Shortly before kickoff, almost two weeks ago, someone handed me a small solid black flag on a plastic stick. As I began to wave it, part of it broke off and lodged itself into the side of my palm. Finally, today, 12 days later, it came out. That thing had really bothered me, but it is now in the past. Does this mean that I can now put the other pain from that game behind me? The pain of losing has stuck in my stomach like that damed splinter. Can they both really be gone or will one linger throughout the long, cold winter?
I thought this was about the Smallville episode last night. Clark had a silver kryptonite splinter in his body and it got removed.
HOW ABOUT PUTTING A ********ING [R] IN YOUR POST TITLE OR SOMETHING? SOME OF US HAVE TIVO YOU JERK. ********. Just kidding, I don't watch that show.
12 days?! My father had one in for about half that time and got blood poisoning. Now that I think about it though, it did turn his arm black and red. Of course it was about the length of a penny.
