I paid £75 for a £250 Kookabura Ultralight stick
because it was "last years colour"

It's lovely.

I used to like a bit of hockey at school
as I was a zillion times better at it that football.

I used to really like real hockey

Actually, that's a lie, I hated skating. Pick-up hockey is the best. People who want to skate, skate, those who don't want too, don't.
And you can yell "GAME OFF" and "GAME ON" every time a car comes down the road.

Yeah', although we played it before then, Da' was big in the hockey game.

I've got a few hockey-playing mates
proper hockey, not pissing about on skates.

I've got some ice-hockey mates, played for MK.
They were fucking hard as nails and amazing on blades.

they might be personally
but ice hockey's not a "hard" game. They all wear armour, for fucks sake.

Is that a hockey stick?

(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Tue 2 Aug 2011, 13:06, Reply)

yes
because paying £75 just for "a stick" would be retarded even by my standards.

It's a hollow-core full carbon stick. It weighs nothing and is insanely powerful.

£250 full price is a bit steep!

yeah, it's cheaper this year

Gryphon sticks are where it's at if you want to be properly anally raped over cost

£315
To play a girl's game?
(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Tue 2 Aug 2011, 13:18, Reply)

I wouldn't play hockey with girls, fucking much meaner than male players.

too fucking right

( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Tue 2 Aug 2011, 13:21, Reply)

haha, yeah, course.
I do love the fact that the lightweight "dancing on ice" version of hockey where they all wear body armour like some bunch of Marys is somehow butch but proper hockey is girly. It's a genius piece of thinking.

Obviously, my socks, patella support, gumshield and shammy are all pink though, I mean I wouldn't want to disappoint.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Tue 2 Aug 2011, 13:24, Reply)

I know, it's crazy.
The skaters have teeth and shit missing though and actually have punch ups.
(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Tue 2 Aug 2011, 13:36, Reply)

Nice try. But I'm missing four teeth
have had three recostruction operations to my maxilla and palette in the last 18 months and picked up a hefty ban years ago for breaking some guy's ribs.

Next? ;)

No offence
but I'd rather not be memed.

You can have the initial Xray though.

note the three teeth hanging on by a combination of roof lining and pieces of palette.

it's rotated 90 degrees anticlockwise from where it should be
and .. yeah.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Tue 2 Aug 2011, 14:02, Reply)

Did they wire it all up?
I spent a hilarious month last year offering large food items to a mate who'd smashed his jaw and had it wired up. I had to search high and low for a massive gobstopper but it was totally worth it.
( Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Tue 2 Aug 2011, 14:01, Reply)

they couldn't
they can only do that with the lower jaw, the maxilla and palette aren't so solid or easy to repair. Actually it wasn't that bad, except for the bone graft to repair the upper jaw. Never agree to have a bone graft done under local anasthetic.

Is your face straight or is it a bit pissed?
Friend of mine had a similar injury and his face is a bit...well, askew.
(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Tue 2 Aug 2011, 14:07, Reply)

no real change to the external look
except no teeth, obviously, but that changes on thursday. The graft meant my lower jaw changed shape where they cut bone out but it's fairly symmetrical.

If I strike him down
he will only come back more powerful that you can ever imagine, or something.
