oooph... thats pretty bad. Reminds me of a large poison ivy blister I had on my shin as a kid.

That is gonna be a lot of nerve damage, but at least its not titled 'removal of necrotic fingers after frostbite'.

Always pointing out problems and hidden agendas. Never any solutions or objective observations.

Like everyone else, I see the world a certain way. It seems like I'm always argumentative and sometimes it's true, but if you're standing on a cliff's edge wearing wings carved from a styrofoam beer cooler and I say, 'I see the wings, but gravity will not go easier on you if you leap' am I "trolling"? Methinks NOT.

Others here said what I said in a different way: wind power is great in the rare places it can be harnessed, but overall the cost is too high for the output.

I can't please everyone, but know that it's nothing personal. My shins get kicked all the time around here. Expand your love to include love-to-hate

Neither, I just can't stand the fact that you talk out your ass all the time.

I'll grant that your puns can be pretty humorous tho.
[when not filled with blind prejudice and hate]

A guy once backed into my car and drove off. It's always annoying when people try to avoid justice like that, but they get scared and shocked and then they don't think. I found out who it was and sneaked up on him in the dead of night and injected him with sodium thiopental to knock him out. When he woke up, I had wrapped his car up in plastic wrap and tied him to the hood of the car. After showing him a picture of my beat up Geo, I proceeded to make a few incisions into his neck and bleed him dry. Once he slipped out of consciousness, I sawed off his feet right at the middle of the shin, then middle of the thigh. Luckily, there wasn't really much blood, since it was all drained out through his severed carotid artery. From there it was a easy task splitting the body into small parts that could fit in the nice garbage bag. The torso was the most difficult, since it's unwieldy, but you can essentially chop it into four cubes and then it's easy to deal with, just be careful not to spill guts or internal organs anywhere. The north sea has some nice currents that dragged the sunken bags out into the ocean really well. Good times.
I also started watching Dexter lately.

If I'm not mistaken, that's the same piece of shit Craftsman mulcher/bagger that my mom bought years ago right after I told her not to get a mulcher, a bagger or a Craftsman (and since I mowed the lawn for her most of the time, my opinion should have mattered).

If I'm right, there's nothing you can really do to keep that mower going except to mow twice a week. Anything taller than that and it stalls. The only other thing I ever came up with that worked was to prop the bag chute open with a stick. The problem with that is then the cuttings (and any rocks or sticks you pick up) are shot directly into your shins. Still, there were a couple times that I was willing to let it beat the hell out of my legs just so I could go farther than 10' without having to flip it over and unclog it.

I eventually "modified" the normal chute (with some twine, tin snips and pliers) to be larger and less obstructed. This worked reasonably well but you still weren't going to get away with mowing less than once a week.

Or: How to have a steel beam break your shin.

I know right? Yaaay for personal growth.

But yes, not too much else matters when you take a MuayThai shin [a.k.a baseball bat] straight to the forehead.

Race irrelevant.

bravo

It's been calculated that using his prosthetic legs he's measurably less efficient than the able-bodied athletes (doesn't feel right suggesting his body isn't able, but you know what I mean), since he doesn't have any of the calf, shin, or foot muscles contributing any force. Conclusively demonstrating this is how his team he won the court battle. I'm glad he had to go through a legal process, in a way, because all this suspicion has come up in court already, and people can point this out and say that it's clearly not cheating. He's just that good, and happens to have prosthetic legs. Rock on.

Most certainly not. Not in this particular case. The wall at the top of the building where the woman was sitting was pretty high, at least chest high for the cop, so he was never in any real danger.

Now, if the wall was shin high? Then yes, he could have easily fell over along with her.

Also, I love Lawdeedaw's definition of a hero. Someone's been watching too many Oprah reruns lately.

If this had happened at my school the big kid who stepped up at 0:27 would have kicked the shit out of the fat kid.

That bigger bully did actually follow Casey and my guess is that was exactly his intention. Still, even if big bully had kicked Casey's ass later, you can bet several other bullies are going to think twice before they give Casey any shit. Little bully may well have a severe fracture in his shin and possibly some damage to his teeth and/or nose.

Can't understand how he didn't break both his ankles at 1:11.

It's very difficult to break one's ankles in ski boots (though possible with soft or brittle boots).
From the looks of it, he hit the rock the heel area of this foot, which probably slammed his ass down onto the back of his skis. He may have an injured tailbone or lower back, but it's hard to tell from the camera angle.
A set of well-fitted ski boots is nearly like having a solid cast on the foot going up above the ankles. My boots would probably snap my shin bone before allowing any injury to my ankles or feet.


It's funny; I knew that but completely spaced it. Been doing a lot of cross country skiing lately and wasn't even thinking about downhill boots.

That play is the tennis equivalent of a European football player immediately hopping up and walking away from a near kick to the shin.

I think this was before he tried shin-shi shin-shi...

When I was young I didn't have any problems running...as I got older I got these awful shin splints and my knees started hurting a lot. Switched to training in Vibrams and those problems are a thing of the past...they just feel better to run in and they make my legs stronger.
