So, I've probably been about 1 year past my tetanus shot due date. My mom keeps getting on me to go get one and for some reason I kept delaying, probably to save a buck or two.

Anyway, yesterday I go to take my boots off and feel a hard object outside of my boot. I look, and see...

A nail, missed my heel and went out the side. A very odd reminder for me to get my arse to the doctor. Getting my shot tomorrow. :willy_nilly:

Try shooting yourself in the hand with a nail gun. Happens a lot to carpenters/framers.

Just pull the nail out with pliers and go back to work.

True story... I was in the ER waiting room with my wife who was having kidney stones and a guy came in with a nail sticking all the way through his hand... It looked awesome, and he said it didn't hurt... Apparently it went through the ligament, as he couldn't bend the finger...

reminds me of when I was a kid playing around building tree forts. The pain of stepping on a nail, then knowing I had to pull my foot up again, knowing its going to hurt again...good times, good times.

CoolPepper, you'd be surprised how easy a nail slides into shoe rubber...

I've seen 4 guys shoot themselves (including me) in the hand over the years just to pull out the nail and keep right on working. One guy shot his pointer & middle fingers together..:eek:

The only person to ever go to the ER was a guy who shot himself right above his knee cap.

    • You could say that-- but if we don't need a starting OT this year, why would you draft a flawed one that is not going to play? (We are coming from different underlying assumptions and perspectives--I see your argument and don't disagree with the premise) Your thinking is based on the assumption that an OT for the future is more important than immediate needs at other positions, or that we can meet other needs in later rounds even if we take the OT in round 1.  I do not think there is but 1 OT worthy of a first-round grade---they are mocked based on need and demand--if we do not have a need for a starter right now, a team at 18 may grab a T that is the 33rd best player--worth it if you have no starting T, but not if you have a starter.  So just because they are mocked around the middle of the first it does not mean that the players are good values--teams get desperate.  QBs are a great example.  Simpson may be worth it in round 1 for the Cardinals, but not the Jets, because they have Geno Smith.  Sure, they will need a QB by next year, but taking Simpson is a reach. I do not see our need, with 2 starters (Walker and Moton) and another possibly returning by the end of the season enough to justify ranking OT over positions like Safety, Will LB--I do not think we replaced A Shawn Robinson (We gonna put a NT out there?  Wharton (280lbs)?  So do we reach in round 1 for a player who may not play much or do we get a Will LB that can cover?  A deep free safety?  A quality center? A playmaking TE?  A DT to replace Robinson?  A wide receiver to balance the secondary?  Long term, if the right player was there, you would be right.  Short term, OT is a luxury at this point, in my view.  
    • Put Huey P Newton on the helmet. With his AK. 
    • We arent switching. Evero is 3-4 to the core. Given how 3-4 has been a noticeable characteristic of top defenses recently and we have drafted and signed players fir it  I dont know why anyone would think that's a good idea
