Disfigured By A Frisbee

So here's the backstory. A week ago Sunday, "Pinhead" Stacey was playing softball with Nature Boy Jason, Joel the Metro, and AA (Amanda Anderson, Metro's wife). AA hit the ball hard and it smacked Pinhead right on the kisser. Man, did she ever look like crap all last week.

So this past Saturday we had a big picnic. There was to be no softball, nor any other kind of sport where someone could get maimed. So I brought a frisbee, and with great relish told everyone that surely not even my little pinhead sister could get injured playing frisbee.

Imagine the scene. Metro, Nature Boy, and myself, B-Dog, are spread out in triangle formation, zinging the frisbee to each other. I was standing in the street, in front of my car.

Jason flicked that frisbee like a bullet at my head. Now, normally, I have the reflexes of a cat. Really. I am a former bad guy pro wrestling superstar, you know. Also, I am QUITE the experienced frisbee catcher. But ... for some reason I missed completely. My arms did anyway. The bridge of my nose caught the frisbee quite well, WHACK! then it bounced off, along with my sunglasses. I fell back into my car, then staggered around in the empty street for a few second, before I realized what had happened. I had been frisbeed! Viciously. Good thing it didn't break my nose. Man, that hurt! So the lesson is, if you want a safe thing to toss around, don't stop looking when you come to the frisbee. Drop that sucker and keep searchin'. We Nightriders are going to have to revert back to childhood and try Nerf next, I guess.

Hey people ... what kind of columns would you like for the next week or so? I've thought about doing another dating/ relationship advice column. Perhaps Jason Ramage and I can give you ladies completely conflicting advice again. Or something. Actually we Nightriders were talking about "What guys want" Saturday at Zesto's (after the Frisbee attack). Maybe that would make a good column. Or something else. More poetry? More music critiques? More superstar interview? Any other ideas?

How about some relationship adviCe? Yeah, that sounds potentially amusing...that one, that one!

Cheryl, you need a new post on your blog (how's THAT for the pot calling the kettle "black"?)! :)

AdviCE it is. But there will be some Dylan talk this week as well, since tix go on sale THIS SATURDAY.

Mr. Ramage, be ready to give your view on whatever advice I throw out there. You and I are the two Pied Pipers of modern relationships.

It's Spring, my friend. It's in the air. Or something like that.

Looks like I dropped the ball a little on following up with you. Not to worry... I'll be catching up on your blog here. Although I'm pretty sure that Cheryl and Lorie--being women--have already said what I--being a Don Juan trapped inside a Doug Funnie body--am going to say ;-)
