Is Clayton Ok?
Hey Clayton- Check in and let us know if you are okay. I hope you are.
I hope the police can figure out who did this to you. It is a small town, yes?
Oh for fuck’s sake… What the hell is wrong with people?
Clay, check in, man.
I’m kicking myself… It crossed my mind to ask (and then I never did) if you had some form of self defense on hand, pepper spray, mace, whateveritis that’s legal in your area.
Dammit.
That is horrible!
I hope the paper follows that up in the story.
Holy crap! clay, when you get out of bed get back on here and tell us how you are.
What is wrong with some people?
clayton, that’s pretty fucking wrong.
Sorry your fun had to be ruined by some sub-human trash.
Hope you’re not in too bad a shape.
bella
That does suck, man, may I apologize on behalf of my species?
Hopefully the paper will follow up with this… makes it more marketable, I guess, so they might.
Strangely ironic. It would have been better had they shown up around 5:15 a.m.
Clay, hope you’re OK. What a bummer way to almost finish your 24 hours.
Hi all. I’m ok, they took a bunch of x-rays, nothing was broken.
The real irony, the guy who was doing my x-rays walked past with his dogs last night around 11 or so, he stopped in and said hello.
My head hurts, my face is swelled up, my foot is sore… I’m going back to bed in a few.
I couldn’t sleep like i wanted to, I had to go look at mug shots in the police dpt, then to the hospital, then to the police department again for more mug shots/statements.
I’m in pain, but nothing’s broken. so i’m happy.
Good to see you’re alive and kicking, clayton!
{{{{{{clayton_e}}}}}}}, that is just awful! I declare. I just don’t understand. What is this world coming to when folks can’t sit on a park bench at 5 in the morning in peace without being accosted by all kinds of lowlifes and riff-raff? [sigh]
I’m glad to hear nothing’s broken or otherwise seriously damaged. You go back to bed and rest and concentrate on feeling better, hon.
clayton_e,
I have to admit…when I saw this thread and your idea, I thought it was idiotic. However, you piqued my curiosity. I read all the related threads, read your journal entries, and even checked out the pics on your web site.
Even though I thought this experiment was hare-brained, I am in utter shock and disgust that you got jumped by a bunch of thugs. I’m with jjtm…I’d like to apologize on behalf of all humans. There is no excuse for that. I hope you’re ok.
Well, I hope you decide to do more of…whatever you do. You’ve certainly got verve. It seems to make you happy and it gives “people a break from their everyday lives”. It did for me. Thanks.

yeah d12?
I’m ok. Went to the eye doctor today (everything’s fine). Tomorrow is the police again to look at more mugshots.
Overall I’m one lucky bastard.
And I thank God for the guy who lived across the street. He came down just in time. If he hadn’t I don’t know if they would’ve stopped.
I’m sore, but I’m ok.
This is to all the female hotties:
CLAY NEEDS YOUR NAKED SUPPORT. GIVE HIM SUMTHING WORTH GETTING UP FOR, LOL. I suggest going over to his house in a tight white shirt, and have him squirt you with a super soaker. AND BRING YOUR FRIENDS! Clays not a bad looking guy, and he could sure use the love u guys could give him. Shit, check out my site, i broke my arm, and no body cared. 2 metal platez, 12 screws, im a bionic man now. And if u think im hott, please IM me. Thanx for your attention, heres the site: http://groups.msn.com/VisualBiographyofChristianDavidCardon/_whatsnew.msnw?pgmarket=en-us
WITH NUMBER 10 DORRANCE STEEL-PLATED HOOKS!
(very sorry)
Anyway, Clay, this sounded like such a fun wacky idea, the sort of thing I might do. I’m sorry it ended in such shit. Isn’t it sad that some people are so frightened of the least little difference or eccentricity in the conduct of other people’s day to day lives that they take it on themselves to enforce it with violence? Shit, if you can get beat up for just sitting on a bench…

hugs
And it was great to see you at Dopereal. Maybe you should try this in Mtl. (Not in January though.)
Gr, this thing pissed me off enough to start a pit thread:

Good to hear you’re in decent shape, anyway, Clay. Sorry the whole deal ended this way, man.
Good to hear you’re okay, It’s a shame it didn’t work out.
I still want to try this for myself.
