…pansy little girlie man…

i’ve been reading of heroic figures from the late 1800′s to early
1900′s. these guys are the epitome of manliness. they pry out puss
from gashing wounds with bowie knives and a stick in their mouth. they
stand 4 feet from 400 pound jaguars with nothing but a spear. they sit
in their own traps pursuading man-eating lions to enter…

and then there’s me and my foot that’s just been run over by a brand
new mercedes and i feel like a pansy little girlie man, sitting in an
emergency room. not exactly heroic. maybe i should have amputated my
foot and then crawled by my chin to the hospital. that would have been
a lot more exciting.
