Wish I had a great and heroic story for you guys about saving Rail26 and his crew from the jaws of death, but I friggin' got hurt in a training exercise. The best part was that we were demonstrating dynamic entry techniques to total strangers. All I demonstrated was how to be dynamically removed by ambulance. And this less than an hour after our training staff made a big deal out of introducing us one by one and reading down our resumes. Lovely.

Thanks for all the pictures and websites. Please keep them coming. Laying around blows.

Question. Do all the hotties hang with the import tuner set? Kinda makes you want to run out and buy a Hyundai with a fart muffler.

No - only on TV. Porsches sell themselves. In order to get someone to buy a plastic spoiler for a 115 HP Civic, you need to have an Asian hottie standing next to the car.

Growing up the car magazines said how amazing Porsches are. Was I brainwashed? Somehow...I doubt it.

I hope you have a speedy recovery. Here are some photos that to entertain you. I took these shots myself (obviously not a pro) but try and guess what kind of car. I took this photo day after it happened. A woman was intoxicated as she left a local bar is San Mateo CA. its a 2 lane rd that turn s sharp right (90 degree), she was speeding and did not turn at all. Her car hit the curb and launched it far enough that she flew over at least 15 feet of large jagged rock and into the bay. She swam to shore walked to a nearby place where she tried to call a tow truck to pull it out. Tow truck driver reported it to the cops where she was arrested for DUI. This are is a common place for wind surfers called Cayote Point.

Griz--

Gettin' old(er) sucks, don't it? Until, as they say, one considers the alternative. About 10 years ago (when I was just about exactly your age) I took an awkward spill on some slippery steps and my lower back has never been the same. My younger son, then 5-ish, watched from the top of the steps as I writhed around on the floor in excruciating pain until, eventually realizing he was watching and getting pretty scared, I somehow managed to croak out (lying through my clenched teeth) "I'm OK." (Wanted to say "Call an ambulance.")

Couple years ago exacerbated it working at the clinic, picking up (stupidly using totally improper technique for lifting, ie back not rigidly straight) a dog to put him on the exam table. (Ever since, my wife takes great delight in telling the story of how I injured my back at work picking up a Poodle...what she conveniently fails to mention was that it was a 65 lb Standard Poodle!)

Hang tough kid. It never gets back to the way it was, but it gets better.

This one is also good:

http://www.hotchickswithdouchebags.com/

be sure to check out the Hall of Scrote

This site gave me an idea for my Halloween costume. I bought a whoopee cushion costume, turned it inside out and attached a hose with a piece of PVC drain pipe on the end. Drilled some holes in the PVC a voila, I was a douche bag.

I think I may know something that might help, at least for a day or two anyway. Hopefully you missed this in your first pass through the internet. Its the Pelican Parts BBS Off-topic forum. There's tons of stuff there but I find that the More Random pictures thread is good for hours of laughs. There's 500+ pages of everything from the obvious to that abstrat. Plenty of easy on the eyes, safe for work photos (think grid girls), including gratitious camel toe and even a moose knuckle or two thrown in for proper balance in reporting.

Here's a good start from the sublime humor category:

Best wishes to heal up quick.

Grizzly:

I am very sorry to hear about your accident. I can certainly relate as to how terrible it is to be bedridden. I did a photoshoot the other day with my favorite model. Here are some images from that set. I hope they take your mind off your troubles for at least a few minutes.

Take it easy and enjoy those meds. Vic's were always my favorite pain reliever, once I did a couple of shots of tequila after taking one. Don't want to make that mistake again....

Take your time getting back on your feet. Hershey is not 'till April. I am looking forward to meeting you there this time.

Oh yeah-now that you have all this time on your hands are you sure you can't PM me that story?? I mean the back of my hands were at least as red as yours....
