Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - MESSENGER DOWN: Jan 24th

MESSENGER DOWN
Help ol' grandpa Brean (MSNGR) with his broken hand and his inability to touch or dress himself. He can't even whipe his own ass. That poor guy. We will be passing the hat to raise some money for a live-in house-boy to help with the ass-whiping.

ass-whiping.
you forgot to add a "p" in 'whiping'...or was that an extra 'h?' My Msngr-sense tells me it was the former...

aw.. poor widdle bwean. he lost all his hair and use of his hand.. aw..

i'll drink but there's no way i'm going near his ass...

with i name like turd. . . i was kinda hoping. . .

thanks in advance to everyone. i have the best team and friends ever --and a pretty good backhand when this all heals.

hey msngr forgive me for missing the part where you actually got ****ed up but can you recap what happened to you? it all sounds very serious and sucky :(

friction burn?

...and a pretty good backhand when this all heals.

seems like with that cast, you'd have a pretty sweet backhand fist right now. see you tomorrow, jerkface.

and here i thought this was about an actual tragedy. turns out it's just brean.

ha ha.

i was going too fast through traffic and swerved around a potentially braodsiding truck. i hit some gravel near a construction site (an actual site, nerds, not something on the intermaweb) and went sliding, i think into one of the barriers. ironic, eh?

the main injury (besides pride), was my wrist/thumb socket (ask salome, she's got all the edumacation on this) breaking. therefore, my tendon pulled the thumb out of the broken socket permanently, at least w/o surgery (pins and wires and lots of not so fun pain). so, i've had 1 surgery so far. with at least one moe coming.

let me know if you want to hear more of the sob story. it gets better. or worse.

injured pride can be easily healed with alcohol. you just have to finish your beer before you start a new one.

If it weren't for Bre-anne, I'd probably still have two six packs of 'gansett left in my fridge.

this will undoubtedly turn into that scene in jackass where the guys tries to get people to help him button his pant bc he has two broken arms. i can already see MSNGR asking, no scratch that, demanding help buttoning his pants over and over again....

why did i think it was a good idea to start taking night classes?

i won't be able to be there, but i'll fill my water bottle with beer and drink to your health during my seminar, msngr.

hmmm... Do I want to give gramps money to live? why not... without gramps life would not be as fun.

Time to go back to Lawyerin' don't need no stinkin thumb to bullsh*t a judge.

ha ha.

Love to be there but I just got released from St. Vincents ER myself. Some idiot sideswiped me on Varick and W. Housten today. Huge lump on the head and alot of bruises, but nothing broken. Good thing I wasn't wearing my helmet, that thing would have been destroyed!

hey, that really sucks...i missed that story...hope it all heals okay.

I'll be back at work by Wed. I'm just pissed off I got released so late tonight that I can't even pick up my pain meds. All the pharmacies in my ghetto are long since closed. Time to hit the whiskey.
My head / eyebrow is so swollen I look like I belong in the neanderthol exhibit at the Natural History Museum. Ack.

Sweet!

we just have to make sure msngr doesn't spend all the money raised on beer.

that would be the mission.... should we choose to accept it!

in honor of msngr, may i propose that we all can only use one hand for the duration of the benefit.. drinking, pissing, ass-wiping, &c.

Let's all wrap our hands up in bandages and stuff ourselves into the photo booth!

Msngr... glad to hear you're OK. Enjoy the party, you're on your own for the wipin' however. lol Take care MESSERS

if i can sneak away from the ladyfriend and my household chores that have been long neglected i'll come by... or if i can convince michele to come too.

ah, bring michele down. we don't bite (though we have chased a few significant others away with debaucherous attitudes).

mareesha, that blows. RICE, rest, ice, compression, and elevation. make sure you compress your head a lot. a lot.


the rest of the sob story:
on the way back from DC, i left my lock and chain on the bus.

yesterday, on the way to work (as a walker! --6 tags all day), i tried to adjust my phone holster with the paw. i guess i didn't do it right. lost the phone. luckily (?) i had my old nextel lying around and it still worked. until i ran out of battery today. should have found that charger before going to work.

more to the story later. i just got run #3 for the day. yay.

i have a pretty basic unlocked phone that you can use if you have a phone that uses SIM cards and can ask yr provider for a new one (they'll usually give you one for free). PM me if you want it.

That sucks B. I have a spare mini Ulock you can use. Not much help for work I know, but better than nothing. Let me know if you need it.
I'm walking tomorrow if it kills me. No way I'm staying home another day.
Wow do I feel stupid for not wearing my helmet, I'd be back at work right now if I had been.

This is why I wear a helmet aaaallllll the time. It just isn't worth it. Plus, my helmet messes my hair up in a way that I actually like once it's done being sweaty. When I don't wear the helmet, the hair's all flat & kinda boring.

Yeah, and it keeps me from dying.

Don't sweat it... I swear we all have those brain bucket moments..... DAMN shoulda coulda... least you're here and can still read a post.

Oh yeah, I have a ny chain collecting dust so if you want that heavy ass mother give me a ring and let me know.

hey i just had a thought -- can happy hour also include a "steal msngr's pain pills" party?

umm, my asthma is still acting up. wtf.
had fun tonight ya'll.

aw babe, sorry you're still not feeling great...

also, a word to the wise: please don't ever let msngr near any butter, lest you want to be the pan to his pam (aka butter spray dispenser).. EW.

good to see so many people out last night. Ave B looks better w more bikes.

MSNGR. ring that bell.

the Lakeside thanks you all.

Roscoe, your awsome!

Msngr, I hope you found that key, or you'll be showering with that chain for a while.

Good to see everyone and have a nice drink after work.

LOL did you chain him?

thanks to everyone here, team puma, steve the greek, and roscoe and trackstar, of course. ch0mb0 gave me a bell. no, not that kind --the kind deli's used to have on the counter.

best story of the night (alluded to above):
wangster loans me his chain and lock. after a bit of key confusion, he hands the key to me and says, "whatever you do, DON'T LOSE THIS KEY." i said, "no sweat. i'm going over to my bag right now and hooking it onto the interior clasp thingy, sweetheart." ok, i didn't say sweetheart. whatever.

short story short, i lost the key from one end of the room to the other. i think i am just used to my key being on a string and attached to me, and i just let go of it. it must have been pretty funny to an outsider, though. cuz i was dumping everything out of my bag thinking i might have dropped it in there. old candy kisses, sharpies, pens, receipts, condoms, pennies, tools, aspirin. everywhere.

by the way, everyone, i got my phone back.

nothing better than seeing a trashed msngr with not one but TWO chains around his waist and a key that's been lashed to his wrist with two cable ties..

I can't believe I missed this photo op!

Yo! MSNGR or any one of his buds.
