Well folks, my face has suffered another stroke of bad fortune. This will bring my list of facial scars to a grand total of five. (Not counting the small ones.) I shall now regale you with the list and how I achieved such a number.
Numer one and largest: A thin up side down seven on my left cheek, stretching from an inch below my eye to almost the corner of my mouth. How? As a child of ten or less, I was dragging on an innertube behind a tree my father was skidding with the tractor. Ya, I know, stupid. The tree twisted and the tip of a branch caught me. Just a small flesh wound, but it remains to this day.
Number two: Not sure where I got it, but it is on the left side of my forehead. About and inch wide.
Number three: Center of forhead, just below the hair line. Looks a lot like the previous one. Begotten out of teen stupidity I\'m afraid. Tried to do a backflip off a rock into the deep part of the river, but over-rotated and landed back where I started. Only feet up.
Number four: Junior High. Lets just say 130 lb me had a little...disagreement with a 300 lb bully named Whillie (insert whale jokes here). I had him beat until I figured he had enough and started to walk away. But, as allways, never turn your back on an enemy. Nose...meet brick wall, and five stitches. No bully ever bothered me again, however.
Number five: Last weekend. I was pounding a tree falling wedge into a huge maple I was cutting down. At the forth tap, the thing flew out of the cut and hit me nearly between the eyes. Not the largest scar I have, but I\'m sure I\'m stuck with it. Didn\'t swell up as much as the time my cousins horse stepped on my face at a dead gallop. Yes, you heard that right. ON...MY...FACE. And that was after I fell off my horse. I had a huge horseshoe shaped lump around my eye for more than a week. Luckly, I don\'t bruse easily. No scars from that either.
Well, thats my story. Now it\'s your turn. Give us your best scars- bruses- near death stories. I know I\'m not alone in this.

Woah, now thats manly :) That is if you are a guy....
#1. When i was like 3 I hit the corner of my coffee table and cut right above my eyelid. I still have a nice little scar right above the corner of my left eye till today. My face isn\'t where my pain storys come from though. My grandmasters of pain are my legs.
#2 On my right knee I have a big scar that will never go away since the cut,well, lets just say some of my meat got torn out :) This happend when I was playing football and I got tackled onto a sprikler in the grass that just poped out a peice of me :)
#3 I have been hit by a car once on foot while crossing the street and another time I was chacing somones car with my bike when the light turned red.. ya I hit it, hard.
#4 Split my head open when i slipped running around a pool
#5 Fell off a brach while climbing a tree and hit another brach on my way down...Aww that hurt a lot...
#6 I was riding my scooter down a hill really really fast (paved hill) when i had this idea to let go of the handels...yah, real smart... I fell on my head (no helmet) and skidded like 20 feet on my right arm until I came to a stop. After that I dragged myself with some help of two or three friends to a nearby friends house. I have like 4 scars on my right arm from that one.
#7 I was carving away at a peice of wood with my new knife when I slipped and sliced my finer open right on the join too. It left a wierd scar on my finger that wont go away...
#8 Played skin. This is where your friend tears away at your had with his nails until you do somthing of choice. Mine was to say a the alphabet with the begining letter of a word. (so like apple, bob, cat...) It seems easy till you lose your first layer of skin and you have somone ripping off the second as you go...
#9 I went mountain biking and, well, fell. And rolled. And it hurt and I bled... Not fun on a steep hill full of bushes...
#10 Ever dislocated your ankle?
#11 oh ya how could i forget. Another scooter related one. I was going down a street that was really steep. (i live in the mountains its always uphill or downhill around here) I hit a rock that was laying there which trough me sideways into the wheel of a parked car. I dont think I got any scars from thisone though. I think it looked pretty bad though because two cars nearby stopped and people came running to help me.. But,hey, I got balls :)
#12 I fell down a full fight of about 40 stairs at my old church when I was little.
#13 Fell off of my friends 2 story roof. I landed flat on my back so ther ewasn\'t much bleeding, just a horrable amount of pain....
That about sums up the big guys. Ill add more if i remember anymore...

