After we were done we went in and washed up for lunch. Kid washed though, so not very thorough. Well, when we were near finished eating mom asked what we had been doing. So we told her. She got this look of shock on her face and informed us that it wasn't mud but manure. Kids being kids we shrugged and kept eating...but mom was thoroughly disgusted and insisted we wash up again to her satisfaction.
Also, there used to be a bunch of boards behind our barn. Well, my friend and I were playing back there and I was walking along one of them. I missed seeing a nail sticking up, and it went right through my shoe and into my foot. Of course, I promptly sat down and started wailing, being I think 5 or 6. My friend tried to quiet me down and said "Shhhh, don't say anything, I'll have to go home!"
This was sound logic to me! I didn't tell my mother about it till AFTER my friend had gone home about 5 hours later.
I'm amazed I didn't get some strange infection. [ 10-13-2002: Message edited by: Ragabash ]
I was just learning endo's on my dirtbike, which is when you stop on the front tire, with the rear tire coming up a foot or too depending on your skill level. Yeah so I had my mom come out and watch, so I speed up, yank the front brake and flip right onto my chest/head.
Also, when no one was watching I wanted to see how fast I could go, so I went way way down the otherside of our driveway(we had a huge country house, 300 acres) and just floored it all the way back to our house, at about 49mph I hit a bump where the payment started, the bike layed down on me and the pavement began to eat the right side of my body. Luckly I had some motocross pad pants, and like three shirts on the time. I still have minimal scars from this one(I don't scare easy)
And the last, but first one that happened to me involed me 'skate boarding' when I was like 6 down a huge hill. I decided sitting down was lame, so I'd sit on my knees.. Well yeah my kness fell off the board and scraped the whole way down, basicly exposing the bone on each side. I had cuts there for months after that.
Funny thing is, I never went to the hospital for any of these(never been in my life).
When I woke up, I was too groggy to remember I set up all these traps, but I did see the chocolate by the wall nearest the door. I sprung for it forgetting about my tripwires.
I fell on my face, HARD. Taking down everything I had the tripwires attached to, I was so pissed off..
#2. Oh, and Ive also attempted the bunkbed parachute ordeal, I dont know how but I landed on my head =/
#3. When I was younger there used to be a HUGE pile of broken glass behind my house, I think it was dumped there when the houses were being built and perhaps someone didnt get the windows they wanted and just threw them out or something.. I dunno.
Anyways, me and Liam were out back throwing rocks at the glass, as any self respecting kid would. Lo and behold a shard of it broke and flew into my forehead (didnt stick, but it made a gash).
I got really freaking stressed because I wasnt supposed to be throwing rocks at the glass, but never fear! Liam knew what to do.
I wiped the blood off with my hand and he took off a leaf with a bit of dew on it from some weed or other and put it over my cut. It stopped bleeding INSTANTLY.
Soo yeah... End of story. I had a few more to tell but I think this post is long enough already.
My dad slammed my foot in a car door once, too.
I also once accidently got my hand caught in that little space created in the bottom/back part of the seat of some Buicks when you lean the seat forward so people can get out of the backseat.

I feel left out
I was finishing out the main chamber when the whole thing collapsed on me. Took my friend about half an hour to get me out.. I was cold for DAYS.
Also, I made my brother super angry at one point, and started running.. Well, We have an old Poplar tree in the back, and the roots were friggin everywhere. I tripped on one, and my collarbone landed on another, snapping it in two. Really sucked. :/
We had an old Sega Master system with the built in game.. it was like missle command with a gun. Fun as hell. You shot at the missles as they came from the silo, then as they went into orbit, then reentry, then just before they hit.
I used to play for hours, laying on my stomach after school.. after a while, my chest really hurt, and I couldnt take a deeeep breath without it hurting a LOT.. I probably had a partially collapsed lung, but I never told anyone.
I think breath training in Chorus in 4th and 5th grade helped a lot. hehe.
I slammed my hand in a door about a year ago...
Got a big splinter in my hand for 6 months...
And I broke my two front teeth with a power rangers dragon dagger
back when i was really young and lived in itily, we where livingin this huge farmhosue thingy, anyways, it was freezing their, so int eh bathroom we had a wood stove, so afer i finished going ot the bathroom, i sat on the stove, had to go to the hospital
not sure bout all the details, i was really little when htis hapened, so i dont really rember itthat well, buti know i sat on a really hot heat casueing thign in the bathroom, imrelatively sure it was a stove
car was on top of a hill, mom and stepdad werent in car, i was, i moved to the drivers seat and started playign with it, their wherentkeys in it, so most things didnt work, then i got to the emergency brake, rolled down thehill into a tree, dented the abck of the car
i had a primal ragfe figure, the red T-rex that shoots "fireballs" (little plastc red balls) got one stuck inmy nose, itwas ery hard to get out, now one of my nostrils is allmsot useless, and my sense of smell kinda dim
We had a beetle.. or a car of some sort.. but anyway, we were using the windsheild as a slide (Okay, we were bored. 
) ...
Well, my brother got in the car, and turned on the wiper blades, just as I started sliding down..
Fifteen stiches in my ass later...

