Jackass IV......

CAP1 ~ I am really sorry that your co-worker was permanently injured. Such a tragic thing to have happen to ANYONE - much less a man in his prime with a family.

I AM glad that Daddy'O (aka: Crash) wasn't hurt to the point of having to go the ER. I SWEAR I would have called Welder up and made HIM take him. My group KNOWS how I feel about weekend ER trips.

Yep ~ like the Bible says: Pride goeth before a fall. And in some cases - AFTER! HA!!! (Sorry - couldn't resist~)

I had to give up roller skates some years back - along with snow skiing. I had one friend break her ankle BADLY on roller skates and my other friend had to be carted to the ER while we were on a skiing trip with a blown knee. The "good news" is that I learned from THEIR examples. Therefore, the LEAST Daddy'O can do is give up the skateboard. NOW ~ when it comes to FISHIN'...... Well, let's just hope it NEVER comes down to givin' THAT UP!

Now ~ let's everyone get out there and BE CAREFUL but HAVE FUN!!!

My question to you FJ is:

Did you kiss his boobo all better?

OR

Did you give him a swift smack up side the head for trying to be a kid at his age?

Mama always seems to find a way for tough love.

Hi D.

Garett ~ So great to hear from you!!

Uh ~ to answer your question....my foot "kissed" his arse for bein' a moron and THEN I smacked him upside his head.....for good measure~

Don't be such a stranger!!

Likewise, when the trampoline craze was going on back in the 70's it happened to me. I was doing pretty good making flips with the kids when something happened, shot off of that thing spinning like a four way lug wrench and learned you can't land on you feet like a cat .... messed my back up.

FJ: You don't really think any of us grow up and get smarter, do you?

I know I can ride as well as I used to. Now if I could just remember where i put the skateboard.....

[farmerjane]

I read somewhere that as people get older they gain WISDOM, but it must be for just a select few. HA!!

And trust me ~ you're body is THANKING your brain for not rememberin' where that skateboard is~!

[Kern O]

What skateboard?

Or maybe I ought to ask: What memory?

[Garett]

I had to re-look at those pics of Wayne's so called injuries ........tough it up my friend! hehehe Jane now you tell that boy of yours to get back out there and get back on that horse and ride it until he get's it right!

Jane, I hope Les mentioned to you guys why I've been such a stranger these past few months, it was quite the experience!

FJ so did the ground honestly do that or is that the mark left after you had a uhh "talk" with him about giving up the skateboard.

[Daddy'O]

I keep wishing this thread would die out....

The head is pretty much healed up, turned out my sunglasses are what caused the mark on my forehead. Similar to a 'rug burn'.

Garett - glad to hear from you! Yepper, Les shared some of your stories with me FJ earlier this week. All, I can say is I'd rather fall off a skateboard!