man and i thought i was accident prone, Efflixi Aduro you have to be the most unlucky guy/gal(that is if you are) here.
lemme see ive got 2 on the back of my head thanks to gravity and thoese dammed cookies on that top shelf :P
1 on my chin when i decided that a chair was more fun when you balanced it on 2 legs (knocked my self out for a second)
2 3\" scars one on each leg when glass doors just dont open to speeding kids
one on my right arm when my sister assulted me with a frying pan when she decided that vengence was thicker than blood ( i got even by knocking out one of her teeth but thats so long ago)
then there was that time a 40 degree slop, bike add in a car that poped out of no where and we get me lying in the gutter with a bike ontop of me got me another one on my arm
i had 2 rods inserted into my right hand after a fall of some stairs but i dont think that counts.
-
you poor, poor people :) all I have is dog bite scars, all on my hands and legs, dog\'s don\'t seem to like me :D
-
God must hate you people...
My incidents (I don\'t scar easily):
1. I was around 4, and was fooling arond over at my grandpas farm (dacha) in Ukraine. In front of his gate he had gravel and sharp rocks... So, I was running around being a typical 4 year old idiot, when I triped and fell. Right now I have a scar about two inches bellow my right nipple (I\'m a guy... So don\'t get a chuby please :) ) which straches out another two or three inches. Unless I point it out to you, you probably won\'t notice, it\'s just a abnormaly white slight bump with small strechmarks (where the rock went in), and it has a thin line going down that eventualy fades out (where the rock performed \"surgery\" :) ).
2. I was running when I was probably 7, but there was a chainlink fence in my way. So, I decided to find out who\'s tougher. In one swift motion, I kick open the gate, and keep running. Unfornunatly the gate was on a spring, and it flew back at me before I ran through. I had a scar going from about an inch over my eye, into my hairline. But it went away.
3. When I was 6-8 (dont exactly remember), I learned the hard way that skydaving is not an indoor activity. I jumped on the bead, triped, and face first hit the knob of a cabinet. Almost lost an eye. But signs are no longer visible.
4-end. Other then that I have a long list of scars and permenent bruises. I don\'t know how I still have my knees intact, but it\'s a miracle that they are. I have a scar on the nuckle of my middle finger from when I was acting tough and punched a tree (the tree won). I have a mark on my pinkey from when I wanted to find out if sawdering irons are as hot as people say they are, and now I know to believe people more.
I think that\'s just about it... The rest are\'nt worth mentioning.
-
Ok... only three worth mentioning, well one worth mentioning, and two for fillers.
First off, I\'ve got one somewhere on the top of my head, where my skull cracked when my cousin\'s motorbike fell on me when I was about 8. It wasn\'t moving, I was just stand with a plain bike next to it, and must have bumped it or something. It just fell onto me, and I must have hit my head on the pavement. Had to have it glued, yes glued, back together. And if I didn\'t hold my head up, blood would trickle down into my eyes.
Second, gashed my knee falling of a bike. A nice little scar, but almost invisible now. About two inches wide, I think. Now that I think of it, I burned that knee real bad, too.
Thirdly, and most impressively, I\'ve got a ten-inch scar on my stomach from when I was 5 and got my backpack hit by a car. Yeah, my backpack. The car zoomed by and snagged my backpack, and threw me into another car so hard that it ripped the backpack off the straps, which remained on my shoulders. That was nasty. Lots of internal bleeding, broken ribs, broken pelvis, doctors didn\'t think I\'d survive, etc. etc.
-
I was in a hospital. There was a loveseat. It had wooden armrests. \'Thought it was a sofa.
Dropped my head back,
...and thwack!
Fortunately, I was in a hospital. On a side note, NEVER get staples.
-
Well I only have one scar thankfully because I find them neither amusing or manly ^^.
I was playing hockey on an outside rink and I got bodychecked from behind into the side boards an in the particular one in question there was a massive peice of sharp steel. It dug into my right under arm above my elbow almost going straight through, thankfully its out of plain sight ^^
-
I guess depth cant resist staying away ;)
I think the one that Phinehas said about the cars is the worst so far though. I might have a long list but no broken ribs :P So, are you scared to cross the street or anything? Cuz (after being hit by a car twice) Im pretty paranoid about crossing the street. I prettymuch jog across.
Edit: uh ya im a guy...

