Easy! You poked yourself in the eye with that yard long warden stem of yours...proof that those things are really dangerous!



When I first saw your comment about losing your eye...I wanted to ask if you had ever found it...but held off as I am the very soul of discretion, etc.

Red rider?

LOL oh come on..... you guys can do better than that!!!!! Believe me it isn't a sensitive topic, I pm'd a member who asked me, because the story when told with proper amounts of alcohol and a pipe in my mouth gets ....... a little wild and I didnt know if anyone wanted to know.

Red rider?

Ummmm I was the guy he told the story to, so I won't share it, but I will say it did involve three strippers, a firetruck, an escaped polar bear and a wizard.

Red rider?

I have to admit, that was the first thing that popped into my mind as well!

Damn Rev, I wish it would have happened like that!

This is what happened...
I ran a guide service for fishing and hunting on the side of my day job to supplement my income. I was guiding a fishing trip on the Big Manistee river, my client, a "Know it all" architect from Chicago got his lure hung up on the shore as we were drift fishing in my jon boat. I said hold on I will get it and the next thing I know he jerks his rod and the flatfish lure came loose and hit me in the left eye, it tore the lens and part of my pupil out. this dude is all freaking out hyperventilating and I had to say " You need to chill out I'm the one with a lure in my face" I had to motor the boat 2 miles back upstream and then load it on the trailer and drive myself to the hospital while the lure was still hooked in my face and my eye. I have had a couple lazer treatments on whats left to make it look normal again ( taking the nasty film from the scar tissue off) and they implanted a "Spacer" lens to make it look somewhat normal. when I have it open I pretty much have no iris, my pupil expanded and wont go back down so instead of having two honey brown eyes, I have one that is black. Sadly I am completely blind in it... but the almighty wouldnt give me anything I can't handle. plus while I am at work, I wear an eye patch and my hair pulled back.... The ladies go nuts over pirates . My wife cried and was more upset when it happened than I was... Just another scar, just another story of how I came to where I am!

thats how it happened!!!!! There are different "Artistic" touches that come out when I have a couple in me, but for the long short, thats what happened

Damn, Brother! That sucks.


I was going to say 'Zombie Apocalypse' and try to make you out to be a hero and a survivor. :cheers:

This. Is. Epic. :lol: You're one positive, good-natured S.O.B., my friend. 8) Hail to all that makes us special, be they scars mental, physical or otherwise imposed. Problems? What problems? They just make things more interesting.

Hhhmmmmm...I'm a little late to the party, but I was gonna say you rented a parrot for halloween a few years ago and it got hungry.

I've got a couple of cousins who have taken bass lures to the face. They got lucky, both of them just in the cheek. But, man I can't imagine having to drive yourself to the hospital while the jerk that did it has the sniffles and is distraught. Just goes to prove, there are men and then there are MEN....you sir are the later.

Whoa. If Kyle hadn't requoted the real story, I would have missied it entirely. Good show BH. When I live in Southeast Alaska I knew a guy that employed two roofers in his business and told an amazing story that involved a roof, a worm drive saw, the loss of a finger, a quick trip to the ER, a race back to look for the severed digit and the sight of a Raven flying away with the finger in it's beak...but I think your story is better, and far more tragic. I broke my foot one time and had to drive 15 miles in my little truck that had a clutch...the foot kind of crunched every time I had to shift, but it was really kind of numb and I think your thing was maybe a hundred times as painfull...it's actually incredible to think you (or anyone) could do that! It's really pretty amazing what people are capable of doing if they really HAVE to! I mean, after all, women have babies! People get old and decrepit and hurt all the time and can't do anything yet STILL have a good attitude! Wow!

I think that in our society it's praiseworthy to make light of something like that or maintain that positive attitude rather than show anger or whine and snivel about it. It's a 'human spirit' kind of thing. And all I gotta say is that you've got it in spades brother. My hats off to ya!

Here I was afraid it would be something boring like an infection. Had I been here for the guessing game earlier, I would have said it was an amorous chimpanzee with terrible aim.
But geez, man, that's a helluva story. Totally diverted the attention away from the rape fields of Idaho. And you called me "da man" just for getting a tooth knocked out in a DKM mosh pit? Want to know who da man is? Look in da mirror.
