Heeeeeeeyyyyy...what happened to my Penguin posts?

     

Speaking of health care, hopefully for this guy's sake America is one of the leaders in groin care. Hockey player in playoffs gets drilled by a puck, and might even lose a testicle.

A buddy of mine my freshman year at SJU was playing goalie for the LAX team. Against recommendations by his coaches and teammates, he decided against wearing a cup.

Well, it caught up to my buddy when he took a ball directly to the... ummm... ball. He had to get it surgically removed.


The night we all found out about this, we were drinking a few beers and after a shot or two, another buddy, we'll call him "Dick" fessed up to the following:

When Dick was a senior in high school, he was at a party and got to drinking with some friends. His "friend" says "Hey, Dick, let me hit you in the nuts with this golf club."
Dick replied, "No way."
The buddy countered with "I'll give you $20." Which was apparently all the convincing Dick needed.
Initially Dick doubled over and was down for a bit, but he got back up and resumed drinking to deal with the pain. The next day, Dick's boys were "swollen to the size of grapefruits."
Dick was too embarrassed to go to a hospital and opted instead to wear sweatpants since jeans were no longer an option. 2 days later the pain and "Rugby ball sized scrotum" made Dick go to the hospital where he was taken to surgery and had 1 and 1/4 testicles removed. 

so he is a 3/4 nut?    What about his bolt?

KS was a catcher when he was 15 and we had a sadistic baseball coach.  He used to have us put a boxing glove on our right hand along with the remaining tools of ignorance.  We would then get into our crouch behind the plate and he would use the pitching machine to fire fastballs into the ground in front of us and make us block the ball.  One day the ball went under my mitt and bounced up to hit me in the cup.  As I lay on the ground in pain he came up, smiled at me and said, "that hurts like a SOB don't it?"  Coach told me to go to the locker room and put some ice on them.  I get to the locker room, take off my sweats and take out the cup, the cup was broken.  I can only imagine what would have happened if I wasn't wearing the cup. 

Coach was sadistic but he would not let four positions on the field without a cup.  Catcher, Pitcher, Third base and First base.  He used to walk around with a baseball in his hand and would use it to give a good nut thump to make sure cups were being worn.

Yep, 3/4. Not sure about the bolt, didn't ask or look.

Since the "bolt" is all soft tissue whereas the testicle is an actual organ, I would assume that the bolt would be less susceptible to a permanent injury so long as the blood supply wasn't compromised.

KR...........maybe yours is ....soft tissue......some of us are pure muscle

My dad sometimes tells the story about his cousin that lost a nut.  Flash's pic reminds me of it.

[OzJohnnie]

Now here's tough one.  Do we condemn it or raise a cheer and ask where this class was when we went to school?

So when W and 3/4 of congress say there are WMD's in Iraq, you don't believe it and complain like heck that he did anything about it, yet when he says global warming is true, it's gospel???

Must be nice to get to pick and choose what "truths" you want to believe.

In the interest of good will I will refrain from posting my thoughts on the first statement and it's relationship to the second.

Not entirely sure, but I think this may still be the health care debate!

[Mr. Ypsi]

I wish to apologize to Oz (and all others) for the 'King George', etc., reference.  I don't retract it, because that is the way I see it, but it was unnecessarily provocative and distracted from the real debate (as evidenced that no one has responded to the points I made in that or nearby posts).  I was responding to what I see as a gross oversimplification (and ofttimes inaccurate) assertion that government programs are inevitably less efficient than the private sector.  Includng FEMA raised my hackles, as I'm still angry (could you tell? ) about one of the most blithely oblivious statements in modern history ("Heck of a job, Brownie!"), as one of my favorite cities was being nearly destroyed.  I will still contend that FEMA (pre-spoils system cronyism) WAS an efficient and effective organization; likewise that the USPS is (except for time-urgent emergency situations) a vastly better deal than its competitors, and I still like PBS!

I'll also refrain from any more Al Gore references, but using the "I invented the internet" canard is a provocation I'm not mature enough to ignore!

How are the spring sports fairing in the northwoods?  The IIAC is having some issues with the weather and having games constantly moved or post poned. 

Are you schools facing these same issues?
