• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Self surgery storeys i know we got them AMA

I've had plenty of injuries...broken bones, stitches, etc. Only thing I ever fixed myself was dislocations. Once was just a pinky toe, but the other time was my shoulder. That was pretty painful, but doing it myself beat the hell out of half the night in the ER.
 
In college I got a toothpick shoved in between 2 of my toes. It was in deep, prolly 2/3 of the the toothpick, and a couple of the guys I lived with tried to pull it out with pliers but it wouldn't budge. Went to the hospital to have it removed. I guess this was a failure for this thread.
 
Guy I played ball with had 3 fingers on his throwing hand . Thumb, birdie, ring finger.

WAs making homemade hamburger at a butchering and he pushed his hand down to press the meat thru the grinder. It sucked his hand in. They had to hand crack reverse the machine to get his “hand” out.

Dude lost tow fingers but could throw the shit out of a baseball after. His ball had natural break on it

So he had 3 fingers and then got his hand sucked into a meat grinder??? Fuuuck!

J/k, Jim Abbott did well playing ball without an entire hand.
