re: #499 mid_aged_man

I hadn’t heard of this injury until Saturday at the ER. If Wilson suffered from the same condition, I was pointing out that he might be talking on the phone and walking around. My son called me and was describing the accident 10 minutes after it occurred. Within about three hours, though, the left side of his face had swollen and he could barely see out of his eye.

I don’t know who the hell Hoft is. I shouldn’t have inserted myself and comments into this absolutely homogenous circle jerk.

If you read the article you replied to, you should have some idea of who Hoft is.

We’ve had a lot of trolls show up and post in dead threads recently (which is what this is - the active thread is typically the first post on the main page) and so her question was somewhat valid.

If you’d like to learn some more about the community before you call us a “homogenous circle jerk,” please feel free to join us upstairs.
