*Rage! so i was happily eating my favorite salmon sashimi with soysauce + wasabi earlier,

why does this have to happen???

I used chopstick to pick up a piece to dip , just as i lean forward to take a bite, the fish
slipped between the chopstick splash right into the bowl of wasabi soysauce.
Which then the sauce went into my face not sure if directly into eye.


You know , i have never felt such an intense pain .

You know, forks are a pretty nice invention.

Not that I don't like using chopsticks, but if your chopstick skills are causing you pain, there's never a better time to conform to the western standard.

If wasabi in the eye is the worst pain you've ever felt, I envy your life.

You'd envy my life......

I haven't broken a single bone in my body EVER.

One time I was cooking with habenero peppers and forgot to wash my hands....before I scratched my eyes.

It really wasnt that bad though....

...see, since most L.E.O.'s have to be qualified with O.C. Spray.

Lady Fortune is watching you. I'd be careful.

This morning I was cutting a bit off a fire warrior and I ended up sticking the blade of my x-acto knife halfway though my left index finger. And I will not sleep tonight due to homework.

In regards to eye injuries, I have a serious phobia regarding blindness. Not the blind, mind you, but rather losing my own vision. I already have terrible eyesight and I'm an art student so basically I'd go insane if I could no longer see artwork.

Me neither, and I'm 29 in May.

Though it's less to do with being plain lucky, and more to do with just being plain rock hard!

Now, my three brushes with death....THOSE were lucky! And it's technically four if you count the reason I was an induced birth.

Though I always stop short of declaring myself invincible....just on the off chance.

Wasabi in eye. Quite possibly the only thing more painful, is giving birth. Just ask your parents. Well, the one that gave birth to you. If your most intense pain is spicy in eye, you are very lucky indeed.

My wife hates how I use my chopsticks. I can use them traditionally with decent effectiveness, but most of the time I use one stick and I spear half a dozen pieces of chicken and eat it off of the stick like a shish kabob.

Bless! So innocent!

I can think of many things a great deal more painful, some of which I have experienced first hand. But those are not for a public messaging board.

The curiosity that killed the cat is rising !

I want to ask MDG what it was xD

Take you pic...

Ruptured Appendix.

Playing with my own tendons following a lost fight with a window and my brother (though that doesn't really count. I was dosed up on Morphine at the time)

Plus others, largely self inflicted in pursuit of erm, higher arts which I shan't say.

The flesh is soft and wielding, the bone is strong and eternal!

LALALA im not seeing / picturing any of this.

Just dont end up like that guy in Hannibal

Nietzche baby!

That which does not destroy you and that.

I may not be invincible, but I'm trying to prove it!

Oh, and following the Arm/Window Interface attempt, I wound up with no feeling in the middle finger, index finger and thumb of my left hand. My best mate Paul, decided he didn't believe me. Nick and Sam distracted me in Chemistry, and Paul tested his theory fairly scientifically, first by stabbing it with a compass, then deciding such pain is easily ignored without flinching, the bugger but the Bunsen on it. First I knew was the smell of scorched flesh....

I beg to differ...

A cracked kneecap is the kind of pain that's capable of inducing vomit. Cracked in half, that is. Not to mention that most of the flesh around it was all but gone, and I tore a ligament in my knee to top it off. To this day, I still have no feeling in more than half of my left knee after it finished healing.

Skateboarding is probably the best (or worst) way you can willingly injure yourself.

I dunno. I'm not pansy enough to have broken any bones, despite a mispent youth shinnying up trees, and promptly falling out them, rock climbing, potholing, extremely aggresive fights with my brother...

Ah, ruptured appendixes, that takes me back. I concur, it's about the least amount of fun I've ever had.

Mine burst during the first paper of my History GCSE.

BAstards wouldn't let me out the hall, despite having screeched in agony and fallen off my chair....

Mine when I was seventeen. I had felt awful the day before and the night before it happened I looked through a medical book my parents had and found an index of symptoms. I matched my symptoms with a page number and low and behold: appendicitis. I woke up my parents and asked to be driven to the hospital. They told me to go back to sleep. The next day while walking to work, I collapsed. Some Mexican day laborers saw me lying in the street and woke me up and helped me home. I went straight to the hospital and was rushed into surgery.

The worst pain I've ever had was eight wisdom teeth impacting at the same time. I had to wait for two days to get them looked at. I drank a fifth of scotch and was still unable to get any sleep. Also, I've had two bones broken in a pinky finger, blocking a kick during a fight. Actually, if the kick had connected I would most likely had had a broken jaw, so I took it in stride. However, I didn't want to explain how I came about that particular incident, so I splinted it with pencils and duct tape and kept it in a bowl full of ice. That quite neatly put an end to my guitar playing aspirations, since now that finger doesn't do much but hang there. Overall, I've developed a quite phenomenal pain tolerance through my clumsiness and angry youth. I've mellowed quite a bit since, so now I just have to deal with arthritis and the occasional traffic-induced migraine.

You should mix it like my wife. Lump of wasabi and dash of soy, if it doesn't drip off the stick it's just right. I think she sees sushi as a wasabi delivery system.

I had a couple of benign tumors in my spine, leading to a small section of two of my vertebrae being removed. That hurt. A lot. For about two years.

On topic though, I'm having a cracking day. Watched Notorious last night (awesome), have just got back from my girlfriend's house, and got sneaked some extra chicken drumsticks by the lady on the deli counter at Sainsbury's. Sorry to rub it in...

I'm going to my old work today in an attempt to retrieve my contract.

Then I can sue them silly! Woooo!

Just a little daunting go in. First time since they sacked me.

Perhaps the fact you haven't broken any bones is not down to you being 'ard and everyone else being pansies, and is more down to you being a typical city office drone who never does anything likely to cause that kind of injury.

I'd question how often and to what level you do any of those things you mention if you haven't broken a bone yet.

Hmm, this isnt bad or anything, but i'll throw it in this thread!

According to a dakka member, Im now able to use internet as
a means to travel to places! Its in my siggy lol

Im the first! woot!

As I said in the quote, as a yoof I was extremely outdoorsy. Hiking, Tree Climbing, Rock Climbing. Was in the Scout Movement from Beaver to Venture Scout. I've crashed bikes, cars, fallen from high walls, been pretty active.

And not a single bone broken, because I'm ded 'ard!

lol scouts, yeh I was in the scouts. Dead hard work that was.

I'm going to write a book about you, I feel I have enough information now.

Back on the original topic, it's perfectly good manners to eat nigirizushi with your fingers.

I'll probaly regret asking this, but what's a tendon? Are there pics of this incident?

On topic (the intended one, note the whole wasabi thing):
Only 35 days left till the my friendly neighbourhood game store closes down for good.
