So, I'm grinding out a huge batch of sleek looking, but exceptionally angry Custom Fighters. . . just for BLADE '05. . . and apparently these bad boys cannot contain their need for speed, their lust for dust, or their compunction for destruction!!!!!! :eek:

Here's the rest of the story, Tuesday night, while grinding away, one of these rabid chunks of INFI decided that it might be kind of cool to launch a few heat seeking rounds at me. Now it is important to note that I ALWAYS wear protective gear, such as respirators, face shields, safety glasses, and of course my favorite grinding hat. Well, as I'm standing there grinding away on these crazed chunks of INFI, one of them decides that its time for me to "Behold The Power Of INFI"!!!! :eek: So, without any warning, a fish hook shaped grinding chunk comes under my face shield and smacks me square in the left eye!!! YOWZA!!! That hurt like all hootchy coo, but I continued to grind away until I was unable to see clearly through all of the tearing.

Then, I had no choice but to drink heavily. . . .well, it seemed like I had no choice!!! ;)

Anyway, after trying to fix it myself for a couple of days, I finally gave in and went to an eye injury specialist who plucked the hooked shard from my eye, thus allowing me to blink without screaming like a school girl for the first time in 3 days. . . Now, here's the cool part. . . After he removes it from my eye, he says, "This doesn't seem to behave like steel. It doesn't stay bent when I pinch it in the tweezers and it doesn't break either, it just keeps springing back into its original shape." I simply responded with "Behold the power of INFI!!!!" :D :cool:

Nuke on!!!!

Oowwwowowowowow!!!! Did your doctor have to do any cornea planing/shaving, too? Or did you luck out?
 
Wow!!! That's wicked bad cool.
Seriously, it's pretty amazing that anyone can tell the difference between steels from a tiny shard.
 
So, in two weeks will these INFI Eye knives be available? Seriously, glad you didn't lose your sight. And heed your Mother's advice...you'll cut your eye out if you aren't careful!
 
Ouch! Are you still able to see adequately through the Blue Lable goggles?

We might have blind artists, but blind knife grinders make me nervous. Repair thyself!

Cheers,
BillyJoeBob :D
 
Wow, glad to hear you survived the onslaught Jerry! :eek:

Might be time to think about taking on an apprentice though... your legacy is something that concerns us all... so let me know when you want me to fly out and learn how to grind!!!

...I am ready for a career change anyway :p
 
It's a good thing your okay, I know someone that lost an eye in an accident like that.

Wishing you a speedy recovery so you can make me a "budget" 10in Sub Hilt Fighter. ;)
 
Sounds like you need a better face shield!! Glad all is well now. You should have offered him an INFI scalpel as payment ;)
 
Really, a Skeleton Key would be a nice reward for him.

Glad you are o.k.

Wonder who the lucky hogs will be that get the "Blades of Tears"......????

How far off are their grinds???
 
Hey Jerry, Glad to hear that you are OK.
I' sure Jennifer is glad that the "school girl" screaming has finally ended. ;) :D

Do you need us Hogs to pitch in and buy you one of these?

I'm sure it could be customized with a JBL/CBL dispenser so that you could keep grinding all night without having to take a refreshment break. :cool:

Debris from the Roswell crash were purported to behave in the same manner. Hmmmmm... :D :D :D
 
So Jerry, is that where the phrase "INFI is in the eye of the JWB-holder" came from?? :rolleyes:
 
Jerry,

Since the renegade INFI shard found your eye despite the OSHA-approved safety precautions...you should probably stay away from the Red Rider bb-gun.
