Scars

c'mon, it's called lake "lake" and has a boathouse...

Actually it is more like Lake "Little Lake" or Lake "Dearest Lake." Its name is not Lake Laguna.

I've got a huge one on my leg, just ask Cal.

No, don't ask me.

I have 2-3 scars on my hands (yes, longer than an inch) from my dearly departed cat, who thought it was fun to claw the shit out of me. 

I was born with a hernia and I used to have an abdominal scar from when that was repaired, but I think it might have faded away by now... will have to check.

I also have a scar on the inside of my right forearm from some blood test thing with prongs I had done as a kid (to test for hemophilia, I think).  It's like an inch and a half long and has two 'prong' marks.

I also suspect I have a > 1 inch scar from when my pilonidal cyst was repaired but I'll have to ask Princesca to check that one, since I don't have eyes in the back of my ass.

>5.  Reasons are well known.

Gang of 3rd graders?

Surgery, being taken to with branch or something when I was 13.

I think it triggered my hemophobia or something.  My hemophobia is so severe if people talk excessively about blood I can actually faint.

What a great Legionaire you'd make.

What? You can't be serious, it's not that bad. It actually healed really well for a scar that large.

I was expanding on the hemophobia bit there.  I didn't feel faint due to your leg.

In the words of the immortal Johnny Cash, I'd "have to get tough or die" in that situation.

I guess I only have one scar that meets the criteria.  It's on the inside of my wrist & could be misconstrued as a suicide attempt

The way I got it was almost as dumb.  I was in college, leaving a hockey game where the local team won the game on a shootout, so we were full of alcohol *and* adrenaline.  As I was walking through the exit in the stands, I reached up to high-five someone & a jagged piece of metal scraped off a thin swathe of skin (I'm guessing 2 layers).  Took forever for that bitch to heal, and about a year more for the scar to fade.
