I bent my wookiee

[generic_screenname]

The past couple of days I've had a few close calls with icy patches on the sidewalk, so I guess it was only a matter of time before I finally ended up sprawled out on the pavement. This morning I slipped in the park and landed on the right side of my back. I got up after a few seconds, but my chest, back and right knee are sore. Also, I kinda dented my (er, the company's) laptop. But it works fine, since I'm using it.

[scrape_medic]

your wookiee???

[DRD2001]

Wookie???

Is your wookie tall and hairy, like a walking carpet?

[scrape_medic]

Seems strange that there is more concern about the wookiee than g_s's chest, back and right knee....

Hope you feel better soon g_s

[generic_screenname]

sigh...that's what Ralph said when he fell down on top of his Star Wars diorama.

I beat the smart kids! I beat the smart kids! Ow...I bent my wookiee.

I'm in pain. Humor me.

[I-am-so-Johns-girl]

Poor g_s! :( Here's a :hug2: to make you feel better! :D
Maybe Santa :santa: will bring you some of those thingies you strap to the bottom of your shoes to keep you from slipping. :yes:

[Mazinkaiser]

I was really afraid when I saw the thread title.

[DRD2001]

Sorry you feel bad. Hopefully it will only be a few bruises that won't affect anything long term.



BTW, who is Ralph?

[generic_screenname]

Thank you. And scrape_medic, too. Sheesh. What's with the rest of you. Can't even spell "wookiee."

[Mazinkaiser]

Not that it matters, but a few years ago I slipped and grabbed g_s' jacket (he was walking next to me) but instead of helping me, he pushed me off.

[generic_screenname]

You were going to pull me down with you. You couldn't find anything sturdier to grab?

Also, it was funny. And I KNOW you laughed when you read this, you bastard.

[Mazinkaiser]

who, me? :flee:

[Nicola]

:spew:

[Mazinkaiser]

I'll admit it, I had a little laugh... but only after I read you were okay.

[generic_screenname]

Some Asain guy was doing kung fu or something and saw the whole thing, but he didn't help, he just kept swinging his arms around and making weird noises.

[Mazinkaiser]

At least he didn't laugh like you did when I fell.

I have GOT to visit Quincy before I die.

[generic_screenname]

This was in Boston. There's a bunch of people who do, not king fu, but some kind of martial arts exercise thing every morning, no matter the weather.

[La Bomba]

You've got your own little world up there, g_s and maz.

[BaseLine]

This was in Boston. There's a bunch of people who do, not king fu, but some kind of martial arts exercise thing every morning, no matter the weather.

That's Tai Chi. A Chinese system of slow meditative physical exercise designed for relaxation, balance and health.

[generic_screenname]

Yeah. It was that.

[NYPinTA]

Sorry you fell.
:snicker:
Really.
Maybe you should try that Tai Chi.

[generic_screenname]

I'm drinking Chai. Does that count?

[Mazinkaiser]

Sorry you fell.
:snicker:
Really.

:lol

Can't you just picture it? oh the humanity ;)

[LiLOrion]

I have that Ralph Wiggum "I bent my wookie" t-shirt. :lol


At least you didnt fall in front of a bus load of people as you stepped off the bus. I saw a guy do that before. :lol

[trinamick]

I'm not laughing. No really, I'm not. Well, ok, maybe just a little. I almost didn't click on this thread after seeing the title, cuz I think I've had enough trauma this week. :eek: I feel terribly about your injuries. :snicker: But the image in my head of you flailing about while Tai Chi'ers just watched was well worth it.

[Mazinkaiser]

If g_s falls in Boston, does he make a sound?

[generic_screenname]

Great. Since I was up all night watching football, all I can think of is having my fall replayed over and over with commentary by John Madden and Al Michaels.

[generic_screenname]

Hey, anything to help ease your trama.

[Mazinkaiser]

Nah, Al Michaels is too good. Maybe a guy from CBS, "He slipped and fell, it was the situtation."

