32 Stitches and a Ceiling Fan - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

KWSN · 07-28-2003, 08:05 PM

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

spectre · 07-28-2003, 08:10 PM

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

richeee · 07-28-2003, 08:14 PM

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

Anyway, I hope You are/will be OK!

WHY???

numberfive · 07-28-2003, 08:16 PM

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

Fly · 07-28-2003, 08:17 PM

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.

pavel_lishin · 07-28-2003, 08:18 PM

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

grumpyolddude · 07-28-2003, 08:18 PM

Yeah, hope you're o.k.

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

KWSN · 07-28-2003, 08:26 PM

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".

Snoogans · 07-29-2003, 02:18 AM

That's what you get for going outside.

Pennington · 07-29-2003, 02:49 AM

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

YourNeverThere · 07-29-2003, 04:45 AM

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

tinfoil · 07-29-2003, 05:00 AM

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

Peetster · 07-29-2003, 05:01 AM

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

I'm glad you are ok.

shalafi · 07-29-2003, 05:39 AM

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

cchris · 07-29-2003, 06:31 AM

IRC help me for I am on the floor.

Come pick me up.

Heal quickly BTW.

Sticky · 07-29-2003, 06:41 AM

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

GSRIDER · 07-29-2003, 06:48 AM

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.

MSD · 07-29-2003, 09:19 AM

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

seethreepo · 07-29-2003, 09:30 AM

but is the FAN ok ?

Spinach_Indeed · 07-29-2003, 09:32 AM

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.

sub zero · 07-29-2003, 03:38 PM

wow that must've hurt

Munku · 07-29-2003, 04:42 PM

I saw a guy on tv who stops fans with his head. He just plows into them.

And btw, that's only 2 colors.

Cobalt_60 · 07-29-2003, 05:19 PM

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