Y\'know the ten-inch scar I mentioned? Staples. Ow.
And no Efflixi. I was scared for a couple years, but now I love running out on zebra crossings and making cars screech to a stop. :D It was 14 years ago, and all I\'ve got to show for it is a huge scar and a slightly crooked pelvis, so I got over it.

Waa why do I have to be the one who goes nuts :(

I dont really have any that come to miind right now. ill post some if i do. nothing as ballsy as efflixi ;)
Ya I I found out what that thing is O.o
Well I used to have ecsima when i was little. Ecsima is where yourbody makes itsself really itchy all over and alllo you can do is itch it. It went away when i was like 12 but now I have a huge scab near my ankle that wont go away. I finally decided to go to the docter for this after a month and it still wouldn\'t go away...
It turns out this is like the second phase of ecsima where all the itching isolates its self near your hands or legs. Mine where the legs. So, my lower legs became so unbearably itchy that I tore my skin off myself by itching it. Then it got infected...
Im taking 2 pills every 6 hours now for it. One calms the itching down and another is killing the infection. Thats all my doctor could do for it but on thursday I gotta go to a dermatologist to get it looked at. I hope i dont need any surgury or anything :(
I didn\'t post this since it\'s more of a medical condition but since exuro brought it up theres #14 :)
And yes robinmagus I am screwd up... Surprisingly I have never broken a bone 8o
But I get way too much calcium it takes like twice the force to break me :)
My fingernails are super hard from all the calcium im getting too...
I need help cutting my right hads nails because my left had can\'t squeeze the clipper hard enough.
-
1.) dropped a hot iron on the back of my leg when i was 3, huge scar cover 75% of the back of my leg...
ehh thats it,other that just a bunch of little ones all over my arms and legs... from my days of running around outside, playing in trees, jumping off them, swimming in rivers... you know back when i actually went outside...
-
ok hopefully ill get the worst or secound worse single accident here! :D
ok, this is a real story ok, happend when i was about 11 ?
one day i got hit with a rock in a \"rock fight\" yes fell over and caught my face on a nail. i ripped a hole in my face from the top of my lip up to the side of my nose and past it.
you could see down my throaght from the hole in my face and into my nasal cavity. the nail ripped out a tooth and badly twiseted one which got stiched back in.
i was out cold and woke up dazed with a blood red shirt and hand fulls of blood in my hands from cupping my hand over my face.
2 hours of surgery, 3 internal layers of stirches in my face and nose and inside the top of my mouth.
the internal stitches disolved in time and i recoverd nicely. now all i have is a hairline indentation going from just abouve my lip and up past the side of my nose and threw my nose a little.
there you go, a magnificent story.
oh and many more incidents with bikes including a broken collar bone, but there was no blood in that one.
I think i win hey guys :P (maybe not the car and bag incident) but hey mine has alot of blood and flesh :D

