  1. yesturday i put 2 gether my torker tx and i finally got it put 2 gether
    i used the back of my dads pick up 2 mount on it (it says its five feet
    but thats with the seat post al the way down)
    any ways i had about 45 minits of high fling fun when i was came off of
    it i hit a little bump the bump was just big enought 2 roll my ancle so
    i would land ont the side off it and i heard a muffled crack i was like
    "[censored] i broke it" i tried 2 move it for examination and it poped in and
    out of place wildly

    i got up on one foot and tried 2 walk on it, it was a not going 2 let
    me put any pressure on it i lowered the seat post on the tx and used as
    sort off a crutch just enough 2 lett me beable 2 hobble on 2 the garage
    with out falling
    i took off both my shoes 2 compare them, my right foot was swollen and
    starting 2 bruise my mom drove me 2 the emergency room and like all my
    other emergency rooms they go by this moto "hey, im not going home soon
    so why should you"

    so we waited for hours and hours untill they finally got me into
    x-rays. it seemed as if they were trying there best 2 put my foot in
    every painfull position as posible they took like 20 of em'

    long story short they cant find if its broke just yet but im going back
    there on tuesday for some more x-rays

    but for the short time i rode high in the sky like a apple pie....and
    it was great .....I REGRET NOTHING!!

    im sure there were twenty of them. Your spelling is also very poor.

    Sucks about your ankle though, i hate injurys.

    Mike, I think those remarks are in poor taste. You never make fun of
    someone until you know of the full extent of their injuries and they
    have begun to recover.

    After you know that they won't die or be permanently disabled, THEN
    (and I reiterate: -only- then) you may laugh at them.

    EDIT: And just because you accused dorfman's spelling of being poor,
    let's correct and rewrite your post:
    "Wow! I am sure that the emergency service tried to keep you there,
    and I'm sure that there were twenty X-rays. Your spelling is also very
    poor. It sucks about your ankle, though; I hate injuries."

    You are right, I shouldnt have said that. I do not think he is
    "permanently disabled" but i suppose he could be. My spelling is not
    the best but i feel it is at a much higher standard than others my age.
    Ohh, but not yours.

    there are three ways to dismount...one is to fall off, which isn't
    usually as successful. another is the Timber method in which you put
    one pedal all the way down so the wheel will not roll at all, take the
    other foot off as you fall forward, and land on the ground about five
    feet away from where you were a second ago. the third is to not put
    one pedal all the way down and just take both feet off the pedals and
    drop straight down, letting the unicycle roll either in front of you or
    behind you. I don't like this method, because if you're next to a wall
    the wheel could hit and stop rolling very suddenly, and depending on
    which direction the wheel was rolling away, you could cause injury to
    either your tailbone or your family jewels.

  18. You hurt your ankle because God hates you for learning how to type by
    text messages and IMs. IT'S TOO OR TWO OR TO, NOT "2."

    The typing of the entire generation behind me is going down the drain
    because of AOL.

    That really is a bummer about your ankle though. Get better soon!

  19. How old are you, Seager? I'd like to know which generation you're
    talking about.

    And if you want to really argue like that, this generation's typing is
    probably BETTER than yours because of all this internet [censored].

    They just don't know their native language is all.

    And I forgot to wish Dorfman a speedy recovery with all my ranting.
    Apologies and good wishes, fellow unicyclist!
