Boba Rhett Posted February 5, 2002 Posted February 5, 2002 As some of you may know, there was a very large ice storm in Missouri last week, and were was I this weekend? Missouri. The trees at my brothers house had all their branches broken off by the ice and it was a horrible mess so I was "volunteered" by my Dad to help clean it up. I spent most of Saturday cleaning it up. Everything went by without a hitch, "even though we were being pretty reckless and were using a chainsaw ;)", that is, until we were all done cleaning it up...... Here are the descriptions of the three frames in the picture. 1. I stepped back to admire my work. 2. Little did I know that the ice that was stuck to the stumps were the branches used to be on the trees was now melting and becoming loose. I had just stepped into the path of a large, sharp, flying piece of ice. 3. Yeah, it hit me but luckily it hit the side of my neck so instead of stabbing, it slid. I was knocked to the ground. Then I proceeded to grab my neck and run around the lawn screaming, "It stings!", "It's stings!", "It stings!" I escaped the ordeal with a long cut down the side of my neck and a sore shoulder. *edit, if the pic doesn't work yet, it will soon.
Influenza Posted February 5, 2002 Posted February 5, 2002 So, what's it like to come that close to death?
Paragon_Leon Posted February 5, 2002 Posted February 5, 2002 For one thing, i'm pretty sure it's cold. I'm sorry Rhett, that was too good to pass up..
Tie Guy Posted February 5, 2002 Posted February 5, 2002 Rhett, have you lost weight? Anyways, thats pretty unfortunate. I'm supposed to get a "wintery mix" tommorow, i hope i don't get hit with an icicle....
Sithcloak Posted February 5, 2002 Posted February 5, 2002 Can anybody walk nowdays without having to look up to see if the sky is falling? J/K That is very scary. But I can't see the whole picture because of that ad! Sithcloak
GB_StormTrooper Posted February 5, 2002 Posted February 5, 2002 Me neither, just click and drag the pic off the web browser and a new page should pop up showing the whole pic
Artoo Posted February 6, 2002 Posted February 6, 2002 Ouch. That has happened to me before to Rhett. Big 14" icicle. Good thing it wasn't to far up and it was pretty fragile. Hurt though. Hope it doesn't happen again cause it is snowing pretty hard right now.
