I love pineapples.  They are much better if you actually buy the fruit and cut it up, then canned pineapple.

[mmeeshal]

Agreed.  I'll eat it either way, because I love it so much, but getting it as fresh as possible is best.  My mom prefers that method. :D

 

You know, one thing that is always better homegrown is tomatoes.  No lie, I have NEVER had a tomato from the store that tasted as good as the ones we grow in our garden.  EVER.

[Locke]

It's that way with most foods it seems.  Better fresh.

[mmeeshal]

Tis true. And it's usually healthier that way, too. :D

[Locke]

*ACTION!*  ?????????????????????????????

 

haHA!

[mmeeshal]

QUESTION-MARK ATTACK!  AHHHH!

 

*runs*

[Locke]

I was using the question marks because I was confused about what I did.

[mmeeshal]

*opens Eebs' head and peers inside with a glowing ball of light hovering over her shoulder*

 

It LOOKS all right...

[Locke]

That's a bad sign.

[mmeeshal]

*grabs a smiley-face sticker and drops it on the brain*

 

How's that?

[Locke]

Ahhhh, much better. :)

[mmeeshal]

*holds up an inner tube*

 

This too?

[Locke]

Is it for a river?

[mmeeshal]

Well, it was supposed to be for your brain, but a river works too.

[Locke]

Cause I like inner tubing down rivers.  Once, when I was doing it with my brother, there could have been a tragic accident, but my lack of skill saved us. ;D

[mmeeshal]

Sounds like an interesting story. :D

 

I've never done it, myself.  I've canoed, but that's it.

[Locke]

Alright, then I'll indulge you. ;)

 

So my brother and I were tubing down the La Crosse river (we even had our own little theme song :D ) and there were some mini rapids up ahead.  My brother started heading to the right a bit and told me to follow him, but I couldn't get my inner tube to move to the right so he came back to the left.  As we went over the mini waterfall at the beginning I noticed a nasty spike sticking out where my brother wanted to go.

[mmeeshal]

*whistles*

 

Wow!  That's pretty neat!  Guess someone was watching out for you both, eh? ;)

[Vanion]

Either that or Locke just ruined the Divine Plan.

 

...Way to throw a wrench in God's works!

[Locke]

*IGNORES VANION*  (ignoring with caps is such an idiotic thing :D )

 

I'm actually a little surprised I'm not dead and that I've only ever had one serious injury. (broken leg)  And to think that that was one time, when I WASN'T really being risky.  Just a freak accident.

[mmeeshal]

That's the way it usually happens, bro. :D

 

I broke two of my toes when I was 11 by jumping off a bunk bed--they got caught between the mattress and the sideboard-thing, and twisted 180 degrees and snapped.

 

I also fractured a toe this summer by dropping a vacuum on it, and then (a few days later) two skillets (simultaneously).  Well, it wasn't the toe-toe, it was the metatarsal.

 

And, from that lovely dull accident comes me having to do physical therapy for the tendons in my ankle. ::)

 

Point being....that's the way it usually happens, bro.

[Locke]

*winces*  That sounds painful.

 

 

[Al Jenn Mael]

Can't say I've broken a bone. I have scraped off most of my body somewhere at one point or another. I'm quite lucky I've made it this far without dieing, but that is life.

 

Stay as safe as you can, having as much fun in life as you can!

[Locke]

Indeed.
