Enchondroma

It turns out I had this in my middle finger, which is why it snapped like a pretzel log when I landed on it funny. So the doctors rebroke my finger, cleaned out all the tumory tissue, and put a few pins in to keep everything set. The result is that I'm only typing with one hand, not playing ultimate, and not getting into any fist fights for the next four weeks. (I'm really upset about the fist-fights) In a few weeks though the cast will come off and the pins will come out, and after a few more weeks of therapy beyond that I'll be back to normal.

So in the abscence of typing acuity I'll try to post some interesting stuff from other people and other sites, as well as post some older stuff that I wrote but didn't think was good enough to post initially. (Actually, I probably won't subject anyone to that.)

The thing that upsets me the most is that I'm failing in my duties to a true Chicago legend, a man who has inspired so many to achieve the pinnacles of greatness they hold within themselves. Because of my injury, and the injury to my fellow roommate, our spring league team will have difficulties in keeping to the high standards that Lieutenant-Major Bill Finn has held himself, and the Chicago ultimate community to. From the CUSL website - "Player's total win/loss/tie record: 112-36-1 ( 0.75% )" Legendary doesn't even begin to describe this accomplishment. So I just wanted to take this opportunity to apologize not just to Bill, but to the community as a whole for letting down their hero.

But I'll be fine in time for the tournament. PRINT OUT THE SHIRTS!

I don't know anyone other than Gary with those type of numbers... Gary's numbers: 161-56-1 (74%)

If you Gary wins 2 games or more than your team, Gary will once again overtake Bill Finn in percentage of games won... it's on, now!

Who has the worst percentage in the league, Keith? (minimum 100 games played)
