My lame meme

[bobquasit]

Okay, here it is - a meme which will ONLY be done by me. Which means that it's NOT a meme, actually. Or not a viable one, anyway.



How did I get it?

1. In college I was dealing with a drunken roommate who had been screaming out in the street that he cared about people. With my other roommate I helped quiet him down and get him upstairs. We thought he'd finally gone to sleep when he suddenly woke up and projectile-vomited - all over my autographed copy of Gordon R. Dickson's Tactics of Mistake. I was so angry that I turned around and slapped my hand against a wall.
   
   Unfortunately I hadn't noticed that there was a nail with a broken-off head in the wall, and by the time I'd realized it, I had already pulled my hand down, ripping my palm open still further. I ended up getting ten stiches at the local hospital. We never got the bloodstains off the wallpaper.
   
   
2. Long ago, when I was a toddler, I was toddling across the living room of our apartment while holding a glass statue of a dog. Unfortunately my new walking skills weren't up to the task of navigating around the stretched-out legs of visitors, and I fell down - shattering the statue, and slicing all the skin off of my hand. My father tried to repair the situation with gauze and medical tape, but the tape kept getting soaked with blood and unraveling. Then the entire skin of my palm would simply flop loose; it was only connected at the base of my palm. I ended up being driven, screaming, to the hospital, where the doctors sewed up my hand.
   
   So which is true - #1, or #2?

Don't know about your hand,but

I saved the pic of my sister, Lo in her costume from your blog. I hope that is ok. I really liked the photo because she really looks like she is riding the bird. I'm glad all those weeks of substituting for the rider and having to give Lo piggyback rides was fruitful. (At least it made me feel like one of the characters in R. Crumb.) I also saw pics of your son. He is very cute and the red hair is fantastic. He has a very classic European look. (That's a good thing). As far as your hand, you have left out several possibilities such as excessive masturbation, perhaps repressed memory has caused you to forget spanking some bimbo down in the Zone in the '80s or maybe youre just gripping the steering wheel too hard. Fathers/husbands have a tendency to do that. (That is about as Erma Bombeckish as I think.) Alien Folstein

I have an idea which is true, but that would be because you and I both met Dickson at one point. :)
