Everyone has scars, some nastier then others. So what are your scars and the story that carries them?
Btw, no "Mental Scars" will be allowed. Anyone who "Mentally Scars" is weak.
All those who post "Mental Scars" will be insulted, harassed, and thought of as a woman.
Btw, Chicks dig Scars.

u must dig this guy than:

No pic to show, but I took out a silver dollar-sized chunk of my left knee in Basic Training- tripped during an early morning sprint on blacktop, tore my knee open right down to the bone. Finished the run, limped back to barracks, got dressed and walked to the dispensary. Had to sit there almost two hours waiting to be seen, my boot filling with blood the whole time. Sick thing is, it never hurt until a few days later. Took over 7 months to heal up.
Nothing grosses the medics out like seeing you pick rocks out of your knee and scrubbing at it with iodine and a scrub brush. :)

More scars than I can count...from head to toe.
A better thread would be "What bones have you had broken and reset yourself?"

Four small ones.
Right bicep. Round. About half the diameter of a dime.
Cleaning rod broke while shoving too much patch down the barrel.
Right tricep. Oval. About the size of a dime.
Dog mauled me when I was 5 years old.
Right wrist. Oval. About the size of a dime.
Diving back to first base during a baseball game. I cut myself on the spikes of the first baseman.
Right temple. Thin line about an inch long.
Walking between walls in a unfinished new house. Didn't see the nail.

My dog's head collided with my eyebrow a few years back. For some reason my eyebrow began to swell....Rocky style.
I woke up the next morning and I could hardly open that eye it was so swollen. I went to the emergency room and they wouldn't cut it open because they were concerned that the wound was on my face and that I'd need a plastic surgeon to do it.
I had to get an appointment with my regular doctor, who would refer me to a specialist who would then refer me to a surgeon. The whole process was going to take six months!!! I left mightily p'd off.
Next day my eyebrow was really hurting and even bigger. I went back to the same emergency room and told the doctor that I wasn't going to wait 6 months and that he should cut me. "Cut me man...CUT ME!" He laughed and said "Okay, but you are going to have a scar." I laughed back and asked if he had a close look at my face...its full of scars.
He cut me open and the scar is totally hidden by my eyebrow.
Sort of a non scar story in retrospect. But I felt like sharing.

Curvie you shoulda looked him straight in the eye with the GOOD one and said

Hang in there Gilligan, lil Buddy!

Got a little round scar on the back of my right calf. 9mm in diameter even. Bigger and slightly oblong scar on the front of my calf. Entry and exit wounds.
Many years ago, my roommate and I let a girl stay with us for a few days. Her parents were out of town and she had to wait for them to get back so she could move back in with them. She had just broken up with a guy, and he started doing the whole 'if I can't have you, noone can' thing, saying he was going to get a shotgun and deal with her.
So a couple days later, the roommate and I stop in at the local gunstore/range and ask our friend who works there if so-n-so bought a shotgun. Yep, a Remington 12GA self-shucker. I go on to work and Dave goes to see his girlfriend, whose father had picked up a micro uzi for us.
We both get back home around 2am. We're sitting in the back inspecting the uzi and talking about taking to the range in the morning. 'bout 2.30-2.45 we hear something out front, sounds like someone's messing with the cars. We start for the front door, thinking it was the dorkfish and his shotgun. I'm drawing my Goldcup and Dave's putting a mag into the uzi and pulling the bolt as we split up to go out the front and the back. He trips and falls. BANG! My leg went numb from the knee down. I keep going out the front door, sweep the yard, see a guy running down the street, and sit down on the bench beside the door.
Trip to the ER (with Dave almost wrecking my 'vette on the way), interview with a deputy* who kept asking if I thought Dave meant to do it, and some good drugs. And a story.
*The idiot couldn't understand that I believed it an accident, cause if he had meant to shoot me I'd be dead.

