- Small scar in top center of forehead.  Smashed bottle against it in drunken speech, something about going to live forever.  Audience stunned.

- Scar on right thumb from bow-saw accident.  Was cutting down some public trees at a school to make an oar for a "raft" we built when I was 10 or so.  Got home from hospital to find a real oar in shed.

- Scar on right ring-finger, palm side.  Age <10.  Was cutting heads off GI Joe's with a knife (Farmington's a pretty boring place).  Sucker slipped.

- Right knee cap is pretty much scarred to hell.  And no, I don't have good balance (jerks  ) - it's from hockey.

- Scar on right eyelid from taking a follow through from a slapshot right into it.  Honestly thought I lost it for a few minutes.  Oh well...  There went my pretty face

Well, ok, now you all know what I look like and what my battle wounds are...  I guess I might as well clear things up and tell you that my favorite color is red

I've had over 100 stitches, several broken bones etc...but after reading Mrbill's post, the rest of us are a bunch of pusssies.

Lots of scars on my hands

Scar on inside of right elbow when a piano bit me while moving it.

Scars on my left ass-check from sliding down a mountain in shorts (accidently mind you)

Scar on right hip from trying to dive and pull the flag off a ball-carrier in a flag-football game.

Scars on chin from getting helmets under my facemask during high school football.

3 inch scar on my right forarm from something

Several small scars around my right knee from ACL replacement surgery

Scar down my right shin received from catching the exhaust pipe on my dad's 1950 New Yorker

So basically, I am the most magnificent man ever and you all are some beat up pieces of maggot infested dog crap.

Flock to me ladies, for I am beautiful!

Yeah, but what really turns them on is your sense of humility.

Indeed, I am only packing a vienna sausage.

When I was off playing soldiers the way we did it was every man in the unit was issued with a battle id number of 3 digits, we then wrote the number on the inside flap of our shirt pockets, on        the inside of our belts - webbing and we threaded spare dog tags into our boot laces.

Wearing dog tags around your neck is a pain in the ass, so we'd loop them around our belts and let them hang down into the wound dressing pocket on our combats.

The reason for this was the year prior to my service a Ratel Micv burnt out during Operation Smokeshell, it took a RPg 7 hit to the driver compartment and brewed up killing all the crew, identification was very difficult.

Extra skin on the index and middle knuckles from pushups, and a few suture points on the left annular middle section where a stroller folded onto my finger back when I was two or three.

That's it really, besides I think scars on me look more like having missed myself instead of knowing better and avoiding damage, rather than proud memories.
