You Can’t Keep A Good Man On Crutches, sent from the phone

Two months after my ankle was sliced into and the bones litterally bolted back together, I can now do the spectacular feat pictured. Yes, that’s right. Walking!

It is an uphill battle, sir, as the ankle is extremely vocal about what it does and does not want.

Man, walking is some crazy complex shit to relearn, as an adult, and I Commend and Applaud you, sir.

Thank you, sir.

The worst part is my left leg remembers how to walk, and wants to take large gallivanting steps, while my right leg is extremely confused and wants nothing more than to be dragged behind as a clubfoot.

I'm sure it will all work out in the end.

At Balticon 2009, Jared Axelrod was repeated bopped by Earl Newton, who would gleefully cry, "I'm beating up on the handicapped!"

That day, Axelrod swore vengeance.

He swore -- damn the doctors -- that he'd walk again. Walk right up to Earl Newton. And bop him.

This summer...

Jared Axelrod is...

I rather like that it forgot to log you in.

Gives it that "movie preview voice," but in text!

I can't wait until BOPPIN' 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO. Though BOPPIN' 3: DESTROY ALL MONSTERS looks promising as well.
