Conquer Club

What was your first injury that broke something other than your pride?

Me- a broken finger playing rugby.

I've never broken anything #IronLady #Thatcher2k16

Ironic given my profile pic but what can you do huh

I've played 8 years of football, never broke a bone
Long live calcium.

I should really have put a "Nothing can break me!" Option in the poll for the floaters.

Does breaking someone else's bones count?
Or does breaking a tooth count?

No.

broke thumb twice (once with a bad fall on my ski pole, once wasted falling from a bunk bed onto a desk)
broke a vertebra twice (once canyoning, once snowboarding)
broke ankle once (downhill joyride on a bicycle)

and that's about it

Finger.

Loading fieldstone onto a truck, my father dropped one on my hand. I suppose I was lucky it was only one finger broken.

I once got jumped by 6 dudes and they broke my nose. I guess that's what happens when you pull a knife on one of them 2 years earlier. Payback a bitch.

Ok, it seems you never took any physical risks, girlie-boy.

I broke my fingers and toes, more than I can count. Broke my nose, ribs and 2 vertebrae. All on different occasions, sports, fights and one car wreck.

Now at my advance age, I try to avoid fights, contact sports and driving recklessly. Guess you can call me girlie-man now.

And that, my friends, is why you should eat a proper, nutritious diet in your early years. Otherwise you'll end up like Mr Glass over here.

You should also add, avoid playing with other kids, sports, conflicts, riding bikes, driving cars, jealous women, drinking alcohol, bars and even pool tables in bars.

Ah, but what was your first?

Never broke anything, but I did micro fracture my ankle while playing soccer

I've played competitive rugby for about 13 years now, among other things.

As a heads up, "competitive rugby" is code for "touch rugby".

My first big break came when I auditioned for the cast of my local civic theater's production of Annie when I was 14. I got cast as the dancing eggplant. Only later did I find out there was no part for a dancing eggplant in Annie. Nonetheless, my performance killed and I was lauded by all the neighborhood weeklies. It opened the door to my current starring role on Conquer Club OT.

Well geee, you didn't even break a single tiny bone or nose in those 13 years? Was this league for "special need kids" ?

I was constantly breaking fingers and toes, when I was a young tike. I believe I broke one of my fingers when I was 4 or 5.

Arm twice (once in a fall, once in a car wreck). A few ribs and several fingers. The arm was first.

shattered my calcanus(?)-heel bone- when I was winding up for one of my trademark Paul coffeyesque rushes when my skate blew apart and I smashed my heel against the boards. hurt real lots, that one. broke 2 toes when a dumb roughneck I had decided to drop his end of a pup joint we were carrying, idiot. he was fired within a week and I was put on modified light for a month...

Across the three teams I played for during that time I saw one person break their back playing juniors, but other than that I can't recall anyone ever breaking a bone in a game.
