Occupational Hazard

Have you ever felt your hair and thought "Holy shit, my hair is SOFT!" and then realized it's only because you haven't washed it in 3 days?

Now before you judge me too much, this is why I just had this experience...
This was actually taken the day after it happened. Believe me, I have a picture on my phone post a few hours after and there's way more blood and nasty bits.

Incase anyone's wondering "WTF mate? fucking kangaroos." That's what's known as an "Occupational Hazard." Being a dog trainer and working in a kennel at an animal hospital and it's bound to happen. There was a fight between two dogs and I got in the middle of it.
I've had to break up a few dog fights before and have gotten lucky, coming out with only superficial wounds at worst. This time, not so lucky.
This one looks like nothing, but it's actually one of the worst. That's a fang hole about an 1/8th of an inch deep, on the top of my hand. On the thumb pic, you can;t make it out but his tooth actually cracked and went through my nail.

After what felt like an hour, but I'm sure was closer to 60 seconds, I got the 2 dogs separated, but got bit in the process. Now, some of my more sharp eyed readers my be thinking "Well goly, lucky it was your left hand at least."

One problem.

I'm left handed.

Oh well, watcha gonna do?
Anyways, to keep this at least somewhat card based, let me bang out a few trades. No contest at the end of this one though, sorry.

Our first endeavor happened sooooo long ago but it needs to be posted because it's a Piazza.
My game used card collection is very thin, in all my collections. Piazza, Wright, Mets, the most being in my Piazza collection sitting at only about 15 or so. This came courtesy of Nick, from For Cards Sake who's currently on a hiatus as he's en route to college. Phhfffttt, college. I went to school for dog training, and just look at me!

Let's see, what's next. Let's go with...
"O" No!!! Another Orioles Blog! Is there any team the blue refractors look better on than the Mets? And if there is, I don't wanna hear it.

One more from reader Adam. This trade was done quite some time ago as well, but deserves its fair share...
Despite all the minis and a Wright insert and a Piazza I didn't have, the real highlight was knocking off three cards that were (at the time) on my 10 most wanted list. All three finished off team sets for me and brought me ever so closer to total 1980's Mets cardboard domination.

p.s- if you get a trade package from me within the next week or so and it looks like a 4 year old wrote the address, it's because I had to write it out with my right hand. Sorry, just point and laugh and enjoy the cards!
