Washing machine almost crushed my head against a wall.How did YOU almost die, Glen.
Fighting this bad dude, worst dude I ever met---he killed my mentor, and was holding friends hostage. In the middle of the fight, he screams he's my father. My hand gets cut off, and I about fall to my death---but fortunately catch myself near the bottom, and as luck would have it my escaping friends saw my hanging there and come to my rescue. Got my revenge later on.
lol. Not exactly what happened. But really on this course if you hook the ball, it's in the road. Not uncommon at all
probably the same reason he ***** himself a couple of times a year. Disability FTL
I've been in two really bad wrecks, one where the other driver died. I also swallowed a peanut when I was an infant that collapse my lung. My mom did for on me until the ambulance arrived and that saved my life.
Hey!
Shart-free since 10/30/2015, I'll have you know. Though I suppose the years of sharts prior to this average it out to a few bombs per year.
The latest would be a day of drinking and a Waffle House pork chop. I had to teach a guy to do the Heimlich Maneuver while I was choking. That is when I realized I was pretty good at this Instructor gig.
My buddy said to me later "Waffle House pork chops are good, but they ain't worth dying for."
I did have a "slight" case of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome once, did not kill me obviously, but I did truly want to die.
Almost drowned twice as a little kid... Those old Ski Belt life preserver thingys were not such a great idea.
Got shot at one night by some girl's mom. But luckily I got behind a round hay bale in time.
Too many others to list. Needless to say, I have had a good time over the years.
I am 52 now, I told my family and friends years ago "If I die today you can honestly say, He lived a full life."

At Dixie Tavern on campus. crackhead pulls a gun on my GF at the time and then shoves it in my face when I lean up. I grab it and put my hand over the hammer and turn it back on her. I couldn't get it out of her hands to save my life and I'm not small. Crackheads have some serious strength when they want to.
I ate so much listeria tainted blue bell.
Some of you all need to seriously consider carrying. I always have at least a knife on me.
Willy, why did you get down in the execution position? Never understood why people would do that.

Is it safe to say that you've studied the blade, roguemurse?
And yeah, I don't know, but maybe it's because someone holding a f**king gun to his head told him to?

Dude, that is badass. How many people have you stabbed? I've always thought that would be so cool to stab somebody in a fight. Just split their guts right out.
[laughing] -- yeah Willy, you big *****, why didn't you just execute a simple disarm and make your assailant get on his knees? It's so easy even a bartender could do it...

Winter of 1985. I worked at my dad's welding/machine shop. Guy brought in a transmission with a broken aluminum housing. We lifted it out of the bed of his truck and set it in floor. Told him to come back in a few hours and I'd have it ready for him.
After he left I thought no, I'm not working on this thing in the floor, so I picked it up alone and set it on a worktable for easier access. Walked over to get the welding lead and ground cables. Didn't have my welding gloves on. Two steps back to the table I suddenly had 220 volts of electricity coursing through my body.
Luckily for me, my dad happened by and saw what was happening and jerked one of the cables out of my hand. Scariest moment of my life, by far.

Pretty simple fellas, a knife only like the most usual tool ever invented. I use it about 5+ times a day for menial things but yes it can be used as a weapon if needed.
Two, you can put a grenade to my head and I'm not getting down in "EXECUTION POSITION" because it's called EXECUTION POSITION, idiots. What usually comes next? Pretty easy to tell someone you can have anything you want but I'm not getting down on my knees and facing away from them to make my murdering easier.
If someone pulls a gun out and wants to go ATM with you, do you just start taking your pants off?

i have two automobile brushes with death, many more brushes with stupidity.
1)prom night 1982 and i "ain't going to no stupid prom" self and another friend decided to hang out and toss down a few beers. things get fuzzy between then and the accident, but at some point i stopped for gas i took a leak while at the pumps, you know, to save time and all. the next thing is figuring out how we got in that ditch and why am i covered in transmission fluid, but whatever. need to get the car out of the ditch and get home. start to cross the two-lane road to walk to payphone and BAM! a toyota 4-WD pick up truck hits me square. knee knocked out the bumper light, two muddy handprints across the hood, and a hole burned through the backside of my pants. nothing broken. a miracle.
2)1982 and driving Mom's new Honda Accord 4-door because i had crashed the Mustang previously. at stop light and light turns green. i hit the gas but did not look because of the green light; mistake. a 1978 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme traveling at 55-60MPH hit me in the drivers door of the Honda. honda slid 145 feet sideways before coming to rest. i was not wearing a seatbelt. when i realized what happened, i climbed out the passenger side and thought WTF... mild concussion. a miracle.

