I am probably heading in that direction. I am not sure how it happened but I used to play softball and now I can't even throw a ball hard anymore because I get a shooting pain in my shoulder, oh, and when I reach to grab something on the floor, it feels like the shoulder is going to come off the socket. The only good thing is that I have not suffered any pain while lifting...I am praying that I get to lose the weight and gain muscle before my shoulder goes... Well, enough about me....I'll keep you in my prayers..... |

Incase you do though, C4 is hard to get ahold of. So a substitute would be some flash powder(picked up at a costume shop, used for those old cameras) packed into some pvc pipe. If you like bombs, check out the Anarchist Cookbook. Its damn hard to find though..

I bet he eats the pellets though, starts to feel sick, and climbs into your engine bay in your car. That way when you use the air, he will have his final revenge

I'm with Premi on this one. Cook the little bastard. That's if you can catch him. |

I can imagine the conversation.....Dr says "Mr Tank's name, we need to start doing strengthening exercises"...Tank then says "Oh no, Doctor, already? I don't know if I can do this now"...This so that the doctor may believe he doesnt' want to do them and maybe prescribe stronger exercises to scare him some. Meanwhile tank is doing this inside himself because he fooled the doctor into giving him more work.....Man, I am glad they are going to let you do strengthening exercises already. You are due. Continue progressing, soon enough you'll be writing a book on how to come back from a shoulder injury faster than expected....Good luck |
i wouldnt make a good poster boy for the Lazy people in the world thats for sure!!

You are very inspiring despite your shoulder problem |
