“The 12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaway: Day 25
On the Twenty-Fifth Day After Christmas (or is it the first Day of Martin Luther King Jr. Day?), Macenstein gave to you (or, more accurately, gave you a chance to win…) an Elevator Desktop Stand for Personal Computers from Griffin!
I love this thing. Not only does it look cool and help show off your laptop, it actually serves a couple legitimate purposes as well. The Elevator lifts your laptop off your desk, allowing you to reclaim valuable desktop space, while at the same time raising the screen to a more comfortable, ergonomically friendly viewing height. And, by “elevating” your laptop, you also allow for a 360Ëš airflow which will help keep your computer running cooler (and as any MacBook owner knows, Macs may look cool, but they don’t run cool). Elevator’s sturdy brushed aluminum and minimal design go great with any desk decor, and Elevator holds your portable computer safely and securely at just the right height to match external monitors – and to save your aching neck.
To enter: Speaking of neck strain, this morning I took a comically bad face plant while sledding and really hurt my neck (sorry, no video, but it basically looked like this). So to enter this contest, simply leave us a comment telling us what is the worst injury you have ever sustained? Winners will be picked randomly 7 days later and notified (kind of like in The Ring, only with less killing… we hope). Open to all readers world-wide. Good luck, and thanks for reading Macenstein! (Oh, and be sure to enter ALL our “12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaways!)
Please note: Comments may take a while to show up, please do not double-post. Thanks!
fell off a scooter and ripped the skin of my knuckles. It hurt and it burned reall bad.
Broken leg by skate boarding.
papercut
Gave my knees a good bang when I totaled a car.
A broken rib… pain for years… and nothing you can do.
When I burned myself with hot glue
Everything I’ve ever hurt has healed. I can’t complain much. But the one that hurt the most was a badly broken heart.
I fell off my bike when I was about 12, and it hurt like a ***** !!
P.S: autocensored ^_^
back pain
We swapped bikes with my friend once when we were in elementary school. His brakes worked in a different way, and I had the habit of braking just centimeters before iron door to our house.
Well, I ended up in a hospital with bad head injury and had to stay there for a while.
I broke my middle finger 3 times in High School
The worst injury I’ve ever had was a broken arm. I’ve broken both of my arms, one once (I believe it was the right one) and (I believe) the left one twice. All three times happened on roller blades. Needless to say I don’t roller blade any more.
I’ve never hurt a bone snowmobiling though. Go figure.
The worst… when I was young I fell so hard that I cut my chin on the floor… The impact was really big to let that happen… But here I am LOL!
no broken bones so far…
A day I lost a molar (naturally?), I was chewing a gumball on the other side of my mouth. I kept coming across a hard piece of the gumball. It just wouldn’t get soft. The hint of blood clued me to the new gap in my mouth: there was a molar (#2!) stuck in the wad of gum!
Having two fresh, bloody, gummy gaps on both sides of your mouth does not make for happy eating 🙁
I got really embarrassed when I got caught making out naked with my girlfriend, until her father hit me and shoved me out of their house.
Does Pneumonia count? That was the worst I ever had to endure… If only physical injuries count, it’d be the torn ligament in my left foot.
I broke both of my legs on multiple spots… Crack… it took me 3-4 months to recover from that one… it was even so bad, in september i begin with a college for fysiotherapists
Slipping on the ice. My first real winter in VA. I was sliding on some ice while in my ‘A’ School in the Navy. I slipped, spun around, fell on my chin, and bit through my bottom lip.
I graduated two days later, unable to speak, with the base captain chuckling at me.
Yep. Good times.
I broke my left wirst which is suck cause i’m left handed.
Cut my upper lip open – 3 cm (1.2 inch) deep tear. It was a fold-out ladder that somehow collapsed while I was standing on it… Blood everywhere.. :-/
i cut the tip of my finger on some glass a few days ago and it still kinda hurts 🙁
chased my brother into a door frame when i was a child.
Lacerated my scalp. Blood everywhere ;p
long boarded into a wall
I broke my pinky by rolling myself onto it while I was sleeping. Don’t know how I managed that..
When playing Paintball, I was sprinting up on a group of people from the side, took out about 6 of them, tripped got a thin piece of rebar about 3 inches into my leg. Not only that, the remaining 2 newbies that I already tagged out (in the goggles no less), run up to me and shoot me point blank giving me nasty hickie looking welts on my collar bone.
Broken neck bone.
Survived. 😀
Kicked in the side of my left knee
I got hit by two cars in a row once.
I was very lucky to walk away, but no major injuries sustained.
Had a broken fingernail, no nail-clipper, pulled it out myself, tore out a tiny part of skin along with it, it got infected the next day, was very painful and lasted five days. Man, that was bad.
Did i win?
broke my little finger once… thats about it.
Borked nose three times. Snowboarding Skateboarding Soccer.
Broke my collar bone is pretty much the worst that’s happened to me 🙂
had my ribs smash in and nearly pierce my organs after flying off my bike (while off – roading) and hitting a (vertical) tree at an angle nearly parallel to the floor (think of a ‘+’ sign… ). it hurt. trust me.
i did break my head open once while trying to do a cartwheel to impress a girl in 5th grade, unfortunately my shoe was untied (its cliche, i know, but our parents weren’t lying about tying our shoes)
If operations count, I had my gall bladder removed just a month ago.
Proud owner of three scars now.
Fortunately my worst injury was a sprained ankle, that was a couple months ago, But It’s still not completely better.
I broke my thumb nail…
A spot of skin from my right big toe… from a broken tile at a public swimming pool. I never swam in that pool again. My toe needed seven stitches. 🙂
Hit my head jumping off some stairs
During sex, my ex was riding me and apparently got a little over excited and slipped out and bent my penis.
I broke my leg … while doing a piruet ant dancing lessons
Spiral fracture of the tibia while downhill skiing
Shoulder dislocation… 7 times.
Not too exciting, I tore a ligament.
i got my fingers stuck in the gates, numbed for days.
Bicycle accident. Literally lost half my face for a month. It looked really gross.
Blow to the head because police here do not respect freedom of assembly when you’re condemning political abductions by the military. Nothing broken; 4 stitches.
Hit on jaw with a baseball!
I once broke my jawbone during a soccermatch..
That’s about the worst I had, as far as I remember.
