rone: "Man, one of the other guys gave me a good kick on the shin.  It's sore."

Teammate: "Aren't you wearing shin guards?"

rone: "Sure, but it went right through it.  Just like this, whack!" [demonstrates by whacking leg with fist] "Ow.  OWWWWWW." [limps off to car]

I know that feeling. Shins sometimes meet in sparring matches, and yeah, despite gear, it still hurts. And I've done that same boneheaded maneuver afterwards too (although, my hand was open as opposed to closed for said demonstration).

rone doesn't do half-measures.

Don't assume an open hand is a half measure. I broke a board into three separate pieces just last night that way.

Oh yeah? Once _I_ broke a board just by yelling at it and hurting it's feelings.

Well, OK, I only broke its heart, but STILL.

What a bastard. I just hit them, I don't tease them.

I don't get it. Can you show me again what you did?

Once I stuck my finger into a CPU fan on a server, and shredded the end of it.

My coworker said "wow, that looks like it really hurt. How'd you do that?"

I said "I did this", and stuck another finger into the fan. And shreded the end of it.

It really hurt. Twice.

Broads respect the hand more than the attitude anyway.

What? We were talking about 'boards'? Oh, crap, uh.... nevermind.
