It looks and sounds like she popped her elbow at 2:38. It freaked me out a bit due to the pose, as my brain went, "AHHH, SHE'S GONNA SNAP HER ARM IN HALF." but it didn't happen. *phew*

Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.
You're on your own. And you know what you know.
And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go.

You'll look up and down streets. Look 'em over with care.
About some you will say, "I don't choose to go there."
With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet,
you're too smart to go down any not-so-good street.

And you may not find any
you'll want to go down.
In that case, of course,
you'll head straight out of town.

It's opener there
in the wide open air.

Out there things can happen
and frequently do
to people as brainy
and footsy as you.

And when things start to happen,
don't worry. Don't stew.
Just go right along.
You'll start happening too.

OH!
THE PLACES YOU'LL GO!

You'll be on your way up!
You'll be seeing great sights!
You'll join the high fliers
who soar to high heights.

You won't lag behind, because you'll have the speed.
You'll pass the whole gang and you'll soon take the lead.
Wherever you fly, you'll be the best of the best.
Wherever you go, you will top all the rest.

Except when you don't
Because, sometimes, you won't.

I'm sorry to say so
but, sadly, it's true
and Hang-ups
can happen to you.

You can get all hung up
in a prickle-ly perch.
And your gang will fly on.
You'll be left in a Lurch.

You'll come down from the Lurch
with an unpleasant bump.
And the chances are, then,
that you'll be in a Slump.

And when you're in a Slump,
you're not in for much fun.
Un-slumping yourself
is not easily done.

You will come to a place where the streets are not marked.
Some windows are lighted. But mostly they're darked.
A place you could sprain both your elbow and chin!
Do you dare to stay out? Do you dare to go in?
How much can you lose? How much can you win?

And IF you go in, should you turn left or right...
or right-and-three-quarters? Or, maybe, not quite?
Or go around back and sneak in from behind?
Simple it's not, I'm afraid you will find,
for a mind-maker-upper to make up his mind.

You can get so confused
that you'll start in to race
down long wiggled roads at a break-necking pace
and grind on for miles across weirdish wild space,
headed, I fear, toward a most useless place.
The Waiting Place...

...for people just waiting.
Waiting for a train to go
or a bus to come, or a plane to go
or the mail to come, or the rain to go
or the phone to ring, or the snow to snow
or waiting around for a Yes or a No
or waiting for their hair to grow.
Everyone is just waiting.

Waiting for the fish to bite
or waiting for wind to fly a kite
or waiting around for Friday night
or waiting, perhaps, for their Uncle Jake
or a pot to boil, or a Better Break
or a string of pearls, or a pair of pants
or a wig with curls, or Another Chance.
Everyone is just waiting.

NO!
That's not for you!

Somehow you'll escape
all that waiting and staying.
You'll find the bright places
where Boom Bands are playing.

With banner flip-flapping,
once more you'll ride high!
Ready for anything under the sky.
Ready because you're that kind of a guy!

Oh, the places you'll go! There is fun to be done!
There are points to be scored. there are games to be won.
And the magical things you can do with that ball
will make you the winning-est winner of all.
Fame! You'll be famous as famous can be,
with the whole wide world watching you win on TV.

Except when they don't.
Because, sometimes, they won't.

I'm afraid that some times
you'll play lonely games too.
Games you can't win
'cause you'll play against you.

All Alone!
Whether you like it or not,
Alone will be something
you'll be quite a lot.

And when you're alone, there's a very good chance
you'll meet things that scare you right out of your pants.
There are some, down the road between hither and yon,
that can scare you so much you won't want to go on.

But on you will go
though the weather be foul
On you will go
though your enemies prowl
On you will go
though the Hakken-Kraks howl
Onward up many
a frightening creek,
though your arms may get sore
and your sneakers may leak.

On and on you will hike
and I know you'll hike far
and face up to your problems
whatever they are.

You'll get mixed up, of course,
as you already know.
You'll get mixed up
with many strange birds as you go.
So be sure when you step.
Step with care and great tact
and remember that Life's
a Great Balancing Act.
Just never forget to be dexterous and deft.
And never mix up your right foot with your left.

And will you succeed?
Yes! You will, indeed!
(98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed.)

KID, YOU'LL MOVE MOUNTAINS!

So...
be your name Buxbaum or Bixby or Bray
or Mordecai Ali Van Allen O'Shea,
you're off to Great Places!
Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting.
So...get on your way!

it was such fun.

PARTY PARTY PARTY HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

let's share new years eve stories

we had a party.
a young woman slipped over on broken glass and cut her elbow severely enough that she bled all over our house and needed an ambulance. DRAMA!
i tried fire poi for the first time in about 7 years and burnt my hair but it was awesome.
and on the stroke of midnight we had an impromptu dance party in my room.

actually, i think i just had the best new years i've had in a long time.

The biggest elbow from the sky comes and crushes you. Me likey.

The rest is a bit painful to make jokes about.

I just watch climbing videos over and over while I wait for my elbows to heal.


MMMM vitamin I (ibuprofen).

Frequently:
Toes, fingers, wrists, elbows.

Less frequently:
Arch of foot, ankle, knee, hip, spine

Rarely:
Sternum, shoulder (both usually hurt for a minute when they do decide to pop)

if there's a joint, it'll crack.

i guess the weirdest places i can crack would be clavicles (mostly the right one) right posterior ribs .. probably the 7th, 8th and 9th ribs, sacrum (often, mostly right side) right side of my jaw, right elbow... oh and my wrists tend to crack hugely at about noon every work day.

i think my sternum cracked the other day for the fist time. i don't think that's supposed to happen. and it stinkin hurt.

More than a couple times a day: Two joints in each finger and thumb, toes, ankles, wrists, neck, elbows

Once or twice a day or so: A spot in my upper back, a couple spots in my lower back, hips

Less often: Shoulders, collar bone, knees

all toes and fingers
ankles
neck (rarely)
back
tailbone area
wrist
elbows (rarely)

Other people's kneecap.

*flexes epeen*



But seriously, elbows (always), hands (often), toes (often), neck (sometimes), shoulders (sometimes), back (rarely).

He's funny, but I have a feeling if it were good they wouldn't be door to dooring it. Elbow grease is the catalyst there.

Door to door salesmen are like trolls, you don't want to feed them or they keep coming back. Massive resurgence of them these last two years, most don't bother knocking anymore.

i have a permanent lifetime elbow injury from quake-2 multiplayer

20 injured means nothing. What were the injuries? Who treated them? Scraped on the elbow and now you're injured? Who knows. Likely means 20 people had pepper spray land on them and now they are injured, which is a joke. I've been pepper sprayed directly in the eyes and while it sucks, it does not constitute an "injury". I also guarantee the police told them exactly what would happen if they continued to refuse to leave the area and even if they didn't, they would have to all be retarded to not know.


>> ^oritteropo:

There was reportedly one person hospitalised, and 20 injured, out of only 100 protesters who remained after being advised that the protest was unlawful and that they should move along. I doubt they were told about the 400 riot police who were going to beat them up otherwise, but it's kinda implied after the last few similar episodes.
