why I like surfing so much, cus as long as I can avoid my board (and others) along with not hitting the bottom I'm just going down in water, and I don't mind the turbulent wash cycle
That is quite the laundry list of injuries Zombie! Great outlook on it all. I had some pretty stupid non-surf related injuries, walking accident type stuff, the dumbest being taking a grinder w/ a wire brush attachment to the face b/c it was missing the little side handle. Had my safety glasses on though Good luck w/ the knee Gaff.
Haha thanks buddy, I try and stay optimistic and positive about everything and life in general nowadays. And luckily (knock on wood...) haven't had any power tool related injuries lol. Had a couple friends hurt themselves though, one almost cutting his index finger off on a table saw, another putting a nail through his foot with a nail gun (he regrets not wearing steel toe boots that day). But good call on the safety googles lol, they've saved my vision a few times as well haha
sat on the edge of my bed and had a long guitar shred sesh. When I stood up, my lower back was sore...been three days now and the muscles down there are still spasm-y and, if I bend the wrong way, it hurts. Looked it up and it's called "lumbago" or some sh!t...anyone else here had that? worried if I'll be able to pop up on my board...guess I'll find out in a couple days. Won't be sitting on the edge of a bad to play guitar anymore.
Yo, what kind of pills you got? Always say, "hydromorphone or oxymorphone please, I can't handle acetametaphine because of the beer I drink"( vics and percs no good for liver, especially liver drowned in beer) Hey, you need a home aid dude or something. One that speaks English fairly well.... Yeah, a female version would be nice, but that could lead to domestic problems. I come help you, mister. Si, Mr Gaffer, I buff pillows for you, and bring you food. Man, I am so jealous of people with high grade mother nature. Really, it drives me green with nuttiness. See how I played the word green as a nod to mother nature and the color of envy.... Wow, that was just fantastic. What am I doing wasting my days talking to DYFY's and Parole Board people with issues? I ain't changing anything. I come help Mr. Gaffer. Do I need a passport and visa to get into Cullyfornia?
You guys are F'n hilarious...Gaf I hope your J-Bay dreams come true and that the recovery time goes quick. Bill get out there and help him!
Well, I broke my finger surfing a month ago on a wipeout, so I tape it up reallygood like a catchers mitt, and can still surf if the waves aren't too huge or blown out. Haven't missed a sesh yet since the waves have been so small... When I went to the rude orthopedic doc, he walks into the room, no eye contact, no smile, no introduce himself and he I guess looked at my age on the chart, saw I was female, and says, "how'd it happen, roll over in bed wrong?" jerk So I said, "Yeah, while I was effing your younger brother" but I only said it in my mind. What a sexist and ageist jerk.
Yeah I know. I wanted to pick him up by the collar and throw him up against the wall. Ever the polite patient, I just said, "Do you get tired of looking at hands all day" and, since it was my F you finger, I just held it up to him...
