Sympathy for oldscratch

Why yes, it kind of is like sympathy for the Devil!

It seems our dear friend oldscratch has broken his left wrist. How? I don’t know, I’m waiting for him to painfully type out the story to me. But I’m sure it’s one hell of a story. (Hint hint, oldscratch… waiting to hear it!)

But he’s really angry because he’s left handed (aren’t all the good ones?) and he has to type one-handed.

So let’s all send him some sympathy! But be patient if it takes him forever to reply, he’s one-handed for a while.

Oldscratch: Does your injury involve any slinkies? :wink:

Oldscratch…I hope you’re feeling better!

::hands Oldie a virtual bottle of Gray Goose vodka::

Hey, at least you can still do shots one-handed! I’ll mix!

(Get well soon!)

Oldie! What happened? Did you do something drastic because I blew you off last weekend?
Anyway, don’t worry, I’ve been typing one handed for years. It’s not that hard, um I mean difficult.

oldscratch: I’m sorry you hurt your hand masturbating…

I hope the person you were doing it to appreciated your sacrifice though! :smiley:

Get well soon, and I hope that your posts dont dtart to loo0o leiek tgh9is!


Yer pal,

One-handed typing gets that much harder.

Yo scratch, get well in time for the dopefest at SeaDiver’s on December 2nd.

Details are at this thread.

Hope you’re feeling better soon.

Ow! My boating arm!

[/Homer]

when a friend of ours broke his shoulder(?) anyhow, he couldn’t move/use one arm, we set up a list of things he could do with only one hand, they included:

join the Lord of the Dance troop
take up soccer
well, you know…
play the maraca
wax on, but not wax off
play the slot machines in Vegas

etc.

maybe to make ** oldscratch ** feel better, we could come up with a list while we’re commiserating and offering sympathy?

Well, I got some details on how this injury occurred, and I have to be honest with you, oldscratch, I’m disappointed. You could’ve come up with a really out-there story for us! :wink:

For the curious, it involves Land’s End, some cliffs, falling and breaking his wrist and “injuring various other parts”, (hmm he didn’t provide details on that last one… maybe some story material there after all). I’ll let him fill you in on the details when he gets around to typing it all out himself.

Hey waitaminit, is this part of the “get Rasa to move to San Fransicso” ploy, oldscratch?

Healing thoughts coming your way, oldscratch!

Hey Oldie, I forgot the preamble to the constitution, could you type it out for me?

:smiley:

“Injuring various other parts,” eh? Oh well, with your wrist out of commission it doesn’t matter. :smiley:

I hope you heal quickly, oldscratch. I also hope you pick up using toilet paper with your off-hand.

Um, if you “blew him off”, it wouldn’t be his hand that hurts. :stuck_out_tongue:

Oh, and there’s something interesting about Satan accusing Oldscratch of masturbating…

Seriously, Oldscratch, I hope your wrist heals soon.

Get better soon Oldscratch. I am sure Satan didn’t mean anything by what he said (like hell he didn’t).

Hey, can you demonstrate the sound of one hand clapping for us, oldscratch?

And we thought his spelling was atrocious before…

Hope those vikes are helping.

This message was brought to you by the letter K.

Don’t worry, oldscratch. Some of us old Dopers have been there…I broke my left wrist playing basketball 12 years ago.

Soon enough, you will learn, as I did, the secret of successfully typing captial letters with one hand. (Just hit the shift key with your nose.)

And this would be different how?
:wink:

Feel better, oldscratch!

Yep. Criple checking in. I’ve been semi absent from the boards the past couple weeks. The blame can be laid solely at the feet of the Irish. They truly are an evil evil people. Every last one of them.

But, every cloud has a silver lining. With this injury I can work on my much anticipated Vicodine addiction. Soon, I’ll be joining the elite likes of Matthew Perry and Brett Favre.

In that case, this is for you Devil!
** How to be kind to the Devil** :smiley:

:eek: Oh wait! I’m so embarrassed! This is about a poster. I thought it was about sympathy for the Devil, as in Devil worship. I’m so ashamed :frowning:

Hope you get better soon oldscratch!
