Boy Injures Eye With Skewer
A 10-year-old boy injured his eye at the Maryland Renaissance Festival in Crownsville on Sunday when he accidentally stuck himself with a skewer, Anne Arundel County fire officials said.
Lt. Frank Fennell, a county fire spokesman, said the boy, who was eating "steak on a stake," pulled the wooden skewer out of his mouth and stuck the skewer into his eye." - Associated Press
When I first read this blurb I thought, "Wow. That is one impressively dumb kid." But then I realized, if my parents dragged me to the Maryland Ren Fest and I had to spend an entire day around nerd cleavage pouring out of corsets, and hundreds of fifth-level dragon masters/tech support guys in tights and codpieces, I would probably jab my eyes out with a skewer as well.
Well played my Lord, well played.

When I broke up with my high school BFF over her bizarre love of dressing up as an elf and running around in the woods, I didn't think I'd ever want to play Truth or Dare again. You restored my faith in humankind. Thanks for reminding me.

Helena, if you ever need a slightly elitist, snarky, offensive and fun-spirited red head to save you from friendship with girls who wear t-shirts with wolves and fairies, It is my HONOR to scoop you up into my arms of friendship and ride off into the sunset in a Chrysler Sebring named Kevin G.
