Nice stories all, thanks for keeping the thread alive and reliving a dead one if so.
Very impressive. Gotta agree, burns are a badge of honour and I'm starting to gain those badges rather quickly. I've even started to get my knife callous, so I'm very proud
Lef4Bread: thanks for the welcome, glad to be onboard
(I also hate towel slapping, I think that stems form a childhood memory of my odler brother chasing with a tea towel trying to whip me with it when my right knee collided with a low lying brick wall, fracturing my knee cap and leaving a nice chunk of flesh stuck to the bricks. just another scar story he he).
Oldschool: lopping off part of your thumb?!?! thats hardcore, glad the part that came off didn't end up as topping on that pizza. Your pot of boiling water scar sounds horrible, I hope you exacted some sweet revenge on that Maroon. Reminds me of the scar I've got that is about the size of a bar of soap (strangec omparison I know) across my lower abdomen from that exact same incident as I was filling a pot with boiling water from the boiler, some server was mucking around behind me and bumped me causing the pot to slip, spilling alot of the water over my lower body. Thank god that was all that got burnt.
Schuster: I think I'm begingin to agree with you that a numbness in the digits is a good thing. I play guitar alot and the fingertips on my left hand are well worn with calouses so I don't feel alot of burns on them but my right hand is still very sensitive. You know where I get alot of tiny little cuts. On the thumb of my left hand from using a peeler, when peeling I must make such tiny cuts on that thumb but now my thumb is riddled with them, doesn't bother me until I'm squeezing lemons or pitting olives. Had to laugh though at your quick fix for the knuckle wound...Superglue! so many uses lol.
Feel free anyone else to discuss wounds received on the line