I spent the day with Gary Busey once.
A knife is a sharp object often made of steel that is ground to a fine point. You can use it to cut things like stubborn packaging, or someone's throat. You can even clean your toenails with it. It's a pretty usual tool.

OJ had a knife.
If you have a knife make sure you wear small gloves.
And try them on over other gloves in court.

My family is pretty redneck, we didn't have running water so we had to go to the laundry mat once a week. I have 8 siblings and we would switch out who got to go with mom that Saturday or stay at home and work with dad. Well this was my week to go, my mom drove a big rusty Suburban and while going around a curve too sharp the door popped open and I fell out, I held onto the door handle and ran beside, my mom didn't even realize that this had happened until my brother lunged over the seat and pulled me back in.
After that my mom was pretty shook up so she pulled into the Chase in Richmond in front of where the Peddlars Mall is now, she was double parked so an employee came out to tell her to move so she pulled a knife out of her purse and threatened him with it.
Also this one time I tried to rob Roguemocha.

Lol, ok bud, I'm sure that's the case.
I'd love to see one of those youtube prank channel f-bois pull something like that on you just to see you immediately bend the knee and begin sobbing.

"Yeah, these guys busted into my place, four of them....I was able to incapacitate two easily, but the other two had baseball bats and finally got me down. They pulled me up to my knees, but I stood up. They hit my knees with the baseball bat.....I stood up again. One of them took out a gun. Pointed it right at my head. He screamed..."GTFO YOUR KNEES NOW"....I looked up at him. Spit the blood out of my mouth. I said "I don't kneel for anyone. Kill me." They both looked at each other....and stood me up. "You've got balls....", one of them said. They picked up the other two guys and left my place. They didn't take a thing. After that, I plowed my girlfriend and went swimming. It was dope."

Problem there, as with the chance you take breaking into many people's houses, people own guns, that are loaded. :gun::flushed:
A few years ago I was the first person to come across an accident late at night. Car went off the road, hit a transformer and was just chilling on the side of the road, on the far side of an electrical pole
I parked maybe a football field away and about halfway there the lights on the car start flickering oddly and I think “oh ****, he needs help” so I start running, and I’m maybe 100 feet away when another truck pulls up and the guy throws the door open and yells “POWER LINES” and I freeze.
Luckily, this guy saw the flash when he hit the transformer and drove towards it… and got there just before I ran into live power lines.

Had visited cuz that day. He lives in Anneta, outside Leitchfield. We drove down to Bowling Green early on that particular morning.
The massacre, itself, was indescribable. I'll not further discuss, so don't even ask.

You win. By the way, that plane is still in service according to Wikipedia. Given how I fly in those planes almost every week I'm pretty sure I've been in it.
Age 3-4, I fell off a tractor and my head bounced off the bushog.
Age 12, helping Dad pull a bulldozer out of a sinkhole, chain broke, ricocheted off the dozer blade, and smacked me in the head.
Age 14, drove truck off a bridge, the only place on the truck that wasn't bent was where I was sitting.
Age 21, hit a pothole about 120mph on a motorcycle, ended up in the ditch.
Struck by lightning twice by this point, don't really remember what age. Around 13 and 17.
About three years ago, age 39, fell off a ladder about 12 feet in the air, bounced head off concrete.
2 weeks ago, the steering column came apart on my truck while pulling fully loaded 16' enclosed trailer. It's a screwed up feeling when you try to turn and the truck goes straight. Got it stopped about 2" before hitting a building.
Probably a few more, that's just what I can think of at the moment.

Funny, but similar thing happened to me over at Snowmass. Wasn't XX, but wasn't paying attention on a curve, lost balance & a ski & went head first into aspen grove but missed them all. Pre-helmets times too.
BTW, were you on Xmas Tree?
Other time was on Alligator Alley, two lanes, on Spring Break. Guy I was with was driving & tried to pass a semi behind another car. Well, first car got back over but now we have another semi bearing down on us head on with no chance to get back over. I grabbed the wheel & turned us left off the wrong side of the road. All sand & couldn't see a thing. Wound up about 30 degrees on side with driver front wheel in Everglades swamp.