Scar comparisons always have to have this:
Japanese submarine slammed two torpedoes into her side, Chief. Happended just after midnight. We was coming back from the island of Tinian to Leyte. We'd just delivered the bomb. The Hiroshima bomb. Eleven hundred men went into the water. Vessel went down in 12 minutes. Didn't see the first shark for about a half-hour. Tiger. 13-footer. You know how you know that in the water, Chief? You can tell by looking from the dorsal to the tail. What we didn't know, was that our bomb mission was so secret, no distress signal had been sent. They didn't even list us overdue for a week. Very first light, Chief, sharks come cruisin' by, so we formed ourselves into tight groups. It was sorta like you see in the calendars, you know the infantry squares in that old calendar over there like the Battle of Waterloo and the idea was the shark come to the nearest man, that man he starts poundin' and hollerin' and sometimes that shark he go away... but sometimes he wouldn't go away. Sometimes that shark looks right at ya. Right into your eyes. And the thing about a shark is he's got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, he doesn't even seem to be living... 'til he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then... oh then you hear that terrible high-pitched screaming. The ocean turns red, and despite all your poundin' and your hollerin' all those sharks come in and... they rip you to pieces. You know by the end of that first dawn, lost a hundred men. I don't know how many sharks there were, maybe a thousand. I do know how many men, they averaged six an hour. On thursday morning, the third day Chief, I bumped into a friend of mine, Herbie Robinson from Cleveland. Baseball player. Boatswain's mate. I thought he was asleep. I reached over to wake him up. He bobbed up, down in the water in his lifejacket, he was like a kinda top. Upended him into a nearby raft... well, he'd been bitten in half below the waist. At noon on the fifth day, a Lockheed Ventura swung in low and he spotted us, a young pilot, lot younger than Mr. Hooper here, anyway he spotted us and a few hours later a big ol' fat PBY come down and started to pick us up. You know that was the time I was most frightened. Waiting for my turn. I'll never put on a lifejacket again. So, eleven hundred men went into the water. 316 men came out, the sharks took the rest, June the 29th, 1945. Anyway, we delivered the bomb. -Quint, 1975
Left shin, fell on a water ski
Right ankle, rode a motorcycle thru a barb wire fence.
That's about it
-
assorted thin short ones up the arms, mostly from minor things.
L shaped one under my nose, fell on a chair when i was 5.
small raised circular one right under middle of lower lips, TIG welding incident.
three oval scars on right knee, from bolts on a dock while swimming.
2 inch long, raised scar, on my lower right side, fell on a desk fighting with my brother.
weird shape on right wrist, fell off skateboard.
nothing from anything interesting, or even dangerous.
-
That is a mental scar, you woman.
Man up!
-
Best one I have is probably about 3 inches long on top of my left shoulder, nasty looking thing as a result of surgery to put my shoulder back together after a motorcycle accident.
-
Yes.
No.
-
Just surgical scars. Biggest one is on my ankle after the installation and subsequent removal of a plate and six screws. It's about 3-4" long.
-
Now that you mention the eyebrow, I do have a chuck missing from my left eyebrow from riding my bike into the side of a house when I was 6 and an inch-long scar on the left temple from the same incident.
I can't see them without a mirror, so I don't think about them :)
-
There was this one time, when you guys were really mean..
And yea..
It hurt really bad and it's big big big..
I have one on my chin from removing a 'birth mark'.
Oh and atm a two inch long gash on my left thumb pad, you know your palm right underneath your thumb...
Work related..
Damn, I didn't know *****'s had claws..
-
Ok medical scars.
Small 1 inch scar on the inside of my my right upper arm where the lymph node was removed diagnosing my Hodgkins disease
2 2 inch scars on the inside of my left upper arm from where a portacath
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port-a-Cath (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port-a-Cath)
was implanted, then removed when I was getting Chemo.
1 2 inch scar on the top of each foot from the lymphangiogram I received after above diagnosis (ever pee in turqoise?)
Ok, more or less glamorous depending on your perspective.
Its almost gone now, but a 4 inch scar on my left elbow area from blocking a knife during a gang fight. (he lost)
1 small bump just above the hairline on the front of my head where during a street fight when I was a teenager someone busted (yes busted) a section of cinderblock on my head.
His mistake, as I have a notoriously hard head and pain only pisses me off even more. And he soon thereafter found out that chunks of cinderblock can be the next best thing to a dentist in teeth removal. Oh well, he had bad teeth anyway.
Then there are the scars of the heart of which there are two.
Funny how those scars never seem to completely heal.
but we wont get into those
Other then that Im pretty clean. considering all I've been through Im pretty lucky. Could be ALOT worse
Though if you shaved my head you might see a scar on the back of it from when I was a little kid and jumped on the back of another kid playing around. We both fell backwards and my head landed on a section of and old barbed wire fence that had fallen down

