I used my EDC for more than opening chip bags and boxes today.

I'll admit that mental disease is as common in my family as crotch rot is to a hooker, but the only thing here is a high pain tolerance mixed with extreme boredom.
 
I'd also like you to post a picture, but when I think about it, I don't think I want to see it.

Still, though, that's awful hardcore.

A hobby can improve your life satisfaction a great deal, but choosing a hobby is important. Some hobbies involve large expenditures of money, some require too much space for apartment dwellers, some involve cutting bits off yourself....

How can a hobby like that be a comfort to you in your old age? You won't have any bits left. If it takes you twenty minutes to cut off a half-inch square, and you do that every day for the next fifty years ... Perhaps you should consider taking up a different hobby, one that you can enjoy all your life.

Many of us enjoy sharpening knives. You can spend a very pleasant evening sharpening up all the knives you have to a hair-popping razor edge, and then you can strop them. When you run out of knives you can start in on your wife's or mother's kitchen knives, your friends' knives, your friends' friends' knives, your friends' friends' cousins' barbers' sisters-in-law's knives....

Some of us do eventually run out of knives to sharpen, but there's a solution to that too -- make your own knives! Then when you have more knives than you know what to do with you can give knives to your friends, your friends' friends, etc., and when you've given a knife to your friend's friend's cousin's barber's sister-in-law and there's no one left in town who's willing to take a knife off your hands, you can get a knifemaker membership here and sell your knives in the Knife Maker's section. You can make money that way ... with money you could pay a real surgeon to cut bits off for you, if that's what you want....
 
You are quite lucky that you didn't sever your temporal artery. That would have been quite a mess which could easily caused you to fall into shock and then bleed to death while passed out. Be smart at least have someone present the next time you try something like that.
 
I knew I had no practical reason to do this, it would leave a wound, it would cause pain, may get me in trouble, may even get infected, blah blah... but I was really bored.

Alllllrighty then. You're bored so you whittle on your head. Smaaaart. You are only a bad infection away from a Darwin Award!

Let me third what trane_fan suggested, and you might want to stay away from sharp objects. You might get bored taking a whiz and cut your pecker off!

That reminds me of a story a friend of mine told me about his cat, the morning paper, and getting locked out of the house naked. I asked him why he would tell anyone a story that made him sound so stupid. I also told him that if it had been me, nobody would know but me and the cat, and if he talked he'd be one dead damned cat.
 
I will try my best not to flame here...but honestly...were you seeking approval by posting this? This is one of the most idiotic things I've ever read. You have no idea how many things could go wrong when doing something like that. You are not macho for cutting your head and you'll get no added respect for bragging about your "mental illness" and "high pain tollerance".

Next time you get bored and decide to do something dumb, go sharpen knives, play a game, or even READ A BOOK.

You could really get hurt doing something like that, and avoiding any future retardedness is probably a good bet. We wouldn't want to see your name in the paper next to www.bladeforums.com now would we. ;)
 
I feel for your Dad, dude. I, too, have an idiot son. When he was 14, he and some buddies kept the flame lit on a bic long enough to get the metal portion searing hot, then pressed it to their forearms thereby branding themselves. He tried to compare it to my tatoo, but I explained to him that my tatoo was done by an artist in a place where it won't be seen unless I'm half nekkid. I also reminded him of what I had told him many times: When I awoke the next day, I immediately thought I shoulda just got "DUH!" tatooed on my forehead. The only really stupid thing he has done since then was that Frankenstein looking dumbell thing (and I do mean DUMB) he pierced through his eyebrow a few years ago. Since there is very little culling done in the human gene pool these days, and because there are millions of walking talking irrefutable arguements for liberalized abortions, and it's too late for you, I do highly reccomend the aforementioned self-styled vasectomy. Good luck, hoss, and pass my condolences along to your Dad.
 
Ouch, if your going to use your EDC cut a sliver or open up a wound because it's infected thats okay as long as its NOT ON YOUR TEMPLE OR YOUR HEAD!

Hey, c'mon Stich, I already have enough anxiety about my kids without reading this. My oldest is 15, and I don't even want to think about the hormone - fueled, adolescent stream - of - thought kinds of ideas that might be running through his brain right now. Though, come to think of it, I guess there are plenty of thing worse than a "Bic tattoo". Yeah, it's stupid (and cutting a cyst out of your forehead is right up there, too, Mr. Might Goat), but at least it doesn't sound fatal.
 
I think a Dremel Mototool would have worked better. :D One of those coarse diamond wheels.

So, are you going to save that little chunk and have it stabilized? It might make a nice inlay on some knife handle one of these days. :barf:
 
Nathan, no sweat. Just keep plenty of phenobarbitol and/or alcohol handy but away from your chillin's, and you'll survive. They will too. My eldest son, the idiot, is 21 now and on his way to manhood. He may yet become breedable material. My youngest is 14 and very responsible and mature for his age. Except that they both are extremely nice guys and very intelligent, they are about opposites. Go figure.
 
Coming from a medical perspective, I can honestly say that you are a moron. I also see that you've deleted your age from your "How old are you" thread. Don't want to be called a stupid kid I bet. Well, you've earned it. I'll be crossing my fingers hoping you don't get an infection.

No, I don't care what people think of me. But that thread caused some legal trouble that I don't want being stirred up again. I don't mean that I plan on doing anything illegal and I want to cover it up; I will be doing everything legal from now on (at the time, I thought I was already doing everything legal, I suppose technically I wasn't), but I don't want questions about the matter either.

It's pretty obvious that this thread was not well recieved. I don't want to become disliked on this forum, because it is a very helpful and valuable community, and until this thread (which, unfortunately, I am responsible for) I have seen no displays of hostility here. To stay off people's bad side, I will not try to argue with anyone, and I plan to refrain from making any similar post in the future. However, I would like to say one thing: I may have done something stupid, but that does not nessisarily make me stupid. I was fully aware of all the possible risks and consequences of this procedure before I began it, and I was willing to continue and be held responsible. If I had just done this blindly on impulse, I would be an idiot for doing so, but I considered all aspects of it carefully in advance. It's true that I had no important reason to do such a thing, so it would seem that taking the risk would not be worth it, but that is an opinion. In my opinion the risk was worthwhile, and since it's my life I believe my opinion is the only one that matters.

I'm sorry for disrupting what seems to be a generally peaceful and respectful forum with my apparently immature and attention-seeking post. It won't happen again.
 
I would suggest NOT doing this again. Especially as a simple cyst, not growing or spreading, is generally nothing to worry about, and even if it WAS growing or spreading, this is NOT the way to deal with it.

I have several cysts, that I've had for a long time, and I just ignore them. one on my right thigh always gets a little bit of conversatoin going when girl's hand is on that thigh, and helps keep things loose and comfortable as we head on to bigger and better thigns. ;)

So yeah, in future, when you feel like doing this, go pound your hand with a hammer or something. safer way to pass your time.
 
Who could dislike an individual as honest as you?

This is just a suggestion, but, the next time you get THAT bored, try polishing the Bishop instead. That way, you'll only have to deal with insanity...instead of infection! :D
