That's more respectable than my weekend. We visited friends at the beach and spent the afternoon bodysurfing.

I probably felt as bad as you the next day, which is sad.

Climbed to a mostly reasonable height to swing from a tree, crashed through the forest, and felt like I had attended a mostly peaceful BLM protest.
You wanted a thread to post in and you picked 'Sorry, not sorry'? Would you do it again?

Doesn't look bad in the photos????

I opened up my elbow just failing a dismount off my bike a year ago. There's a spot on my elbow that if there's pressure on it, it feels like it never healed.

I think the BLM bit made it on topic.

Sorry. Not sorry.

You know my aversion to starting my own threads, and to staying on topic.

To answer your question, yes, on all levels.

As an aside, I usually preface unwise actions with "watch this y'all" just in case that's the last thing I ever say, honoring the spirit of what a rednecks last words are.

The 21st century phrase is actually "hold my beer".

Completely Okay. I've been know to pick a random thread to post a semi-random thought.

And this thread is intended as a refuge from cranky-pants.

There was an inspiring round of parody songs in reaction to The Quarantine. Now there seems to be another round, with a focus on masks:Now I notice they're all from Media Bear. They've got 33 videos and 19K subscribers.

It's clearly a matter of social(ist) control instead of biosecurity, so I don't look at any aspect of it as "entertaining" or anything like that. On a sidenote, even though President Jair Bolsonaro has been advocating for chloroquine and early treatment when WHO was spreading panic all around the world, this week the Chinese dictatorship became endorsing the chloroquine.
