Tree 1, GingerSnaps 0

dsc00984.jpgActually no, I didn’t really run eye first into a tree playing kickball at the Nashville Bloggers & Friends Picnic…

The black eye occurred as a result of a bar room brawl in which two very studly men were fighting over me, and as I was trying to make them realize that there is enough of me to go around, I got caught in the crossfire of punches.

Yeah…that’s what happened.

    I thought it was when Grace punched you out.

    Owww! You also look like you got a little sun, and by a little I mean a lot.

    why are you covering up for Grace..I saw that punch she threw. I’m surprised the brawl only lasted 3 minutes. I guess it was the heat and at least SOME of our ages.

    LOL…hey, y’all…Grace saved me from even more harm by not bopping me with the kickball as I was running into 2nd base!

    Grace has a heart, ya know!

    You know Ginger, you shouldn’t have said those things about me. I AM NOT A SLUT!

    You’re lucky I just punched you in the one eye…

    Hey, I was the one who lightly tagged you out from a distance of 6 inches while we were getting beat by umpteen runs. That’s sportsmanship.

    Think what Sarcastro would’ve done…

    [...] Check it out, yo, Ginger got a black eye. These blogger picnic things are dangerous. But awesome, hope to see y’all at the next one! [...]

    I was afraid you were going to be traumatized by J.J. force feeding you his goldfish crackers… Not happy about the shiner, but glad my little guy wasn’t the low light of your day! :)

    You’re lucky. One of my fraternity brothers ran into a tree back in college playing midnight frisbee football. He ended up with a black eye too as well as a broken cheek bone and 3 or 4 stitchs over his right eye.

    Linda, J.J. is always the highlight of any event he attends :)

    If you go in for mud wrestling next time I might just swim the Atlantic to see that…

    Crying?

    There’s no crying in kickball.

    Tequila can fix that.

    I could use some goldfish crackers right about now.

    I think you’re looking at this all wrong, Ginger. That tree had it coming!! ;)

    [...] GingerSnaps tastes great, less filling « Bizarro Dream! Only me… September 4th, 2007 Ok, so my eye is still hurting, I’m still having headaches and blurred vision. So, I’m biting the bullet & calling an Ophthalmologist. They asked what kind of accident I had. I said, “No! You’re gonna laugh!” They say, “No we won’t, we’ve heard it all.” Trusting them, I very sheepishly told them that I ran into a tree playing kickball. [...]
