Who ISN'T a gimp?
Man, seems like there are a lot of us currently on the injured reserve list. Just off the top of my head, I can think of:

But I'll be un-gimped in a mere couple of weeks!
(Well at least I'll be starting to ski groomers and such...)

I'm sitting here with a cast on my left hand due to a rather unfriendly encounter with slush pile at high speed. Prognosis is a broken metacarpal and a partially torn tendon. Luckily, I don't need surgery, but I have to wear this cast for a month, then rehab the thumb.
Do you know how hard it is to do stuff without an opposable thumb?!?Of all the muthafuckas on earth, you the muthafuckest.

Thanks bro. So what's up with your shoulder? I know you said you hurt it, but what is the final word.

I'm not, but I have the potential to become one any day in abot 2 or 3 hours if a stupid piece of vegetable I didn't chew well enough gets stuck halfway down my system.

Well, the back x-rays came back negative, which I suppose is a good thing. Waiting on Doc to see if he's going to order an MRI...

I became a gimp shortly after discovering this board. I've had plenty of opportunity to post and lurk and such, now I really look forward to the opportunity to meet some of you out on the mountain, and someday actually post some stoke and participate here in a non gimp manner. I have to say, though that this virtual place has really helped the healing process. Maggot Gimps RULE!
