Stupid strikes again!
What do you get when you decide to cut towards instead of away from yourself? These pictures show it clearly...you get a pair of shears buried into your fore arm, and an emergency room full of doctors wondering if you need Psych. clearance after your suicide attempt.
Mom taught me not to run with scissors, but she never said anything about running scissors into my self.
Now I sit here watching the whole thing turn ever more purple, thankful every minute that it was a minor injury. I managed to miss the arteries and tendons, but because of the depth of the puncture, I have deep bruising and pain when I attempt to support myself on the bars while riding. I will have to raise my bars considerably in order to keep training (must take some weight off my hands).
Learn from your idiot friend: Sharp objects and shellfish can totally ruin a party. Cold lobster is not very good. Emergency rooms are crowded on a Saturday night. And your family needs you, so take care of yourself!

Nice
Wow what an idiot. Sorry man but that sucks. I could see myself doing that when I'm completly wasted but sober, I dont know, I learned long ago you always cut away from yourself. I've cut myself a time or two with a knife but never jammed a pair of scissors in my arm. Glad you didnt kill yourself!
Yeah, but...
I can still drop a dog on my single speed....who said I was sober?
Right,
and I can jump three hundred feet in that air and land tomb raider style. You might be able to on that little lightspeed but I know for a fact you aint doin shit on the Monkey. You'd be run down and eating alive before those little legs of yours could even lay down the hammer. But seriously, you can't outrun dogs on a 19 tooth singlespeed MTB. Just aint happening.

That is why I run an 18.
Guess, I will have to post video? Wanna hold the camera?
Its on
You bring your little 18 tooth cog out and we'll find some dogs to run with. You know the average speed of a dog is twenty miles per hour. They cant run that fast for long but in order to hit 20 mph on your singlespeed would be very difficult, ecpecially holding that speed. On a downhill, yes, but on flat, not happening.
It was a joke...
You know...like....you hold the camera while I ride...the dog eats you, and I ride away? ha ha?
But since you bring it up....
At 51.5 gear inches (ratio on my MTB), I only need to spin at 135 RPM to achieve a little over 20 MPH. I would be happy to show you how easy that is to do, any time you like. Factor in the head start you get on a dog (assuming that you are alert, and notice the dog barking before it is on your leg), and you should fair well against most dogs...seriously.
Now, racing greyhounds and whippets can actually hold close to 35 MPH for about a minute...I bet one of those could catch me.
It may sound like I am throwing around a lot of ego...I sincerely do not intend that...well....at least not in this post. I just think that most people freak out too much around dogs. If they would just enact the "flight" reflex and leave the "fight" reflex in the bag, they would come out on top more often than not. If the dog still catches you when you try the "flight" thing, I think you were doomed either way.