[Europa]

Broke your Wookie? :eek:

I think you need a pair of these:

[trinamick]

I walked into the assisted living place where my sister works and I decided to stop and see this old lady I know. I knocked and knocked, but her tv was really loud, so I opened the door and yelled. She says, "Oh come in, honey." So I walk in, and there she sits in her chair, smiling...with her shirt hanging completely open, showing her goodies to the world! :gasp: :scare: :faint: I think that's all I can take for one week.

[Mazinkaiser]

:eek:

[malachilenomade]

BTW, who is Ralph?

I believe it is a reference to The Simpsons... either that or A Christmas Story (the only 2 Ralphs I can think of aside from Happy Days and Ralph Malph wouldn't have used the word wookie since Star Wars didn't exist then ;))

[generic_screenname]

Al: There appears to be a man down on the play. It looks like generic_screenname.

John: You hate to see that happen to young graphic designers. Let's see the tape
again. Oh, look at that. Here's the fall right here (draws circle on screen)

Al: Looks like he's able to get up on his own.

John: Yeah, and I tell you what, he's lucky. You have to look out for those ice patches. See, right there. His foot is just touching the ice, but it's enough for a down.

Al: That was a close call.

John: Yeah, I tell you what. They used to put stickum on their cleats, but...

Al: Wait...what? When did they ever put stickum on their cleats?

John: Well...see...the, um...(waves hands at Al) FOOTBALL!!!

As mentioned earlier, is from the Simpsons, but there is a Christmas Story quote that would fit: "Randy lay there like a slug. It was his only defense."

[Mazinkaiser]

g_s has fallen, and he can't get up.

[generic_screenname]

My brother has seen my grandmother naked. He doesn't talk much about it...

[malachilenomade]

I saw my great grandmother partially naked once... all I can remember is that I saw her... not what I saw... thank God for the mental wiping! :eek:

[Mazinkaiser]

gah! change of subject....

[NYPinTA]

Yeah. Lets get back to making fun of g_s falling down.

[Mazinkaiser]

yes, thats much more fun.

[generic_screenname]

My chest still hurts. But I fell on my back. I don't get it.

[NYPinTA]

That is odd.


At least you didnt fall in front of a bus load of people as you stepped off the bus. I saw a guy do that before. :lol

I've done that. First day of High School. I hit the star football player on my way down too. That was... great. :rolleyes: :lol Then at the first school dance, I knocked another football player down. The biggest one too.

[Kurt_eh]

If g_s falls in Boston, does he make a sound?


Probably sounds like this: http://www.pusboil.com/wookie.wav

I don't know how nasty that fall of yours was, but if it keeps hurting badly, you should go and see a doctor. But you probably figured that one out by now.

[La Bomba]

:spew:

[JadeScape]

that you said woobie.....:lol
line from Mr. Mom:
I understand that you little guys start out with your woobies and you think they're great... and they are, they are terrific. But pretty soon, a woobie isn't enough. You're out on the street trying to score an electric blanket, or maybe a quilt. And the next thing you know, you're strung out on bedspreads Ken. That's serious.

I guess it would be safer than breaking your butt :D ....I hope you feel better soon...:hug:

[Mazinkaiser]

Probably sounds like this: http://www.pusboil.com/wookie.wav

Thats how he sounded AFTER the fall.

[LiLOrion]

I've done that. First day of High School. I hit the star football player on my way down too. That was... great. :rolleyes: :lol Then at the first school dance, I knocked another football player down. The biggest one too.

You should have signed up for the football team - as a tackle. :lol

[LiLOrion]

My chest still hurts. But I fell on my back. I don't get it.

You could have hurt your ribs. Thats not a pleasent injury to have. Though the pain medicine is fun. :D

[generic_screenname]

It feels better now. Seven hours later.

[trinamick]

:lol I was listening to that clip and my boss walked into my office. He gave me the weirdest look and said, "Was that you?" I couldn't admit that I was playing around again, so I just said, "Was what me?" :innocent: I think he's worried that he's hearing voices now. :elol:

[generic_screenname]

I just now got an office. Yup, I have my own office. Well, me and another guy. But we have the best view.

