I've taken up interpretive dance

This is a pic of my knee after a fall this morning. Got some swelling goin on, also took some damage to one elbo and have a bruise on my back. I'm just waiting for the security camera video of it to show up on YouTube. The pre-landing, anti-gravity interpretive dance was epic.

I started it with a simple "hook your toe on a half inch of concrete" moron maneuver. This really set the theme for the whole show, simple, yet elegant and entertaining.

I followed that seamlessly with a triple "split your pelvic bone" with a full recovery and a complete "Fred Flintstone get your car movin". Not everyone can pull that off in front of a crowd.

Then I immediately went into my own version of the difficult to complete "double reverse half nelson on the elbo" with a roll and a half landing into an icy water puddle.

The attending judges scored me a 9.9, 10.0, 10.0, and 9.7. The 9.7 judge wasn't wearing her glasses tho.

You aren't the only one bub! Last week I took a header off my porch in the middle of the night. I'll post the shots of me tomorrow.
 
Did you really have that many witnesses/judges? Were you able to work that all out yourself, or did you get help on that intricate description from your witnesses?
 
You reminded me of seeing a boss at work take a tumble. By looks he could have been a "Boss Hog" of the Dukes of Hazard impersonator. His feet went out forward and I swear for a nanosecond he was suspended horizonally 2' above the ground. Wouldn't have been funny if any more than his ego was bruised. Glad you have a sense of humor about your mis-step.
 
I hooked my foot on an inch of exposed concrete last summer; the fall broke my right shoulder and I'm still suffering from that!

Like my doctor says: "Old people don't bounce."
 
not funny but you had me crying this morning.i can so relate to your break dancing...no dancing on the job....dewy,,,,i also no the moron manuver
 
sorry for the fall, but i'm laughing at the description, especially the fred flintstone reference. boy does that conjure up an image! maybe the 9.7 judge was from east germany? remember the olympics from about 1985? if that was the case, you would have gotten a 5.6 on your last score.
 

I paused to think about this sort of thing when I narrowly recovered from a slip on ice last week. The only way to avoid such performances is to sit at home, and most of us aren't ready for that yet. I will be looking for the video. Any suggestions what to search for?
 
I walked off the back of a weights and measure scale truck one time. Eight ft down good thing the earth stopped my fall.Of course I had to lay there awhile. Looking up at the sky.Trying to breath.
 
Hope all is well tomorrow! Loved your description of moment. Were you humming any specific tune or did the crowd furnish the music?
Sounds like you still have the moves!
 
To make you feel better,I want you to know your a famous person because of yt.I was driving up rt 9 yesterday between Charles Town and Martinsburs WV and beside me came a big blue Dart truck.I don't think I have ever seen a dart truck around here,and I watch trucks all the time.I automatically though of you

I fell off a roof about 9 feet high last spring, first time falling off a roof other than in the winter when shoveling snow. I landed on my back and was unable to breathe for what felt like a long time but was probably only a few seconds. Luckily there was nothing there to land on but the ground or it would have been much less pleasant than it was, which isn't saying much. Not one of my best ideas.

Well it happened at Proctor and Gambel in Lima Oh.,
but I'm watching for a label something to the effect
"moron truck driver takes a header for no reason".
 
Very nice description. Not funny that you fell but the description ranks up there with the todays funny. Must be the week for falls. I did my two for this week. Hope that is it. All I got was a look from the dog and I said a few words to myself.
 
Great dance! I tried a little gymnastic maneuver last week. I met Mr. Black Ice as I was going down my porch steps and I entertained him by doing a triple tumble sault and making a perfect landing, upright, on my as..whoops. lower back.

I looked around but I had no audience to rate my great performance. I think I was cheated out of at least a bronze medal.
 
I did a similar thing while mowing the grass a few years ago but I'm just a beginner not a seasoned pro like yourself. Had a colony of yellow jackets providing instruction.
 
I can see it now, I would have started with a "run into a spider web in the dark", then a quick "Olympic hurdler" and finnished with a "get in the kitchen just ahead of the bully" for a neat and high scoring short program. Lol
 
Last winter I fell on the ice on a Thursday night, Friday morning about 6am and Sat. afternoon on 3 consecutive days, first 2 in my driveway and 3rd in frt of my mailbox on the edge of the hiway which took a lot of effort to get up from.

MRI scheduled for next Friday, legs been going numb since July, wondering if the failed dance moves were a contributing factor.
 
Jon, you were very close to me, I live about 18 mile south and 3 mile west of that plant.
 
Sorry for the injury...never any fun.

But shoot - my husband, daughter and I all laughed uproariously at your impeccably superb writing skills. We determined that if you can no longer drive a big rig after your interpretive dance... at least you have a bright future as an author or a "sit-down" comedian.

And yeah - we all felt it was okay to laugh because we've all been there, done that - at some point or two or twenty - in our lives.
 
Gab are they going to do the MRI of your back or neck? For me it was the neck causing the same symptoms you have anytime I would slip on the ice or jerk around. Back was MRI'd first and the doctor didn't get excited about the pics so he sent me back to the MRI for the neck and was real excited when he saw those pics.
 
I'll be back up there on monday, might have time to get together for a cup of coffee if you like.