Gomateux had this to say about Jimmy Carter:
[QB]#1. There was this one time I really wanted to catch the easter bunny. So in my room I made an elaborate network of tripwires made from shoe laces. They were all over the place, I dont remember why I had so many extra shoe laces. But anyways, there were maybe 20 all through the room at all kinds of angles.When I woke up, I was too groggy to remember I set up all these traps, but I did see the chocolate by the wall nearest the door. I sprung for it forgetting about my tripwires.
I fell on my face, HARD. Taking down everything I had the tripwires attached to, I was so pissed off..
That, goma, was the greatest thing I have ever heard.
My odd stuff: There was this big old dead tree in the backyard of our house in Chicago, so being the daredevil kid I was, I'd climb up it almost daily, not worrying about rotting branches or anything. Seriously, I'd go up 60 ft to the top of the tree on a regular basis and nothing bad would happen. During one storm however, just about 2/3 of all its branches fell off, so no more climbing Letsee, for harming myself, I once ran my arm along our fence in another neighborhood in Chicago(I lived in two places there because me and my parents hated the neighbors in one), and had it literally full of splinters. I've burned myself a couple of times, usually nothing all that serious. I've had other people slam my hands into things, like a book return box, I've still got the scar from that...Or trip me so that I land on sharp things...I've got a couple of scars from that...I've jumped from a whole load of high places and didn't get hurt, though some were pretty stupid places to climb up to in the first place...
My brother's stuff: When wrestling near the fireplace when we were still very young, I pinned him right over the bricks, and in an attempt to get away, he slammed his head backwards onto the bricks, splitting it open. Of course, he has always had a bad history of injuring his head...like falling backwards off a slide when he was two...trying to build a pillow bridge from the couch to a table a few feet away then actually trying to walk on it. He's fallen down a window well...flipped over the handlebars of his bike, gotten bitten by a shrew/mouse, tripped and banged into things more often than I can count...
I was the one who did risky stuff and rarely got hurt, and my brother rarely did risky stuff but got hurt often

A classical music band came in on this barge down Taylor's Creek and I was riding my bike on Front Street (I wasn't supposed to, according to the Police).
Anyway, I rode it up on the grass to get a better view of the barge, but apparently I was blocking some old guy's view (I don't know WHY he need to SEE a classical MUSIC group), and he told me to move out of the way.
Guy: "Hey, you're not supposed to be riding bikes around here, get it out of here!"
Me: "Who the hell do you think you are?"
Guy: "I'm the Sheriff of Beaufort, who are you?"
Me: "..." (as I turned my bike around and rode the hell out of there.)

1. My mother was chatting with an old neighbor of mine about gardening. Being the lovable daughter I am, I tagged along and clung onto my mom's legs for most of the time. Then the talk about tomatoes came up. I SWORE the neighbor said "tornado". I promptly flung my arms away from my mom, screamed, and ran all the way into the basement bathroom.
2. Whenever I heard thunder, I cried, because I thought it meant a tornado was coming.
I was such a wimp. ;p

Ah yes. When I was young, I was also dead afraid of tornadoes. Two incidents I can think of:1. My mother was chatting with an old neighbor of mine about gardening.

Hey, I used to do that too. For me, it got to a point where I would wake up in the middle of the night and turn on the Weather Channel to see if any fronts were headed our way.
I forget what finally snapped me out of it, but nowadays I really enjoy thunderstorms a lot.
The more you know.

I did this too, and there hasn't been a tornado where I live in 50 years. I was also afraid there would be a tidal wave in the small fishing lake outside town.
