Why I'm Dumb (Part 299)

I haven't had to post a Why I'm Dumb story since January!

As if this was the first time, I got hurt playing kickball....again!!!!!

Wednesday, April 2, 2008 - Who gets hurt playing KICKBALL???? Me!!!!

(Something that didn't get mentioned in the aftermath of story #2...the cuts on both of the cuts on my knees got infected, shocking, right?)

To get to my latest dumb activity, I must share another kickball story. So last Saturday (week and a half ago) was the big Smyrna kickball tournament. Team BOFBOS was starting to come on strong after losing 4 of our first 5 games we won the next two going into the tournament. (I swear if anyone says that one of those wins was because the other team didn't show up I'll punch you!) D'oh! Anyways, it was a big day.

BOFBOS got off to a huge start with a 6-run inning to take a 6-0 lead over the Shweaty Balls. Things were lookin good for us. Then it all went to shit, everyone (ok, mainly Jake!) started dropping balls left and right, and the next thing we knew we were losing 10-6! Ouch! But we weren't gonna roll over. The comeback was on. It was 10-8, I was on first base with Mark coming up and he kicked the hell out of the ball, I took off, rounded third base when my feet had decided they had enough. Down I went, stumbling just past third base. But I had to get up, the ball was coming and I knew it was gonna be a close play, so I dove. Head first. Into home. I was wearing long socks and knee-pads, what could possibly happen? I was safe! 10-9! And we eventually finished it off and won 11-10 before losing to the douchebag green team by one run for the third time this season, all by one run, this time in extra innings.

But the Why I'm Dumb part was the headfirst slide. Even with KNEE PADS...KNEE PADS!!!! I scraped up my knees. Again. I believe this is my third time.

You can see some pictures here: (notice the KNEEpads)

So fast forward a week and a half, I'm definitely doing a better job taking care of my injuries than last time, but I finally went to see a doctor yesterday. Immediately with barely a look, the nurse says, oh yeah, those are infected. Daaaaaaaamn. And that I need a tetnis (tetanus?) shot. Daaaaaaaaaamn. So now I've had to get a shot and am now on 2 antibiotics and an ointment for the next 7-10 days. Awesome!!!! Guess who's buying new knee pads!!!!!!

Kim's probably right, I should probably wear full body armor, with a helmut (yes she spells it that way) every time I play.

Full body armor at least.
The good news is you can use the armor and get a horse and go jousting.
