Found a link on youtube to the episode.
Funny thing, though, I played a ton of street hockey in L.A., and still play floor hockey now, and I think people that don't wear shin guards or gloves are crazy. That's mostly because a) most of the people we play against are chops that flail away at anything, and are quite likely to hit your shins, and b) because I think it's just easier to stick handle with a good pair of hockey gloves, and I'd prefer to not break a finger.
And I'd probably be in for the 1.2MM, but I'd probably need to be blindfolded, because there's not way I could do it without flinching.
The bitter irony here is that one reason I'd be willing to go for this is that it's not like I'm getting laid all the time as it is. But with 1.2MM in my pocket, I'd be much more likely to use that area for one of its intended purposes.
The basic principle of hockey: if you can't get the puck, get the guy.
I love this game.
Wait, no one said anything about "massage" treatments. I bet that changes a few minds.
Someone linked to it in a current thread.
Put me down for a yes, by the way. Medical science will save me, I'm sure.
WTF did he do in the meantime, groan in oblivion by the batting cages?
More likely though, he was just screening ambulance chasers at home...
Yes, but it will cost you $1.2 million.
BWAHAHAHAHA!
Even with the massages?
Nice handle though, I have done karaoke once in my life, and Amish Paradise was my choice.
That would be me. It's one of my favorite threads, so I like to drop in a reference to it periodically.
Like a really bad Episode of the Twilight Zone...
Thank God that fad died out.
Turns out the (normally weak-hitting) batter had got hold of one and hit what my coach (our coaching staff was, now that I think of it, a dead-on ringer for Hank Hill, Dale, and the Hispanic guy from Hank's work, looks and all; this would be Hank) termed "a dadgum LASER BEAM right into your family jewels", which I never saw coming. Amusement for my non-sports playing friends, sympathies from the team. For one batter. And then, "Walk it off. Your spot's open." And so I manned my third base.
Didn't realize it was an old thread as I started reading it -- and was about to post the very same thing I posted initially... then saw I had already posted, thought maybe WTF -- I already went through it, but the pitch misfired and hit me in the temple. Well, that and the fact that I do not have 1.2 million that i know of.\
I still stand by my initial statement. I caught for a season, and took numerous balls off the (cup protected) balls (and not being all that good, they weren't all foul balls). The cup doesn't get nearly the credit as one of mankind's greatest inventions that it deserves. It's certainly not a comfortable feeling, but the wave of relief that washes over you is a drug in and of itself.
As Homer says, man hit in groin is a timeless classic.
But I enjoyed the camp values of Senor Spielbergo's production. It deserves a reappraisal and a Criterion DVD re-release.
And this is why society is decaying.
Naw, society is decayed and hopeless already. And you're needed in the Denny McLain thread!
Question: What's the capital of Thailand?
Answer, delivered with a shot to the groin: "Bangkok"
And this one:
Q: Did you ever want to own any land?
A in the manner above: Here's a couple of achers.
Initially I would say yes. Even after attorney fees and taxes, 1.2 million is a lot of cash to come into all at once.
However, I saw a HS teammate of mine take a hard-hit grounder square in the nads and it was the most horrendous thing I've ever seen. We were practicing indoors in a gym and fielding ground balls off the hardwood, so the ball had speed. I imagine that was only 50% as hard as a 60 mph direct shot. I couldn't imagine the pain, i'm going to be a chicken and say No.
If history progresses because of the synergistic interaction of past events and innovations, then as history does progress, the number of these events and innovations increases. This increase in possible connections causes the process of innovation to not only continue, but to accelerate. What happens when this rate of innovation, or more importantly change itself, becomes too much for the average person to handle? What does this mean for individual power, liberty, and privacy?
What's the highest pitch speed for which you'd take a shot to the groin for $1.2 million? 50? 40? 35?
I'm thinking I might do it at 40. That's probably right at the speed where the chances of catastrophic and irreversible injuries start to rise dramatically.
I'd definitely do it at 35.
I don't think this necessarily follows. Humans innovate, but we're still basically the dumb monkeys we were 4000 years ago. And, hey, we survived the era of the programmable VCR, a device with which the average person was helpless.
Living in a northern climate - our HS team generally had a solid month of indoor practive before we could get outdoors... Full speed fielding drills, hitting in a cage, etc. It was MISERABLE. No funny hops, sure - but a hard hit grounder or a short hop? Fuhgeddabout.
When we got wind of complaints from indoor sport coaches about scuffs and problems on the gym floor, we started doing everything we could to exacerbate the problem to end the torture.
Not if these massages involve Icy Hot.
I somehow made it through to the point of "the left testis was apparently missing" before vomiting.
I guess I could be put on the old "no" list
I promise, though, if I were to take one for the team, I wouldn't staple my ####### nutsack back together again.
Sorry, the time frame for joining the class action suit is closed.
Honestly, shouldn't there be a time limit past which no more comments can be added?
I fall for it every time. Every time this thread gets resurrected my first thought is "Criminy! It happened again!"
Btw, nfw am i taking an intentional shot to the groin. Something's wrong with you if you'd rather have a million dollars over a functioning penis.
You're welcome. I link to this thread every chance I get. It is comedy gold.
And, to be clear about this, "everything"'s working just fine, thank you very much.
Make sure not to commit to exactly $1.2 million - if inflation hits badly, you don't want to get hit in the balls with a baseball for a carton of eggs or a quart of milk.
Apparently within the past 18 months Craig found out where to sign up...
And yeah, I'm in.
why the surprise?
"keeps popping up when you thought it would FINALLY lie down" sure nuff sounds like men to me
