I take it this "fight" was a battle of wits? You were obviously overmatched. Perhaps you could start with something less challenging.....a small rock perhaps.....and move up to more challenging opponents like trees and fences when you have some experience under your belt.

How can you possible recommend he take on something as hard as a rock. It's WAY to dangerous. I recommend he first practice with something MUCH softer like a sock or a washcloth. No matter how hard the sock hits back, he's unlikely to need stitches.

haha, I had to get a picture first. Then I wiped off all the blood and put some pressure on it to try and stop the bleeding. After that we went out to Lumbermans Monument for a few more hours. Then I went back to my friends house at dinner, then went to the ER.



Why do you guys think this is a dumb thread? And if you do why bother posting here? I just thought it was an interesting pic and someone would get a laugh out of it. Not a big deal. And its not like no one here has ever gotten hurt by accident before. It could have happened to anyone, including you Red Dawn.


I thought it was funny. You messed up and tried to see some humor in it.

Well next time try not useing your hands and try a rope

first tie it to a high branch, next tie it around your neck(make sure both
knots are very tight) and make sure your above the branch and in the sun so the branch dosent see you coming and last step jump of that branch and see if it breaks on you this time, If not you Win ;)
