Holiday injuries!!!
« on: November 27, 2005, 08:07:22 PM »
Just wondering if you recived any holiday injuries? I recived one this Thanksgiving. I nearly lost my left eye opening a Champaign bottle. What happened was the cork broke off, leaving a very small part of the cork left in side. Only about 3/4's of an inch thick. I tryed removing what was left with a cheap @$$ cork scroow. I was trying to be very carefull at doing this because these things are under heavy pressure. I turned the bottle at an angle to see where I was applying the scroow while trying to keep it from me as far as possible.......BLAM!!!!!!!!! It fired saw a bright light..... DARK then pain!!!!!! It fired and hit me at the top of my socket or Orbital. luckly not touching my eye a little blood with a perfect circle, and some bad swelling.

I was lucky  ;)

My injury was acquired in between Thanksgiving and Christmas. It happened when I signed on to Airsoft Arizona, read this thread, and suffered from a loss of IQ points and time that can not be recovered.

It sucked.

Based on what I've seen of you and alcohol, Brian, sounds like you might want to re-think your involvement before you really hurt yourself. Getting shot with a champagne cork is, well definitely special.

I've heard that what happens at the Woodford Reserve stays at the Woodford Reserve.

I had a close brush with death just the other day.

I was shopping and after I bought something I was asked, "Do you want a bag for that?".

I glanced at my girlfriend, then back at the cashier and said "No thanks, i've got one already".

I recall alot of running and dodging after that.

Well we all know that Brian is definitely special!   ;)

Glad to hear that you missed your eye. But gez would you try to be careful?  You do know that you dont want to get injured to bad when your trying to become a police officer?  It just doesnt help when they are deciding whether or not to give you a sidearm.  
Recruiting officer "OMG what the heck happened to your eye son?"   Brian " Ah, well in short....champaign bottle 1, me 0."

Small, rather quaint town in Illinois. I had a one-time attachment with a fine woman who, presumably as a result of said attachment transferred from Arizona State to the university there.