[who45]

There is never a dull moment around you is there g_s :P

[generic_screenname]

I had a dark period back in the day, but I guess that was pretty eventful, too.

:spew:

Am I the only one who heard the voices of John Madden and Al Michaels in my head as I was reading this??

[I-am-so-Johns-girl]

I just now got an office. Yup, I have my own office. Well, me and another guy. But we have the best view.
:applaud: Congrats g_s! Picture?

*The other guy isn't Joe is it? :eek2:

[generic_screenname]

I've got pictures I'll put up when the develop. I have one of those phones that takes pictures, but you've got to email them to some page and put in a password to get to them and I don't feel like doing all that.

Joe is in his own office. And both our offices have doors. Yay!

[DRD2001]

:cry2: No more Joe stories. Dang! I did so enjoy reading about how he made you cringe and all the annoying things he said and did.


Good bye Joe, we'll miss you tormenting g_s.

[generic_screenname]

Don't worry. The color printer is in my office, so he'll be in here all the time.

[Mazinkaiser]

Anything exciting happen today? The Tai Chi guy didn't laugh as you walked by? no homeless guy sang "generic_screename is Falling Down"?

[generic_screenname]

No, but right now I can hear Joe rattling off all the different Law & Order's from his office.

[Mazinkaiser]

Law & Order should do an episode on you tragic fall.

[La Bomba]

Or America's funniest home videos.

[generic_screenname]

Law & Order should do an episode on you tragic fall.

Law & Order, huh? I fell in the park. Would they take a chipmonk in for questioning?

[Mazinkaiser]

They would sue the city of Boston for not salting the sidewalks and walkways. They would bring in the Tai Chi guy for questioning.

[generic_screenname]

Hey isn't it chipmunk, with a "u?" I guess this particular one is a memeber of a holy order of chip monks.

[Mazinkaiser]

He might be one of the Bulletproof Monks

[Lord Loser]

That's what SHE said!

[NYPinTA]

Hey isn't it chipmunk, with a "u?" I guess this particular one is a memeber of a holy order of chip monks.

Like Chip and Dale? I think cuz you fell in the park it would be their jurisdiction...

[Mazinkaiser]

I liked Chip and Dale as a kid, then they became Rescue Rangers or some such thing.

[DRD2001]

I once saw the Chippendale's dancers. :lech: I'd gladly walk through any park they were hanging out in.

[LiLOrion]

I'd gladly walk through any park they were hanging out in.


Do you mean "hanging out" or like "hanging out" :lol

[DRD2001]

Do you mean "hanging out" or like "hanging out" :lol
Hmmm, how to respond without getting banned?

[hmissesh]

I see Chip as the "Bad Cop"

Dale's kinda goofy-I dont see him playing that bad cop routine too cleanly.

[Mazinkaiser]

I once saw the Chippendale's dancers. :lech: I'd gladly walk through any park they were hanging out in.

I now have an image of g_s falling in front of the Tai Chi guy, while on the other side the Cheppendales dance. :eek:

[DRD 1812]

Hope you're feeling alright g_s. We can just say that the damn wookie made you slip. My driveway was infested with ice on sunday. Let's just say that me and the dog literally slid down to the sidewalk.

[I-am-so-Johns-girl]

Do you mean "hanging out" or like "hanging out" :lol
You guys are killing me here! :rollin:

[AgentSun]

poor g_s!

but i don't want to know what you are calling the wookie. i don't want to know.

[LiLOrion]

I now have an image of g_s falling in front of the Tai Chi guy, while on the other side the Cheppendales dance. :eek:


Chippendales dont dance - they grind...the air. :lol

[trinamick]

I'd let them be my Rescue Rangers. I've got uniforms they could wear too.

[Mazinkaiser]

Chip and Dale or the Chippendales?

[DRD2001]

Chippendales dont dance - they grind...the air. :lol
Ooo, and they have this routine involving a bottle of baby oil that they ... shake... and ... shake...



Really good routine




Yeah, really good. :D

[Mazinkaiser]

maybe we should talk some more about g_s falling.