Well, its still really nasty. you have a lot of medical conditions and stuff dont you? that sucks.. im pretty clean.. so far. DAAAMN!! Calcium-aholic!! You have to show me your nails sometime, you never told me any of that stuff. Cept for the time you got hit by a car by the freeway.
Nothing that cool ever happens to me. I never see it either. but i hear about it. No time to write it now, maybe later. but lets just say it involves a car, a boy and an ambulance. (can you guess?)
-
i get the same problem with me thumb nails. i get my sis to cut em. they bend and turn whiteand finally, wham. they\'re off :P
O.T. you and exuro know eachother?
O.T. (again :D) when you say los angeles do you refer to the downtown thingor glendale and burbank place..or the granada hills part? Its pure curiosity i swear!!!!
-
Well... If anyone cares to listen to my utter stupidity, I cant wait till I hear people reactions.
I was with a friend, down the street mile or two from my house, and We were near some old abandonded train tracks and in a forest.
We had one of those pairs of Handcuffs, they were the metal type.
He Dared me to climb this old oak tree handcuffed, And i bet him 10 bucks i could.
So i clipped on the handcuffs, and started climbing.. my hands in front of me.. so i was able to grab branches.
Anywho, I lost my footing somewhere along the line. and grabbed franticly for a branch, I caught one with my hand. and jerked my other wrist violently and cut it deep around the wrist. i was bleeding. and hanging from a tree about 20 feet above the ground.
I couldnt hang on any longer.. and i lost my grip and fell. I got caught up on a few branches on my way down, slowing my fall.. But i landed on my side.. elbow first onto the wood slat of the train track..
I had shattered my arm from the elbow up. and broken my collar bone, which poked through the skin. I was bleeding at the wrist of my other arm.. Lost alot of blood. never knew wrists bleed so dang much
My friend ran and got help, and after a day in the ER all was fine.. sort of.
I remember him asking if i was ok, when i was lying there. What a stupid question... but I think i was sort of in shock.. I remember everything.. but i cant recall any pain. Everything was sort of numb. When the ambulence came.. they asked my some questions to see if i Had a head injury.. but they couldnt get me to talk.. After the bone placement and the cast I sort of came to realization.
It was 3 years ago, and now i have a puckered fleshy scar on my right wrist, and my forarm doesn\'t rotate as far as the other one.. making it hard to turn my left hand palm up
-There have been numerous smaller incidents, but this is by far the most noteable, and doctors said if I hadn\'t gotten in in time i would have blead to death.

Ya exuro lives a block away from me. I live near glendale. I can write glendale on my adfress if i want because im on the border of it but i technichly live in La Crescenta.
And wisekran....OWW!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my god thats horrable! I would kill myself if i saw my bone stick out! (though i have seen it after my many deep wounds...)
And im not very messed up Exuro. I have some allergys to some fruits and ecsima. Thats it.
Oh and wisekran im kinda responsable for injuring my friend so i know how yours might have felt then =/
We where at the park (4 of us) and we where near one of thoe things with a spring on the bottem that go back an forth. We stuck my friend on it and made it go as fast as we could. Ke eventually flipped over it and hit his face on the front. He tore 1 or 2 nerves and he had a tooth completly knocked out from the root.
Not near what happend to you though...
-
Ok, quick vote, whose accident was worse, Davo\'s, Wisekran\'s, or mine?
Since they included the healing process: I spent three weeks in bed at the hospital. The first week I have no recollection of, since I was drugged in intensive care. The second two weeks were nasty since this was Eastern Europe quite a while ago and the health care wasn\'t too great. Also, during my three week stay in bed, my muscles atrophied to the point where I had to learn to walk again.
-
Hehe.. Well, after I got out of the hospital and started getting around... we laughed at the whole thing.
I mean really... how stupid is it to climb a tree handcuffed? lol
My mom has since doubted my mental stability :P
I guess it was serious, but It never really seemed like it. One second i was hanging from the tree, The other i was kissing dirt and bleeding. But i never felt anything. Then i woke up in the hospital, and stayed there for three days. If you have ever lost a substantial amount of blood.. it makes you really weak.. and its hard to breath. it really sucked.
-
Some of you had some impressive accidents... I myself did some stupid things and sometime fell really hard but somehow allways managed to get away in one piece... more or less. But lets see...
* At the age of about 2 years my ma left me in the car for a moment. Being a smart little guy I mimicked her behaviour: I pressed the cigarett lighter on, waited until it popped out and put it to my mouth... lacking a smoke I used the tongue. The circular scars vanished when I got 12.
* At the age of 5 I climbed one of the larger trees in the kindergarten. After climbing down really fast (9.81 m/s^2) the doctor simply put a full cover bandage over my back. No large scars left.
* At the age of 10 or 11 I decided to drive my bike near a fence that was directly built on a slope. And because one can\'t drive a bike on a slippery slope I of course slipped. My right forearm caught one of the fences v-profile metal posts and since than I have to perfectly parallel scars of 7 cms length on the forearm.
* At the age of 15 I once again climbed the wrong tree. This time I got much higher before a tree snapped. Going down the tree I broke several larger branches with my tigh and I\'m still thankful I allways missed the groin. Finally one of my feet caught on a branche and left me hanging upside down from the tree - 4 or 5 meters above concrete pavement plates. It seems that I must have been swinging when my feet lost hold because I did not hit the pavement but a car\'s hood that was standing on a parking lot a meter or two behind me. Nothing happend but my mom got me x-rayed anyway... you know how mothers are.
* At the age of 17 or 18 I went to spain with some friends for the sommer holidays. Great weather and such... and also a big rock thing at the beach you could try to climb up when the sun hit your head long enough. And because its not stupid enough to climb up a very steep and high rock I decided to access it from inside the sea. After finding out that waves tend to throw you into the mussels growing on the rock I had another nice gash nearly crossing the parallel scars... only 5 cm long but a deeper cut. But forearms don\'t seem to bleed much.
* For the last ten years I spared my body more accidents but falling down a stair when friends of mine moved. I saved the DVD player and the stereo and only had to wear a bandage around the ankle for 2 weeks :)
The only times I broke something it was caused by my f****** temper. Once I kicked a squash court wall for frustration (I\'m near blind on my left eye and simply can\'t hit small, fast moving things - but tell that to a 12 year old boy trying squash for the first time) and broke some small bones in my foot.
The other time I hit a public letter box after my girlfriend cheated on me, breaking my right hand. For some reason it didn\'t hurt so I simply let the swelling go away and found out about the broken bones more than half a year later. Now my right hand has a slight angle in the middle.
As I said before: Some accidents but mostly without much harm done.
Hope I didn\'t bore you after all the splatter and gore beforehand ;)
MC.