there ya go.
Right hand. when I was 21
In a bar one night and got really pissed off at someone.
Promising my GF ad the time I wouldnt then get into something in the bar and do anything to him there. I punched a wooden beam instead.
regretted it IMMEDIATELY.
Dont think I've ever felt a similar pain before or since.
That night if I moved the little toe on my left foot. it made my hand hurt
Still bothers me from time to time when the weathers right
Made up my mind after that. That if I was ever that pissed off at someone again I would just go ahead and hit them and damn be the consequences.
Still might break my hand but I'd get a hell of alot more satisfaction
-
Lots, most from fighting.
Brick to the head - two inch scar on top under hair
fist to the lips - round scar on lip, sort of fat forever
beer bottle to the elbow in a brawl - right elbow covered 90% scar tissue
both knees asphalt burned - bar fight
inside left ankle just under ankle bone - knife
left hand - boxer break hitting brother with uppercut, surgery, pins
left hand, thumb, chipper machine reconstructive surgery, pins
left wrist, cat, stepped on it at night, put in shower
right shoulder, cigar burn shaped scar, cowboy boot kick with a running start
barbed wire, back, running from gunfire
shotgun pellets, back, not running fast enough from gunfire
I think there are more, can't remember. I have settled down some.

Hilarious.
For some odd reason, I have a really bad habit of smashing the very back top of each finger on something and taking the skin off. I have 4 pink / discolored spots from taking the skin clean off, right infront of the fist knuckle.
I have a scar on my shoulders from a really nasty sunburn. It wasn't the sunburn that gave me a scar (though it didn't help). It was the camper who jumped up on my shoulders and subsequently ripped the skin off my shoulders.
Then ironically, I have a sunburn scar on the base of my neck, left side. Completely seperate incident, a packed Beaver Stadium and I was too drunk to remember to put on sun screen.
And the last one (that shows, I seem to get hurt internally more then externally) is my Lyme Disease scar. Yes, I didn't even know these existed. The fabled bullseye mark left a scar on my leg. It's not discolored at all, you can't even see it. But it has left the skin misshappen perfectly around where the mark is. It really pisses me off too. I'm the only one who knows it's there, but it reminds me everytime of the worst year I have ever had in my life.
-
Enough, some surgical some from various injuries, I just don't pay attention to them.
-
I'm assuming acne scars and pockmarks don't count? :D

jeez you never notice how long they spend paintin em up?
watch out they go for the eyes.
I just have a 2 inch scar on the hairline from a close encounter with a radiator, mainly cause some wise arse placed it there when the house was built, I was flying when I was 4 and it got in the way.

Left knee -
Imagine what 80mph (just tootling)) on a Yamaha FZR1000 + wet leaves on a corner + a pair of Levis does :) .
Funnily enough my immediate thought after I had finished throwing myself down the road was - damn I only bought these jeans 2 weeks ago.

i have mental scars.

