Something I do not recommend.

replicant_argent · 12-28-2009, 09:00 PM

When going downstairs to the bar for a beer last night, (mind you, it wasn't a "consecutive" beer by any means) it was dark. Knowing my way around my house prett well in the dark, I don't turn on the lights when I have a simple task to do that doesn't require more than rudimentary hand/eye coordination in conjunction with a simple task.
Do Not, repeat, Do Not, stack a couple sets of spare speaker stands in the vicinity of the under counter beer fridge. If you do, and they are black, and you forget your dumb ass put them there, you may have a problem.
I tripped. I fell. I impaled my wrist on an upside down speaker stand. With isolation spikes facing up.

I crucified my right wrist on one.

Now... the good part is that I had two sets of stands residing in the wrong spot, and rather than impaling my wrist on the inch and a half long spikes, I did so on the short 1/4"-ers. I also got lucky that I missed those blood carrying tube-y things under my skin. I think I bruised some stuff. I think the point may have come into contact with a part of my wrist that shouldn't really come into contact with sharp pointy things.
It didn't bleed a lot, but I swear I could see a reverse imprint of the offending metal chunk.

Like play-doh.

Note: a quarter inch long little machined cones of metal don't sound so scary.
Until you plunge one into your wrist below your thumb.

It hurts.

It throbs.

It wakes your ass up at night.

Don't do it.

Self-crucifixion is best left to um... other folks.

Hope everything is ok. That does NOT sound like fun.

hotreds · 12-28-2009, 09:21 PM

Ouch, babe!

TonySmith · 12-28-2009, 09:28 PM

Better to light a candle, rather than curse the darkness.

Glad you weren't hurt more.

TripleF · 12-28-2009, 09:33 PM

Made me whince.......

MajorCaptSilly · 12-28-2009, 09:37 PM

Okay. self-crucifixion is bad. I'll make a note of it. Thanks for blazing that trail for me, Pete. You are a close personal friend and I respect your opinion.

Seriously, heal up fast and let the Stigmata jokes commence!

RevSmoke · 12-28-2009, 09:40 PM

Ouch! Will pray for speedy healing - and the disappearance of pain.

gbum · 12-28-2009, 09:55 PM

MedicCook · 12-28-2009, 10:56 PM

I was just saying the other day I am in need of a good self-crucifixion of a body part. Thanks for the advice. I will skip using my wrist.

Hope you heal quickly.

Please, no pics...

Glad you are ok. That could have been even worse.

macpappy · 12-29-2009, 05:37 AM

After that I would have forgotten the beer and gone straight to the bourbon to kill the pain.

68TriShield · 12-29-2009, 05:48 AM

I was wondering where you were last night Pete. You might want to get a shot before it gets infected.(Just ask Tom

)

Fishbeadtwo · 12-28-2009, 11:01 PM

Hmmmmmm, just when I thought yo were a smart feller Pete. Hope it heals fast and you don't go for a second helping......

Coach Deg · 12-29-2009, 06:20 AM

I just walked the set of speaker stands I had stacked next to
my kegerator out to the trash! Ouch! Prayers for a speedy recovery!

SNKBYT · 12-29-2009, 07:01 AM

I told ya you were ready for a thicker set of glasses

hope recovery is quick and watch your step

12-29-2009, 07:21 AM

Stigmata is one thing; this does not apply in this case, although, if you'd care to do it to the other respective body parts, the Vatican may be interested.

Meh, 15 minutes of fame at least...and 15 billion P'Od people after

Godspeed, and for His sake, don't drink at night...or do what I'd do, and put the kegerator right beside your bed

Blueface · 12-29-2009, 07:23 AM

Pete,
Hope you are a OK. Doesn't sound like it was fun at all.