Wow....I guess I\'m really lucky.
The only really bad thing that happened to me didn\'t leave a scar. I was riding my bike barefoot when I was about 10 or 11. My foot slipped and went into the spokes of the front wheel. It ripped off half the skin of the big toe on my right foot and bruised my...index? toe really badly. I didn\'t need stitches, just lots and lots of gauze.
The only visible scars on me are from shaving (legs). There\'s one on my knee from using a crappy disposable razor. I managed to shave off a square inch of my skin in the process ^_^; It didn\'t really hurt, it just bled a lot...
Oh, and the time I tried to reach over a pan that just came out of the oven...my mom was baking lobsters and I must\'ve been 6. I really wanted the lobster and burned a large line into my left forearm while trying to grab at it. That was fun.
/me has never had a broken bone before.

im a girl and i got one :P
Kawasaki Mountain Bike + 4 foot kicker ramp + no helmet + Concrete + Sand + spikey bush= whole lot of pain
Heres the story
My friend has a sick kawasaki mountain bike and a four foot tall kicker ramp.
i come speeding down the hill on the bike, and slip on the pile of sand in front of the ramp
i do like 10 flips sideways, land on my left arm, and my bike gets into this SPIKEY ass bush
i get to pull the bike out, and in the process cut my wrist open ( i have a scar there) and i dislocated my left arm.
muahahaha!
-
Ugh. I\'m gonna go be sick now.
-
well my worst one is where i tore my arm open badly enough to lose 3 pints of blood. i got a massive scar on my arm to show it ill attach a picture in a bit lol its quite large 21 stiches on the out side twice as many on the inside the muscle was all torn as well i didnt lose my arm though and infact its perfectly all right! ^_^
here is the mental picture imagine a massive gash in your left arm so large that you can see the smaller viens pumping and the tendons moving before you try to make a bandage of your tattered jumper.
Did i win worst accident or what?
Edit: ohhh did i mention i lost all the skin around the wound in a post op infection sothey had to cut the skin out as it became gangrenous.
I have many other scars almost to many to list i may list a few other some other time with pictures of course :P

