I have one down the length of my right forearm, quite faint, from falling off a skateboard in one of those hilarious videos you've no doubt seen. Thing is, it didn't even hurt at the time, it was literally just a scrape, the top of the skin came off. Now I have a twatty looking scar the length of my arm for falling off a moving plank of wood.
On my bicep on the same arm, I have a nasty looking scar, but - here's the thing - I don't know where it came from. How spasticated is that? It happened while I was at uni, I just looked at my arm one day and found I had a scar there where there was no scar before. It kind of looks circular, like I fell on a glass or bottle or something, but the fact I'm scarred for life and don't know how I did it makes me feel stupid. It's not like I didn't remember cutting myself, it's that I don't remember the injury ever being there - how long does a cut take to scar? A week or more? I must have been drunk a long time.
I tell people my scars are from 'Nam.
Share your scar stories; it'll be like Jaws, only with nerds who fall off skateboards.
I slipped and the guy chasing me stood on my right hand as it was on the ground. Cue my hand being dragged along the surface for a good few seconds.
So I have scars all over that.
Also, I split my head open years ago and have a brilliant scar on the corner of my forehead. I tell people I headbutted a bear.
Oh, and I was in a wheelchair for 3 months afterwards, so it's ok for me to make fun of Timmy. I feel you pain, man, I've been there. I wasn't allowed to bend my leg because it was across the knee, so I had a chair with a wooden board and a Wombles pillow. All the cool kids get crutches - I get made a crip. To make things worse, on my first attempt at walking I fell down the stairs and it all came undone - queue trip to hospital to fix me up.
The fact that it was acquired via the much-less-cool means of an operation to remove a blemish, and the stitches then split cos I kept picking at them is entirely by the by.
