There's been a bunch of them about stuff like ladies nights, with varying results. I know the federal one failed, so it's a state by state thing right now.

Massachusetts law says you can't comp drinks and you can't discount drinks during happy hour. So happy hours here are free or cheap food, mostly.

STDH.txt: Tell us your scar stories!

I had a fine scar on my entire right kneecap. It used to look much more impressive, but after years of taking good care of it, it's largely faded (and I have pretty dark skin, so it's even harder to see). I got it from the dumbest thing, though: playing capture the flag at night in the rain and running my rear end off, slipping, and skinning my leg. For some reason, the knee was the only part that got scarred, I guess 'cause it couldn't scab nicely on account of being a knee.

I have a scar under my lower lip.

I have it because when I was about 8 I was swimming in a friends pool and failed at doing butterfly stroke. I came out of the water and bit down hard on the concrete edge of the pool, shattering one of my front teeth which then proceeded to tear through my flesh just below my lower lip. My tooth was entirely destroyed bar a small amount of root and my lip was, luckily, still attached by about 1cm of flesh either side. It's a good thing I have a flash hot dentist because he was able to come in on a Sunday, pull the shards of broken tooth out of the gaping wound in my face/parts of my mouth where they got lodged, file back the jagged edges of the broken tooth and stitch the wound shut so I could get to a hospital to get it properly stitched without bleeding everywhere or the exposed flesh scabbing up. He also has had to replace the crown/fake tooth he has built over what remained a few times in my life as I keep breaking them.

Up to you to decide if this is true of not.

poo poo that happened: I have a pretty decent scar on my calf from getting a mole excised because I was worried it was cancer. It wasn't. My backpack gouged out the scar after I had gotten the stitches out, too.

poo poo that didn't happen: I work with a guy who insists that he:
  • had private drinks with Jack Nicholson (who ushered everyone else out of the room to talk to this guy because he was apparently so entertaining).
  • fought a coyote
  • has been "trained to kill" by the government
  • works with FEMA despite not having a license.

I also used to work with a guy who would come in completely lucid claiming that he just ingested various lethal amounts of drugs and alcohol. "Yeah I just drank like a handle a vodka, took a few percs, I'm still pretty hosed up on the two caps of acid I took this morning dude you know?" That kind of poo poo.

Probably my worst scars come from skinning my knees really badly. I walked briskly out of my local pizza parlor carrying a few boxes and talking to a friend, so I didn't notice the sign the parlor put in the alleyway until I'd already tripped over it. The outer layer of skin was actually ripped from my knees, with a chunk hanging from a strip of flesh on each side. :barf: When we got home, I scrubbed the wounds until they bled again, then I pressed the skin-chunks back on and bandaged everything up. The pizza was okay.

Since we're sharing, my only real scar is two inches long on the palm of my right hand. I went to open a window, pressed out against the glass instead of up against the frame, apparently it's not an uncommon injury. It was only a big deal because it required surgery to repair the nerve that was partially severed. And getting stitches taken out of the palm of your hand hurts a LOT.

In addition to my sick-rear end barbed wire scars on my neck, hands, and forearm (got catapulted out of a friend's homemade five-man bicycle/go-kart contraption into the fence - my brother did the same some weeks later, twice), I also have a nice scar on the palm of my right hand from when I got an IED a rock stuck in it as a kid (I remember it taking up most of my palm and my parents trying to wash it out in the bath tub and failing to pull it out - we ended up driving 45 minutes to the nearest hospital (we lived in the country) to get it pulled out. It looks a lot smaller now of course now that I have regular sized adult hands. :(

Lots of scars on my knees and shins from being clumsy, doing lots of bike riding and wearing impractical footwear as a kid (and generally not bothering to get them looked at so I just came back home or into school and bled happily on the floor until a horrified teacher sent me to the sick bay).

One of my most recent knee scars had a better story behind it. I skinned my knee on the concrete top of a storm water drain walking home from the library (staying with my parents during the summer holidays, working in the library and looking after chooks) because as usual I was wearing shoes that look nice but have no grip. It was pretty gross and bloody and refused to stop bleeding so I actually put a whole bunch of bandaids on it for once. Eventually it was healed up enough that I let it go bandaid-less at night to let it harden up/heal by exposure to air, but then forgot to reapply bandaids the next morning before going up to release the chickens for the day. One of the chooks, Alecto, came running joyously out of her pen, then stopped suddenly... Looked at me, looked very hard at my knee, looked back at me... And then lunged, and took a chunk right out of me. (I saw her swallow something and there was blood on her beak.) There was a lot of swearing involved and for the rest of the day Alecto followed me around in her "hunting" posture.

Anyway, the rest of the wound healed up all right, but there's still a mark there where a chicken ate my flesh. :black101:

Coyotes are solitary animals, and enormous wusses. There are probably bigger and scarier dogs in your neighborhood as housepets. Unless you are a toddler or a small mammal, you are walking away from a coyote fight 10 times out of 10 (and 99,999 times out of 100,000 when you encounter a coyote, there will not be a fight)

Here's a bunch of stupid stuff from imgur. A bunch of idiots in the comments are eating it up.

He said that he was drinking in the woods and the coyote came at him, and he punched it square in the face before grappling with it and driving it off. So yeah, definitely didn't happen. Honestly the guy is a source for an entire thread worth of STDH.

Coyotes can also travel in packs, and it's just about the only time that they are anything even resembling confident. So if a coyote did get mad enough to fight a dude, it probably had like 4-7 other coyotes at its back, and they'd all come in and gently caress your day up. Or it had rabies. A grown rear end man is not really opportunistic prey for something like a coyote, so even if it was weak/old/starving it wouldn't go near you. It might go after like a kid or something, but even that is pretty unlikely.

His nervousness only increased as the queen, an Army driver in wartime, accelerated the Land Rover along the narrow Scottish estate roads, talking all the time. Through his interpreter, the Crown Prince implored the Queen to slow down and concentrate on the road ahead.
