32 Stitches and a Ceiling Fan
 

OK, so much earlier today I was in a rather exuberant mood for whatever reason... and I decided to go outside... the reason why I did that also eludes me at this point... well anyway... there's a step and a ceiling fan in my back porch and I kind of jumped into my back porch rather hard... hitting my head on the (moving) ceiling fan. Sadly, the first thing I did was go on IRC for medical advice. Later I went to the hospital, and 32 stitches later I'm good as new... ish. If you're having trouble visualising this, here is my highly-accurate, 3-color MSPaint portrayal of the incident:

You think that's bad? I've had run-ins with ceiling fans and I never had more than one foot off the ground.

But seriously, I hope you're doing fine and feeling well enough to post pictures of your stitches :)

You know you have a problem when the first thing you do after busting your head open is go onto IRC.

KW!!! You used to be my hero! WTF?!?!?

Anyway, I hope You are/will be OK!

WHY???

Ouch, so very very ouch. 32 stitches worth of ouch even.

sorry 'bout the bad trip man.

hope you'll be allright.

*lord knows the boy is messed up alresdy....maybe this'll help*

good luck dude.

Wtf? What kind of fan do you have? I've hit my head on those suckers before, and they never even left a bruise...

Yeah, hope you're o.k.

Next time, toss the cat in ahead of you to make sure it's safe.

heh...

I'm doing just fine by the way... my digicam basically died today so don't expect stitch pics, though :(

And richeee, I can still be your hero. Don't worry. The good I've done by far counterbalances this.

KWSN: That graphic you've provided, I'm sorry to have to point out, is a direct plagiarizing of the work of early Italian Renaissance painter Piero della Francesca, during his "bloody ceiling fan period".

That's what you get for going outside.

Man, getting getting on IRC while bleeding profusly, that is hardcore.

thats from the Something Awful Forums MrSelfDestruct I'm impressed!!

Are you sure it wasn't his exhuberant jumping period, crackpot? It was somewhat later in life. It could be easily confused.

I was in #tfp when it happened. Situational comedy at its best.

I'm glad you are ok.

hell ya peet. You had me rollin over that one kdub.

IRC help me for I am on the floor.

Come pick me up.

Heal quickly BTW.

Forget about IRC, I want to know how fast you had that picture drawn and thread posted.

Being that it's your house and all, did the thought occour NOT to jump off the stairs?

Hope you heal fast ... and maybe scootch that fan over a bit.

Well, I suppose it's not as extreme as posting on TFP and waiting for replies after breaking your penis, but still ...

but is the FAN ok ?

This is almost like the time I stuck my Penis in the moving tr-...
Oh wait, That's nothing like this.

As KWSN's squire, I must say that I was first troubled by his news that he had been mauled by the fericious whirling blades of doom. But apun more thinking, I relize that KWSN always does things for a reason. He has made us all aware of the dangers of leaping off stairs near revolving objects.

God Bless you, KWSN

Yes, the fan won this battle.

wow that must've hurt

I saw a guy on tv who stops fans with his head. He just plows into them. :( And btw, that's only 2 colors.

Too bad this wasnt caught on video tape. You could make a television show called "When ceiling fans attack!"