The worst part of accidents is often times not the pain, but the terror and the \"pain\" the mind induces.
When i hit the ground after falling from that tree, you get that numb/dazed sensation.
before i fell unconsious I saw my collar bone jutting out from a tear the the left of my neck, at first I had no idea what it was, I had never broken a bone that came thruogh the skin before. It was shocking, and unforgettable.
Have you ever noticed that chuldren cry when they get a bruise, or skinned knee, papercut etc. I dont beleive that the pain itself is what causes crying, rather the mind. they see the blood, or the cut and know they will have to deal with it until it heals, wear a bandaid, and other such things, the pain is also a factor
But you are older, you get a cut or scrape or something of the matter, and if you think about \"Whats the point of crying?\" you dont, you can just bear it.
Dont get my wrong now, Screams of Agony are tottaly different.
-
Hmmm I can\'t give you many scar stories since I am, well...I think I am immune to them or something I have two and they are both really small and from really bad incidents...Make that three.
I) I was four and was bothering my mom to let me help her carry stuff in from the car. Well she was moving canning jars and in a fit of anger handed be a #10 jar. It was about as big as me but I tried to carry it in anyway. Long story short I triped on my way up the path and ended up with four stitches in my lip. The scar is, and has been for years, virtually invisible but it is there.
II) I was twelve and I was running around in shop class when a guy using a welding torch started doing his thing. A redhot peice of metal jumped into my eye and gave me a 1.44mm scarr on my right eye that misses my field of vision by .23mm.
III) I was newly married and was cleaning the dishes when I started to clean one of our new whoostoff knives. Sharp little dandy cut clean to the bone. I used two butterfly bandages and a piece of medical tape to hold the finger closed and after a couple weeks it was as good as new, except for the 6mm scarr across that knuckle.
Now, on to the groin injuries.
A) Sledding: Me spread eagle on a tobogan that was stopped by a 1\" lead pipe sticking out of the ground. Two days on the couch and one ziplock full of ice.
B) BMX:
#1. Jumping off a ramp made from a sheet of plywood and logs. Logs gave way, ramp collapsed, I was just pulling up. Four hours in a tub of cold watter, two days on the couch. One Coldeez pack.
#2. Jumping over the \"dragon trench\" Lets just say that ten speeds can\'t get enough speed while traveling uphill to clear a 12ft gorge...no matter how big the ramp is.
one week on the couch, one new bike frame, two bags of ice and an expensive \'soft cup\'.
#3. \'deadmans hill jump\' apparently no matter how hard you hold onto the handlebars a 60 degree jump after a quartermile long run down a 86 degree grade just can\'t be done by a ten yearold. one week on the couch, three ice pack, one therapy session and God knows haw many trips to the chiropractor.
C) Climbing trees:
Lets just say that me and trees stopped getting along after five incidents that included bleeding.
D) The fire hydrant incident:
This one is a classic around the dinner table while company is over. I used to do all kinds of great stuff with my friends, on our bikes. Like ride as fast as I could and jump off the bike over fire hydrants. Well it just so hapens that I missed once. Just once mind you, the other times I was fine. This one instance though I cought my herlooms;) on the top of the hydrant. Me and three blood soaked towls, with two large ziplock bags of ice and a set of plastic sheets on the couch for three days. Plus having to wear that damned \'soft cup\' again for three weeks and my dad bandaging me up \'down there\'. twelve was a year I\'d like to forget.
Most of the other incidents are just not worth the time.
edit: PS if sifright(sp) is on the up and up I say he wins so far for worst wound lived through.

Hey! That\'s not fair. I only mentioned scars on my face. :D (And yup, the last one is here for good)
Ah the good old days of stupid bike tricks. Anybody know what ghostriding is? Well, to sum up, jump on bike, go some, jump off and let the bike \'ghostride\'.
Dumb way to do it: get going as fast as you can, jump off on pavement, fall down and roll down the street, rip a large chunk out of your knee, feel stupid as your bike only goes ten feet before tumbling into the ditch.
Also, I have a broken nose from when I was a baby and my older brother desided that it would be fun to ride a Tonka truck down some stairs. But he needed to test it first. On me. Black eyes for more than a week, I\'m told. And I still can\'t sneeze through my nose.
Also, did I mention that a HORSE stepped on my FACE at a full gallop? Oh...guess I did.