Mostly little ones...
4-incher on the inside of my left foot. Running down a camper who snatched my duffel bag and clipped my foot on a tent stake. Caught the 'tard at his car a few minutes later and got it back.
Pair of 2-inchers on my left instep. Dropped a hardwood pallet on it at work after getting hit from behind by an idiot backing up a powered pallet jack.
Quarter-sized on left forearm; ex g/f got torqued off at me in the car and rammed the cigarette lighter into my arm.
1/2-incher a hair below my left eye. Light bulb exploded and a shard came straight down into the top of my cheek.
A handfull of dime-sized punctures on the front of my left shin, and a 1-inch stripe on my calf, from a dog bite.
Tiny half-moon shaped thing on my left index finger; knife slipped while whittling a stick.
Thin scar line down the middle of my right index finger pad. Caught it on a nail sticking out from a pallet at work, and as a result bled on a half-dozen copies of the local paper. Someone finally asked if I was bleeding, and I didn't even notice it until then. Right index/middle finger second knuckles are partly scar tissue from the same job.

Just picked up a shiny new two inch one above my forehead: copped a surfboard in the head the other weekend. It was my surfboard so I can't complain and it could have been worse: at least it wasn't the fin.
I played rugby for years so I've had my fair share of cuts, knocks and broken bones.

I don't get scars I give them.
At a bar once two years ago (orange julius at the mall) I once punched a person in the face so hard that it cut her lip on her braces. Her mom came chasing after me but she was too fat and pregnant to catch me.
-
Left annular got stuck in a stroller's articulation someone was folding up when I was maybe 4 years old, 8 points.. some small cuts when I fell off headfirst into brush from a mountainbike downhill... a few small puncture and scrape marks, that's it.
Thankfully I've almost always been on the right side of giving scars and have good reflexes to potential bodily harm.
-
I had a Gunny in boot camp that had a scar that went from the front of his face to the back of his neck. He'd catch recruits looking at it and spout of with "YOU SEE THIS SCAR, MY MOTHER GAVE ME THIS SCAR, RIGHT AFTER I KICKED HER ASS!!!!!!"
that guy was crazy!
-
Forgot about my main one -
Across forehead, happened when I was kid.
Dad was an RAF fitter at Turnhouse (Edinburgh).
He used to take me and my sister in on a weekend.
Anyway was pushing her around on a aircraft towbar, and gave it a big push to try get some speed up.
I fell flat on my face and heard a bang.
Looked up just in time to see it coming straight back at me and got assaulted by the ring on one end. It had hit the hanger door and 'bounced' back.
Apparently I was easily found, wandering around the dispersal, by following the blood trail.
10 stitches and lot of weeks later........
-
I have about 78 stitches in my face as a trophy for all the hockey I played. Fortunately, they don't show too much (unless you look for them). Most of them are around the eyes and a big one under my lower lip which is fairly obvious.
As a kid I stepped on a broken coke bottle in the lake at the cottage and have a nice scar on my foot.
-
Friggin cat bit me where the thumb joins the hand and its tooth went through. Little scar there.
Dent on upper part of nose from when I had my head slammed on the bottom of a whiteboard (the part where you keep the markers and erasers)
Scar in lower stomach from a catheder being inserted because there was a blockage where it normally goes (oww) this one led to more scars but none that any of you will ever see...
PS....they can numb your skin, but they cant numb your friggin internal organs lol.

Broke both arms at the same time when I was 12. Got thrown from a really BIG horse.
Broke my hand when I punched a wall as hard as I could. Figured out right away that the paneling was covering a cinder block wall. :cry

lastest scar is on my left eyebrow, when i got 'my' surfboard in my head in morocco about 1 inch long,
plus reef scars,
3 thin lines about 3-4 inches long just below my left shoulder blade,
just below my right knee on the side of my leg, a 3 inch long area of scar tissue caused by hitting the reef in indo and then 3 weeks later just as it was healing manageing to rip out what scar tissue had formed again on exactly the same bit of reef.

and my very scar is a 1/2 inch line on my hand where i managed to miss my fountain pen lid with my caligraphy fountain pen and slice the back of my hand, had a blue scar for quite a while :-D
When travelling i like to have a tube of medical tissue glue to stick myself together, also seems to leaves barely any scar compared to having stitches done.

Yeah, like I'm gonna claim a fat chick's kid.
She'll never see one dime from me. She wanted to keep a trophy, it's all hers then. I can't be responsible for what she lets happen to her ovaries.
Still it's good to know that there's a couple of spare kidneys out there for me.
