The scene: It's a Sunday night, the streets are empty, and the weather is perfect for a little twilight mischief. SWScorch is feeling like causing some mayhem, but he's also feeling a wee bit lazy so he decides to settle for some low-key quasi-precarious stunts instead.

The setup: SWScorch lives on the 2nd floor of a dorm on the ass end of campus. One of his windows is missing a screen. Scorch decides that jumping out his window seems like a really good idea.

The stupidity: SWScorch is recovering from a fractured tibia and is wearing an AirCast prior to attempting this death-defying stunt.

The evidence:

Scorch scoping out the view from the 2nd story
action shot of SWScorch placing himself in fate's hands
hanging on for dear life!!!
look at how high he is!!!!!
wow, that drop of 5 feet sure is frightening!!!
the aftermath

Yes, my friends, this is what intellectually-challenged, sexually frustrated college kids do when they're too lazy to actually go out, and/or they have a final exam the next morning. Look upon the scene, and weep! For it is a tale of unspeakable tragedy and horror; the pitiful lives of 20-somethings.

edited for clarity.

BTW, what resolution are those pics showing up as? I originally uploaded them as 1600x1200, realized that was too big and then re-uploaded them at 800x600, but they're still showing as 16x12 on my end despite pics.bbzzdd.com listing them as 800x600.

And Mookow, I totally weigh at least 110!!!! :p

Yeah, I was trying to say I am recovering from a fractured tibia and I decided to jump. Not that jumping gave me a fractured tibia. I got this fracture over a month ago.

Dude, you've got to start eating. Go on the barbarian's diet and report back in two months.

EDIT: by "totally", I assume you mean "including $400 in quarter rolls stuffed into my pockets before stepping on the scale"

yeah..its not that clear. the first time i read it i thought you got a fracturered tibia from the jump, then i realized you were jumping with a splint on.

it didnt make sense until this post.

what do you want to do ? fracture it even more?

I consume about 4000 calories a day. Look at my sig :)

And no, I did NOT mean with $400 worth of quarters in my pockets! I meant sopping wet, wearing a lead and kevlar vest and britches. :p

Maybe girls bending over to sign his cast gave him the biggest stiffy of his life and he wants to repeat the experience?

NOOOOoooooOOOOO.... although you are very close. The sympathy I get from the track girls makes being a gimp all worthwhile :)

I know you run around a lot. But the barbarian's diet will allow you to gain weight, anyway. You are not a rabbit, rabbit food isnt good enough

I jumped off a six story parking garage. Of course, there was a rope involved (rappelling), but it wasnt exactly "legally sanctioned".

Rabbit food? You insult me! How about 1200 calories of pasta, a double cheeseburger, 4 glasses of chocolate milk, a few chicken breasts and maybe some vegetables? :)
