The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
If this was the 50's the doc would prescribe me cigarettes. I'd look so cool guys! In all seriousness I predict I'll end up on anxiety meds in my adulthood. I'll try to curb the tide till then.
What was Pony's story?

I can never match Stale in a pain contest.

I'm not entirely certain why this is relevant because your thing is the roaring 20s and this is, like, the 50s, but this conversation makes me think of it

My worst pain generally comes down to my dealings with Chronic Epididymitis, which was caused by a fistula leading directly from my intestinal tract to my left ejaculate duct. I was on a slab in the ER for six hours while in a ridiculous level of pain that I can not really describe, waiting for the doctor to come in.
Then when they gave me the pain medicine, it didn't really work. So I had to wait the night for the doctors to come back, when they hooked me up on a pain pump of 'the good shit.'

I'm a time traveler, it's okay. I just choose to reside in the 1920's.
I seem to get a variety of pains that probably just tie back into the stress, but there is one I can't explain: whenever I hurt myself near my face (cut or plucking or something), I feel the pain in one of my teeth as opposed to the site of the hurt. Just something odd.

It's not quite as exciting as the broad statement leads to believe but.
It was a rope suspension bridge with timber crosses at either end.
Kinda like this, except it had about a 20 meter span
Anyway we were load testing it, I was the last one to jump on and after there were 15 people on it it decided to collapse, it wasn't so much as the weight of the cross beam that hurt, it was the weight of the other 15 people which were pulling it down that hurt me. I was like 12 or 11 at the time.
One time I got out of the shower all hurrying to school, threw on my boxers but did not bother to button the fly, grabbed the toothpaste, couldn't find a brush, needed both hands to look, squirted toothpaste into my mouth and started rifling threw drawers, mouth full of toothpaste, hair askew, trying to find that Goddamned toothbrush.
Wouldn't you know it, with all that excitement, my dick decided to wriggle its little flaccid self out of my fly and when a drawer yielded my toothbrush I lifted it high into the air, jammed it into my mouth after a brief dousing in the faucet, and jammed the drawer shut with my knee. Do you know what it feels like to have your dick squeezed in a drawer? Do you? Do you know what it feels like to have your urethra opened the wrong way?
That is to say horizontally?
Because it stings.
Lord have mercy it stings.
Like a Goddamn bee climbed up your dick and stung you a quarter inch down the shaft.

I am fairly certain I have dropped various pieces from bridges at uni from time to time as well, but never on my head.
I definitely put my hand in where a bat was resting, once
It was the crux of the route and I could not move it, no matter how loudly the bat squeaked

I got mugged by two drunk Natives and one of them stabbed me in the thigh with a 3 or 4 inch long blade right in the goddamn thigh. It hit bone and I screamed like a silly bitch.
Worst pain I have ever felt.
And my goddamn wallet was taken too.

I was down on the beach at dusk one time and Goddamned hornets came out of everywhere and started stinging us. There was a nest somewhere, but we couldn't see it because it was dusk. Also we couldn't fend off the little fuckers, because it was too dark to see them as they swooped in on us. Eventually we just had to run, nursing our pride.

I was stung by a wasp once on my hand. Really hurt and was unusable for about a week. I suppose if it hadn't stung me at an extremity I might have gone into shock because the reaction was so prolonged. When I saw that it had stung me (due to the inept flailings of cowardly female school chums) I immediately thought "my mom is allergic" so I rushed to get the stinger taken out. Then 7 minutes later the pain started and owww.

What does Native mean in this context, Morgenstern? Where are you?
Native Americans. I was living in Lethbridge, AB, Canada at the time.

i'm not allergic to stings, but when i got that forehead sting i yelled and smashed it in deeper. My forehead was swollen and one of my eyes was more closed than the other for a day or two.

I used to live there
I'll be moving back there come next May. Masters at U of L. Maybe I can get stabbed again.

Well, from his name he's clearly German so, you know, gauls and whatnot.
Visgoths actually if you want to get technical about it..

was probably when i got a wasp sting to the forehead when i was about 14
but that is not an interesting story about me being hurt
around when i turned 13, i was sledding in my backyard because there's a hill back thurr
i get tired of this piddly sitting on the tube bullshit my neighbor-friend is doing and offer a trade
i hurl myself fearlessly (and idiotically) down the hill lying on my stomach on his tube
as i speed down, the snow gets in my eyes (it was almost dusk) and i had trouble seeing in front of me
all of a sudden, my next-door neighbor"s house is in front of me
there's no time to move or react i'm going to slam my face into the cement basement foundation thing oh god
i slam into it with my skull. my momentum is completely gone.
although i know i am lying prone, the sky is spinning.
i went inside and laid down and turned on Fuse and watched an hour of Eminem videos or some shit
my parents weren't home and i felt fine after an hour or two of icing my head
years later i post on a video game forum in a manner similar to Pony
If this was the 50's the doc would prescribe me cigarettes. I'd look so cool guys! In all seriousness I predict I'll end up on anxiety meds in my adulthood. I'll try to curb the tide till then.

A second uncle of mine stroked out. He is in really bad shape
SNL? I've only seen it once or twice.
That smarted.

Um, a gate fell on my cousins once. I moved out the way, but it was scary to see them pinned under it like that.

I also broke several bones in my foot during muay thai sparring.
I have patellafemoral now, which is unpleasant.
thank god it hasn't
I'm the king of muay thai
got the eyepatch and the scar to prove it
or someone accidentally pineapples you
I was climbing once and I pulled myself up and had a look at where I placed my hand.
It was less than an inch away from a hornet's nest.
Couldn't move my hand either because it was a really good hand hold and I had to place some gear.

that wasn't painful, but certainly frightening.
