The caveat of having no arms and 3 fingers
 

So tonight I went to the grocery store with my roommate. I figured "what the hell...he pushed the cart through the store, I'll dump it in one of those dumbass cart corrals. Wrong move. As I'm pushing the damned thing (too fast, mind you) I lose judgement on it's center of gravity. I put too much of my own weight on the handle end and down I went. The results? I did a face plant (with nothing to really brace my fall on due to the lack of armage) and, after the handle smashed my middle finger into the pavement, it bounced back and smacked me in the face giving me cuts on my upper lips as well as a bloody nose. The nose and lip thing I can handle...but my middle finger has swelled beyond normal size and hurts like hell. Damn the fact that I only have 3 fingers per hand and damn the fact that I don't have any brace for my fall. Oh...and fuck the carts at Dillon's. This fucking sucks. I'm drunk and it still hurts.

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:

im crying thats so funny. hahahahahaha

sorry at your shitty luck :D:D:D

damn dude thats pretty unfortunate. I was working one day and I decided to bobsled a cart ( I was putting it back in the corral) and I guess I misjudged the weight and ended up flipping the damn thing over nearly onto me. :D

anywes hope your finger gets feeling better soon

that sucks dude.

Damn man...that is some shit.
I look a fall like that once when I was younger. Face plant right into the concrete.

Do you think your fingers broken?

Shit steve, i really hope your alright!!!
Sorry to hear about your shitty luck.

No...it's not. I can move it and still have feeling which sucks because all it feels is pain. Stupid fingers. Never did nothin' for nobody.

what ? i think my middle finger sends more messages than my own words

Not if you just start spewing random obscenities. Calling someone a "dick-ducking mothershitter" gets your point across just fine.

holy fuck steve, that sucks. Like people take their appendages for granted, i really couldn't imagine being in your scenario with the cart. I suppose it'd be like if i were in a straight jacket and just fell. Didn't know you had three fingers on top of having no arms (to add to the difficulty) that really blows man, but i salute you! It's amazing what you're capable of. Hope you face/finger heal.

My new and unimproved right hand. Notice one finger escapes totaly unscathed. Fuck irony.

Hey...thanks...ass.

And I know Will...I kick much ass. This is how I will rule the world someday. People will underestimate me...and then I will slaughter them. Nothing personal...they will be killed for the greater good...me.

So basically I've lost the use of my right hand. I can still type thanks to my one good finger, but everything else is shit. I figure eventually the nail will fall off on my middle finger and I'll be even more scrwed because my right hand/arm is dominant since I lack a scapula in my left arm which makes it useless for 95% of the things I do. Just in time for midterms too! May fate suck my cock.

sorry, i just had a mental picture of grizzlie adamns doing a face plant. couldnt help but laugh.

your hand looks fucked.

and doing no good for nobody...think of the last gurl you finger banged or the last time to beat off. i think they helped both of you. :D

:D

just think steve, george bush can't even run things right with ten fingers and you could rule the whole world with six ;)

Ya know what really pissed me off? There was a woman coming out of the store who saw th whole thing. She just walked right by me to her car as I was picking myself up off the ground. Then, as I was holding my hand and screaming while obviously bleeding, two more good sumaritans passed by and just kinda looked at me funny. Fucks.

Ive lost numerous nails in the past...it does suck.

and you know as they walked away the only reason they didn't help you is because you aren't "Normal"
you know what you need steve? for a spot in the high government of your ruling I will follow ya around brandishing a rifle/shotgun and take out whomever you want. be like you're personal hitman;)

looks like darin brown nosing it. can ya shove it up there farther darin....:D:D

hey ben i bet you ten bucks that darin can burry his head completley up steve's ass :yes:

Yeah...keep it up you two. None who oppose my reign will be spared. But alas brown nosing does not work on me...I've seen enough of them in my years working. But rest assured that when I rise to power those who voice any dissent will be fed to the ferrets. Why ferrets? Imagine how long it would take for a ferret to kill you. Man...even with 2 busted up fingers I kick ass.

hahaha EGO TRIP :D

think how long it would take a gerbil to eat someone....

Dude...I don't wanna hear you talking about your curiosity and gerbils.

bwhahah steve strikes back

Damn straight.

so you like darin shoving something up your butt huh?

Not sure where you got that idea...you're the one talking about gerbils. But then again...this is supposed to be about my fingers. So...in that case...:flick:

So just because I'm probably the only guy on the board with a beard, I'm Grizzly ADAMS (no "n" inserted)? Man...if my pictures before made me look scruffy, you'd tremble at the sight of me now.

I got a beard...

That sucks Steve....has it gotten any better?

Yeah...the finger I hurt the worst is starting to go back to original size...I think. My nose is still a little sore and my fingernail still hurts. It pisses me off...I was supposed to go home this weekend.

Yeah...shitty...I crushed one of my fingers at work about 4 months ago. It was bad enough to give the bone a hair line fracture and the nail still has not grown back all the way yet. Stuff like that sucks.

As for the people that just walked by you, FUCK them. They're just worthless pieces of shit taking up valueable oxygen that the rest of us truely need.

hey steve

i think i recall you mentioning before about the modifications you had done to the stang so you could drive it. Think you could give us any info/pics, i'm just curious to see how it all works if you don't mind.

I had pics...but I think I lost them in the reformat. I'll take more next time I'm in KC. Basically the steering device is just a floor-mounted disc with a shoe on it. There's a chain running from the disc up around the steering column and back (a lot like a bike chain). So...stick foot in shoe, move leg, turn wheel. Pull the shoe out and it can be driven normally. The rest of it is switches. There's a switch for the ignition (no key is needed), both windows, trunk/fuel door release, cruise control (which has since been disabled by yours truely), door locks, and headlights. That all belongs to a switch panel on the center console. It's a pretty sweet setup...but not $12K sweet.

Damn dude! That's messed up what happened and that no one even asked if you were alright. Hope everything heals fast and let me know if you'd like me to kiss your boo boo's. :kiss: ;)

Sorry to hear about that.


But in the pic it looks like your getting ready for a kkk rally.

:toofunny: It's just a white T-shirt. And it's actually short sleeved. Remember...short sleeve for you = long sleeve for me.

wow man I'd seriously love to see that setup too sounds fucking ingenius actually.

Man...I've seen these guys in their shop...this is nothing for them. They have a setup that connects a small wheel or joystick to a processor that sends commands to a motor which turns the steering wheel. The same system can also control brakes and all electrical equipment. That stuff goes for around $30K-$40K and they have an R&D shop across the street that's developing even more technology. You'd never know it to look at it...it's in a shitty little neighborhood in Indianapolis about 3 miles from the speedway. Then again...is there a neighborhood in Indianapolis that isn't shitty? Haha! I'll try to remember to get some pics soon.

sounds almost as cool as this car I saw that was rigged up completely to a remote control somewhere on the web.
but can you imagine how shitty it would be if the joystick decided to fuck up.:o

yeah but steve that must have been really nice for that place being so close to you. I mean yeah it's pricey, but you must love the feeling of driving and being able to overcome your disabilities and show it off to others. And then you can drive around and people will see the future president driving in his stang.;)
