Hockey puck hitting the wrist at about 85 mph from 15 feet..... I am surprised it is not broken because it feels that way...

Hope I did not offend you with this thread... Oh yea I did not.... In about 3 weeks this will hit post 500 and we will be well on our way to the longest thread in this site....

Hey! I'll have you know I am NEVER lonely. The voices in my head provide plenty of company!

On Sunday night I got hit by a puck in a location a little further south than the wrist

It wasn't doing 80kph or anything, but it was fast enough to put me on the bench for oh... 20 min

My first purchase Monday was a can.

Moose: Yup. Seen plenty, usually in the ditch. My dad hit one a few years ago, which is generally bad for the moose and the car/truck.

Seen a moose? Dad shot one of the damn things when I was a kid and we had to eat moose meat for almost a year. It is not that exciting a flavor and after the 100th meal in a row, you start getting really tired of it. Mom told him he could never shoot another one, so we got white tailed deer and grouse after that.

He also shot an elk once and when he was butchering it, he found a strange piece of scar tissue. He cut it open and discovered that years before he had shot it, someone else had shot it with a .22, a light caliber rifle than was too small to kill it. The bullet was still in the muscle, with a lot of scar tissue holding it in place.

Damn good thing this thread is off topic, I think even Tigga would have a hard time relating this post to SEIV.

Oh that's real nice...

If you want game or trophy, can't go wrong with Deer. Tastes... sorta like turkey-beef cross.

When you live in a place where there is really nothing to do but embrace the great outdoors, it's bound to come in to you sometime

La Belle Du Boston, many thanks indeed - I find a turgid sense of humour, along with the famous British stiff upper lip, is sometimes the only thing that gets us through adversity.

What really has hit the biscuit is that work have called me in this morning (it is 08.53 here in Manchester when THEY KNEW I only got back from Atlanta at 04.25 this morning) - I am so annoyed I have just typed up my resignation letter - all this angst for a lousy $50k a year and no bonus

I have found that a stiff upper lip isn't always what is called for but I see that you found your weapon and attacked with the mighty pen ... hope they are appropriately apologetic for being such louts as to have you show your "oh so happy to be here" face..for the $50k they so generously pay you for being an indentured servant.

I do tend to be a bit anti-establishment as of late... I apprecate a battle of wits but not with unarmed men.. which always leads me to speak with the janitor rather than the vice presidents.

Best of luck
