I showed my kids and was mildly disturbed when my 10-year-old son started laughing uncontrollably while watching it. And kept laughing. And kept... laughing. He's "mine by blood" and the other kids are from my wife's first marriage. Hmm... :-) I think he'll quit laughing soon. Just sent him to bed a few minutes ago.

I wouldn't be too disturbed by his reaction: you and I grew up around Monty Python, etc, and we turned out just fine.. (well, you did anyway :)

Sorry to hear that, John. I did not know and hope my joke did not offend you.

No offence taken. I'm the idiot who did it, and it's ended fairly well. I can still hitch-hike in both directions. :)

Well, you have a good attitude about it, that's for sure. You know your way around bugs, so hopefully you won't have to ever hitch-hike :) Lifting a beer must be hard - as you said - but you can always get one of those beer hats, right :) I can only imagine what missing a thumb is like -- tools must be hard to deal with. How did that happen, if you don't mind me asking?

It is sewn back together and looks good, but can't be bent and what parts don't hurt, don't work. A classic table-saw kickback and reaction injury.

Ouch!! That's the stuff my nightmares are made up of because I use mine all the time. (The guard was the first thing I took - eventho that may help in a kickback) It must be frustrating now, but I am sure you'll find your way back to being able to do what you used to do. It will take some adapting, but with your good attitude, you'll get there.

I know it is too little, too late, but this could have kept that injury from happening...

Is it my imagination or did someone just say John has a good attitude? :-)
