Self rack

[stretch]

I dunno...I thought my reaction exacted an appropriate response and I broke up with him very shortly afterwards. I hurt him way worse than he hurt me.

Part of me thinks it is awesome that guys are surprised that other guys act like this....but I am sure this same guy (who I haven't seen since I was 18) would say the same thing, you know?

I don't understand how a guy can do that.

I can understand it happening--a lot of high school guys are emotional and immature, and let their emotions get the better of them. Not saying that it's right by any means, but what happened to doc in this case doesn't sound that out of the ordinary. And I'd still kick a guy's arse if I saw him do it.

I read her sig and I sort of get it...



Wow, I felt terrible even joking about that.

The worst is the "graze." You know, when you barely hit 'em on something and you are thinking, "well, that was close. I thought that would....AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGG!" and you drop to your knees.

Yeah, what's the deal with the delayed pain? It's like the slowest part of the body to react. I'm a computer guy, and I imagine the signals to go something like this:

Testicle: Send <PAIN> signal to Brain.
Brain: Rec'd <PAIN> signal from Testicle, reject.
Testicle: Rec'd <DENIED> signal from Brain. Resend.
Brain: Rec'd <PAIN> signal from Testicle, reject.
Testicle: Rec'd <DENIED> signal from Brain. Send <PAIN><PAIN><PAIN><PAIN> to brain.
Brain: Rec'd flurry of <PAIN> signals, can not keep up. One slips through.
Brain: Send <VOMIT> signal to digestive system.

Explanation highlighted.

When I was 18 my boyfriend wanted to show me he was the boss of me after he had drank quite a bit.

At least in most of the instances I am aware of, drinking was involved.

That has to be one of the funniest things I have ever read.

I was playing 3 rd base a few months ago, and while I was doing aligator hands, the ball got past the gator and right into the nads. I was not wearing a cup, I grabbed the softball, and threw from my knees, got the guy at first, and then fell over and stayed there for a few min before getting up and finishing the game.

Alas, it doesn't surprise me in the least that some men do that, and worse.

Which depresses me quite a bit.

When you get racked, you just want to die. Yet, when guys see it happen in funniest home videos we laugh.

Talk about schadenfreude.

It has been explained as such:

"Tragedy is when something bad happens to me. Comedy is when something bad happens to you."

Yep. Me too.

One of the few times I've seen something like this was about a year and a half ago. I was over at a friends' house and her roommate (also a friend) was fighting loudly with her boyfriend. Well, the boyfriend was kind of an insecure redneck type (got blackout drunk constantly, acted like an idiot, no one liked him etc.) and when he found a sex toy in this girl's drawer he lost it.

He took a step back and two-hand shoved all 105 lbs of the poor girl as hard as he could. She went about 7-8 feet and stopped when her head hit the wall. I know stuff like that happens, e.g. my aunt actually seeks these kind of relationships out, but it was really horrible to see live and in-person.

My friend Kevin was also over when it happened, and the dénouement is probably the definition of TMI. I will say that after the fun stopped, while he was a little, uh, out of it, and we were sitting there waiting for the police, the girlfriend got mad again and decided to pull a Morten Anderson on his face. Someone getting the [expletive] kicked out of them, or kicked in the face in general is not a funny thing, but that was a definite lol moment.

I just remembered something. At some point the idiot got a hand free and successfully went for Kevin's manhood -- just to bring this post full circle. I remember Kevin saying "he's grabbing my balls he's grabbing my balls he's grabbing my balls he's grabbing my balls he's grabbing my balls" and it kind of cracked me up.