*pet pet* poor under the moon wants attention :P *pet pet*

Well I have two.
1) This one isn\'t really bad, just weird. Well when I was about 9 or 10, my parents had gotten this new juicer and my Mom told me to go get some oranges from our tree to juice. When I got back I begged my Mom to let me juice the oranges. She finally agreed and after cutting in half and successfully juicing 3 oranges she left the room thinking I was fine. Well I thought that too, but after a few more oranges I cut into one and all of the sudden got sprayed with orange juice all over my face.........or what I thought was orange juice. I wiped it off with the hand holding the knife and then noticing that my hand was covered in red, I look down at my other hand to see the first inch of my thumb dangling about and only connected to the bottom half of my thumb by a very small amount of skin. It was then that I began to feel the pain ,and believe me there was quite a bit of it, so my Mom called 911 and I went to the hospital and they did their thing so my thumb is fine...sort of. It\'s still kind of placed at an angle if you look at it closely but other than that, it\'s ok.
2) Now this one hurt alot. It had just got done raining and I was planning on going to a friends house a little bit before, but I obviously couldn\'t ride my bike in the rain, so when it stopped I rushed out of the house and started on my bike as fast as I could. I was riding around this big bend when all of the sudden my foot slipped off the pedal and I just sat still for a moment to get my balance back before I started riding again(but I was still steering my bike around the rest of the bend). I was just getting out of this large turn and onto the next street when I hear this horn blowing really loud and I turn my head and it\'s a small red volvo. It slams into the front part of the bike,just before the handle bars and right after the forks. Me and my bike go flying sideways and my face hits this stop sign but my bike keeps going and brings the rest of my body with it, scraping my face on the sign and I finally land in a ditch all tangled with my messed up bike, where I lay, not really knowing what happened.

The only staying marks I have are
1# My now up to four times broken nose (I broke it two times with a chair (Do not ask!), then a door hit me, and last but not least I was knocked out by a ball for five minutes which directly hit me into the nose)
2#My foot has a small burnt mark. Some time ago on vacation a small glowing chunk of metal landed exatly on the empty space of my sandals, and bounced off, it burnt two centimetres into my flesh, but when my brother disinfectated it, it hurt a lot (f***k Hydrougen Super Oxid, or how this stuff is called)
I also had an incident where I caught my soldering iron\'s tip with my hand. *looks around* Dont look at me that way! it was my only soldering iron suitable for electronics. But it didnt really leave any scars behind.

Ummm.. Are ya getting egoboost from the amount of scars (and attention) you have got?
Sounds like planeshift really needs that Orc race.

It doesn\'t give me an ego boost, but it\'s still fun to talk about them.

Someone mentioned they broke their nose twice with a chair, but no details were given.

Well I broke my nose with such a fold up beach lying chair thingy (dunno the terminus technicus). I tried to well build it up, tried to lie down in it and, smash. Since them I never use these thingies.

@ Cyl
Ha hah hahhah ahah ah hah ah hha h ah(*pi)
So that this won\'t get Dld as Spam I should say that I broke my nose while I was asleep by banging it into a wall. Pealing my self off my pillow the next morning and looking down at it\'s crimson surface I thought, \"damn, this is my favorite pillow...how am I going to get all that blood out...wait...blood??!\"

Well just a short story!
When I was a kid throwing rocks and other stuff at each other was huge among the kids so one time i got hit with a piece of shingle right in the head, and now I have a scar right near one of my eyebrows \\o/
Also one time I was trying to break up a fight between my cat and another cat... my cat was chasing the other cat... so I picked up my cat... he didn\'t liked at all... and jumped out off my lap and then throw himself at my leg biting it... thus leaving another scar!
I have a few other scars but with no story to tell... just simple hazzards!
