    But last night, it tore. One stitch. Put a bandaid on, no big deal. Through the night and me taking a shower today, the rest of the stitches came out and I had a nice, pinky-sized hole left exposed. Roll Tide. My wife calls the doctor, they say bandaid it or liquid bandaid it. Well, I can't trust a bandaid and I'm not paying for liquid bandaid when I have superglue... so I use superglue. A little initial burn, but nothing bad at all. I wait for it to dry, get dressed and then I notice my mistake.

    I've glued myself. To myself. I'm not elaborating. If your imagination can't take you there, good for you. Really. If you know what I meant by that, you probably cringed a little. Well, the process of pulling myself from myself was more painful that most of the initial recovery. Fast forward since then, all is well now. The second round of glue, I made certain it was dry.

    There. Enjoy your laugh.

        you should have saved yourself from even having surgery in the first place and just superglued it shut.

            ****, thanks a lot... This makes me not want to get my done this year, I was planning on Opening Weekend of NCAA tournament or Opening Day of Baseball... Now I don’t want to.

                A well-placed Roll Tide makes just about anything better.

                Don't cancel. Even with my unfortunates, I'd still have it done again. The payoff with the Mrs. and the benefits therein is/are well worth it.

                            Today I learned that back in 2003, we almost had a movie similar to Space Jam but it was going to have Tony Hawk and be called Skate Jam.

                            But Looney Tunes: Back in Action ended up being such a bomb, that they cancelled production.

                              A bit of a shame. I didn't realize Looney Tunes: BIA was such a bomb. I really enjoyed that flick.
