Well, it’s official.

As Dok can attest, that right there is a completely torn supraspinatus with a burst bursa sac & dipped deltoid. In normal English, it’s a fully torn rotator cuff that will require surgery. The tendon has been ripped from the bone.

I could have avoided all this had I actually decided to ride into the person who stepped in front of me while looking at her phone. Chances were I likely would have broken something on her, but just as she chose to walk away from my accident I could have ridden away from hers. The smart move, at least, was to not swerve into the driving lane & cause greater chaos and possible end-of-life due to the size of the vehicle passing me at the time.

So now it’s on to physio in advance of my surgical date. Rumours are that I won’t have to wait too long, as COVID panic means lots of people are putting off their elective surgeries to avoid being trapped in a disease-factory of a hospital. Also, the type of injury puts me at a higher priority because it’s not an “elective” procedure, like hip replacement or tumor removal. An arm is considered a vital segment for day-to-day operations, so it’s seen as more significant.

And in the interim, there’s always self-medication.

I guess my Blue Jays call-up will have to wait.

It’s not like they could do any worse.

Met my new neighbor tonight. He seemed okay except he was wearing a Crossfit t-shirt.

Well, if you have to move some tires.

At least that saved him the trouble of talking about crossfit….

anyone watching this celtics game?

Mr. Ayo

Barely. It’s a 3rd screen with no sound. Was there an egregious flop?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I was. I’m so broken. When their lead got to 20 in the fourth quarter I was certain they were gonna fuck it up. And they almost did!

Have you never seen ice girls? Or any random hockey player’s significant other? Or Carrie Underwood? Or Kathryn Tappen? Or Elisha Cuthbert?

My friend, you are logged on to the wrong internet.

Hot DFO Fans is very popular on both though. Thanks Brick!

Didn’t think the kid with ADHD was going to make it through a 3 hour movie. Now it’s time to jump into Lovecraft County and holy shit, they just dive right into the monsters.

Mr. Ayo

How will BAHSTAWN blow this game?

herodotus450

At this point Tampa should just take a page from the Panguins playbook and try to start as many fights as possible and injure as many Stars in the process.

yeah right

I’ve got it. The reserve price for an unopened pack of Pokemon cards is 100 bucks. We’re going to open just 1 pack, sell the contents and I’m going to pay for any variance in the reserve price.

I’m going to call out the cards as we unveil them.

herodotus450

Hwoo-dobin gonna get a lot of credit for this game but I think he’s been awfully lucky…

Middle Earth protip for Gratliff: Gandalf is a Maiar, simlar to Sauron. But Sauron’s master Melkor was a more powerful Ainur

Melkor was my favorite Chrono Trigger guru

FFS he just did the one does not simply line and now all I’m hearing about is all the memes he recognizes from the movie. Children were a mistake.

Has Liv Tyler been in one watchable thing since Return of the King?

Gratliff

Well she’s mostly speaking in a fake language, so that helps

Mr. Ayo

The less she’s in, the more watchable she is.

King Hippo

Go watch “The Leftovers” stat

herodotus450

Peephole camera operators everywhere are raging at this question.

Unsurprised

The Leftovers. Listen to Hippo.

Gratliff

It’s weird how the digital backgrounds that seemed impossibly realistic when this movie first came out are now laughably bad. It’s weird how we adjust to the quality over the years and everything starts to look terrible, except Jurassic Park. They really nailed that shit.

King Hippo

all that moneys they saved on dialogue and C-list actors (except Newman, obvs)

I recently rewatched the triology over a rainy weekend, (back when we have rainy weekends), and, yeah, a lot of the CGI doesn’t quite stand up today.

King Hippo

NC State has a Black Power uniform patch. This really is a strange timeline.

/getting ready to blow a 14-point lead home to Wake, which is MOAR what I have been conditioned to expect

Mr. Ayo

TWBS is laughing from the 2nd ring of hell

/Sings in ‘The Jeffersons’

Well he’s movin’ on up/to the 2nd ring/to a deeeluxe cell/not exactly in the sky

He’s movin’ on up/to the 2nd ring/Satan finally got sick/of his shit/on the 3rd ring

Mr. Ayo

Holy shit. Those assholes won that game?

Sharkbait

That sucks. Though at least with shoulder surgery you can still move around. The worst part (for me anyway) was sleeping with the sling on

King Hippo

Sleeping after neck surgery was a bitch, as I am a 100% “side” sleeper. But I really didn’t want my head to fall plum off.

Gratliff

Welp, came back from the store and the boy has the first Lord of the Rings movie on, so I guess we’re doing this shit now

Gratliff

I’m getting asked endless questions about Middle Earth that I don’t have an answer to. My favorite Tolkien property was Shadow of War, followed by the 70’s cartoon. I didn’t even watch the Hobbit cash grab trilogy.

Fronkenshteen

The 9/11 episode of the Howard Stern Show is back on YouTube, if you’d like to go back down that hole.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I feel like the proper expression here would be “to ride that Sybian again.”

herodotus450

When Stern does it it’s called “nationwide radio star” but when I suggest women I don’t know hop on my robotic dildo it’s called “assault” and ‘harassment” smhdgdh

Fronkenshteen

Sometimes, NOT ALL THE TIMES, but SOMEtimes…the wife is just being a cunt. This is one of those times.

Mr. Ayo

If she happens to see this, it was nice knowing you.

Fronkenshteen

No doorknobs jiggling behind me yet. I think I’m right. Which means nothing. Shit.

So they say that having too much sex can cause memory loss, which is just a little something I seem to remember reading in a Rolling Stone magazine once on Page 64 Paragraphs 3 through 5 while sitting on a park bench on October 14, 2002 at 3:46 PM

Mr. Ayo

Wait, which shoulder? Is your stranger technique getting better?

Gumbygirl

That sucks Rob. Hope you get surgery soon, and recover quickly and completely.

Seconded.

What’s all this about a blown out shoulder requiring surgery and sustained due to the negligence of another and you haven’t consulted with any of, (counts on fingers and toes), whatever, a lot of attorneys on here? What are you, Canadian!?

The problem is that at least on our side of the pond, avoiding such mishaps is on the biker and not the clueless shit (as long as it’s on a sidewalk, bike path). I am (thank Gamblor, Darth Hoodie and the three Amigos) not a lawyer, so I may be up to 250% wrong.

That said, that woman should’ve at least stuck around, so I hope she gets properly Karma’d. Also, I wanna wish rob a speedy recovery (an’ relationship status permitting) a pair of really hawt and kinky nurses

ArmedandHammered

If he is happily married, may the hot and kinky nurses get REALLY into each other and let him watch.
