Need a Little More Physicality

Well, the 2nd Annual Blanco Brethren Intelligentsia Christian Beer Bash is over and has come off without a hitch. I super enjoyed the horse-shoe pitching contest, the chess tournament and watching the Nietzsche documentary. That sure stimulated a lot of late night deep thought, huh? I wish I'd of taken notes.

I was a little disappointed we didn't do anything much physical this year. So, I propose next year we plan on at least a little bit of rowdiness so our wives don't think we're gay.

I've come up with a list of injuries that I think we can shoot for and use as a gauge for this goal next year. Here's the list. I'll take items #2 - #4 and let you guys pick between the rest of them.

If you think this is too ambitious, please email me.

1. Fractured or dislocated shoulder
2. Cracked rib
3. Head wound/bruise from rolling down rocks
4. Well-scraped knee
5. Choking to near unconsciousness
6. Twisted ankle - preferably an ankle that's been reconstructed from a previous injury.... and preferably during the furthest point out on a long-ass wilderness journey like five miles from anything
7. Dog injury - something that requires vet attention
8. Close to death incident where someone falls out of a moving truck - preferably with some large heavy iron object that could bust your head open or break off a leg
9. Major chigger bite infestation - preferably concentrated in the groin area
10. Leg scrapes and cuts from hiking
11. Leg scrapes and cuts from falling over rocks
12. Leg and general body scrapes and bruises from a drunken brawl
13. Someone needs to fall into a large bed of cactus, roll around some, destroy the cactus, and not complain about all the needles embedded through-out - classic cartoon fun
