Damn Lonnie, you did a good job. The tooth part is really shit. I fuckin hate dentists.
That lip of yours will scar up nicely. I have one in exactly the same spot from faceplanting when I was drunk at a camping trip. Still have the scar there somewhere and that was about 8years ago.
Question is, is that the story you tell to the local ladies or is it a case of “shoulda seen the other lad”…?

Hope it heals up fast. And yes as I’ve proven dozens of times… stupid really hurts.
You could come home from your day job splitting atoms for 8 hours and be stupid for like 5 minutes and it will get you every time.

Damn! Hope it gets better soon!
Ouch! Sorry to see that.
But… Those pins- They have a hole through the other (tapered) end for a cotter pin, right?
If they do, it would be a good set up with a washer over the far end and a cotter pin to retain it. Very versatile.
Confession: My biggest fear (weight lifting related) is hyper-extending my knees on lockout of a leg press and just snapping my shit up. (Realizing that, for the most part, it is not something I should really be worried about.)
Also: I absolutely hate it when all of my non-gym going friends/acquaintances tag me in the “Gym Fail” videos, shit makes me cringe.

Stop doing DL leg press with 10 plates per side! Single-leg is the way to go if you’re going to use that machine.
My best warm-ups and low intensity cardio sessions are done while mindlessly reading these forums. Time flies!
Here’s my gym related fear: taking off my sweatpants on a day that I didn’t wear shorts underneath. I always double check.

They don’t and they slide out pretty easily (I’ve got a similar setup).
Yeah they have a little pressure nib on the end. Requires a few pounds of force to pull through, but a 3 year old could do it im sure.

I forgot about those! I should have made my intention to go for the gold known to the governing board!
God I was so mad at myself when it happened, and the main thing was “I’m going to have this big mark right in the middle of my face the rest of my life to remind how stupid that was”, luckily it seems like its going to be very minimal
I still have to iron out those details. I’m narrowing it down to saving a puppy/kitten/baby from a burning building and defending a handicapped, trans gendered, non-gmo PETA activists from the patriarchy.
Exactly… And I’m sure you can guess which one my wife will choose to focus on and bring up in a few years;-)

I’ve already told this joke, in this very thread I think but it’s still a favorite of mine.
Guy goes to a bar and sees a man looking miserable by himself. He asks what’s wrong, and the guy goes “Ya know, for 30 years, I built bridges for this community, but nobody calls me Jim the bridge builder. For 20 years, I’ve been volunteering at the soup kitchen, but no one calls me Jim the volunteer. But man, I swear, you f**k just ONE sheep…”

It isn’t uncommon for me to be driving to work and having to double check I’m wearing pants.

I have done that before during squats, didnt even realize I wasnt wearing shorts till I was already under the bar and walking out. Was at the gym I work at too, so that made it even better

I typically wear compression shorts or boxer briefs that could pass for shorts. I’d just pretend I was a track athlete and rock it (they only wear spandex)!

Yeah mine were black compression shorts, but they werent that long so it looked like I was just wearing some booty shorts at best. I got a fat ass, so people would have been snapping necks if I kept like that. Definite safety violation.
