Talk to the Goat
Your clumsy is recouped by the grace of your words. Amazing.
Is that true? Could it be possible that someone in this world is as accident prone as I am, or was it a one off?
pld makes an excellent point. while it sounds like it was extremely humiliating, you certainly made up for it here. and i quite enjoyed the comparison to the snowman.
Ow! At least you have a good sense of humour about the whole thing!
Your mastering of descriptive words far outweighs the lack of mastering your limbs. (Of course I'm not the one with the bruises)
I love your writing Jay.

Oh honey - OW!!
Blogging about jogging, and Monday you were blogging about logging. For Wednesday, could you be blogging about logging? There's a lot to be said about logging. Like how the trees in the poem by Frost's "The Road Not Taken" has been logged or something.
Or maybe fogging. There's a topic you don't see everyday, yet human's mirrors fog up everytime they shower.
How about snogging? Don't have to be British to like that one.
And my favorite - dogging. How did that term get such a negative connotation. Now really . . .

Correction to my last comment - Monday, you were blogging about blogging. Call me fumbly paws - lost a "b" there for a second. Which could be yet another post topic: "losing b's, could this the answer to our late summer blogging doldrums?" There's a new idea, albeit a very boring one . . . Hey, I'm commenting about blogging, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Cal again
Ouch! I hate when that happens.
You put such a self effacing spin to it all though.. like always you're quite the wordsmith!
My poor, injured, and bruised up Jay,
How sorrowful it is to hear that such a wonderous day was befouled by such a horrid turn of events. You, of all people didn't deserve to undergo such brutal humiliation in the eyes of the common public. Oh, despair be upon those who found humor in the great misfortune that wrought it's dispicable wrath upon you...
Well, I probably would have laughed too...
Next time, get some video footage...
I hope the snowman was the only resulting injury. Go buy yourself something, you deserve it. It's great to be back and reading your posts. Take care...really.

Oh, Jay. Only you could write such a wonderfully, beautifully descriptive account of falling in the park.
I've been doing the same thing all summer... walking, exploring, losing myself... damn, this season's not long enough
You and your snowman obviously need more vodka, lol
Great story... and I'm glad you didn't hurt yourself too seriously
DB
OW! Are you OK now? (I do stuff like that too)
You know, if you had ninja skills you wouldn't get into messes like that.
I'll have to reprogram you at the next available opportunity.

PS: Why is DAVE not on the Sexy poll?
JQP has been campaigning like mad to get on the list. Dave is small potatoes in comparison.
It reads like poetry.
I had a similar experience that still reddens my face remembering it.
I was drinking a soda while sitting on a swing. I tipped to one side, but lacked the hand I needed to clutch the chain; I had to protect my soda.
Somehow my ass shot over my head. My legs were wrapped around the chains. My soda was MIA. And my head had dented the sand.
Naturally, the park was full of onlookers.
if i stumble, or worse yet, fall, my first concern will be if someone witnessed it. if anyone did, i always pray for the ground below me to open up and swallow me whole.
Isn't it weird! When ever we take a tumble the first thing (after we catch our breath) we do is look around to see if anyone else saw our disgrace. I have a pair of purple Sketchers too!
a stumble a fall. none of it matters if you make it quite the literary stroke of genius.
Jay I would never be able to so eloquently describe the time my feet slipped right out from under me on wet grass and I found my self laying flat on my back ~ with about a gazillion onlookers sitting in their cars a few feet from me waiting at the red light in this, the busiest intersection in the city of course. Naturally, the light had just changed for ME to walk across the crosswalk which I did ~ while everyone stared at the entire wet backside of me, full of freshly mown grass waddling in time to my hips.... stuck ON my hips. My head was held high, as my ego sunk to a new low.
I'm just glad you didn't hurt anything permanently Jay!
Jay, I recommended that bugsbutt check out your site. He is also a great writer with a wicked sense of humor ~ if you can wade through the swears ~ which I don't think you'd have a problem doing. I think you should check out his site sometime, his link is above.
Even falling, Jay is beautiful.
I could picture the whole thing! Lovely post. But I'm sorry you fell.
That was so wonderfully descriptive that it barely registered that I was reading about a potentially humiliating episode. Such prose! I was so enraptured with the words that I couldn't bring myself to see any humor in your fall.
Wonderfully told! I'm glad your injuries are minimal.
Snowman in August. This sounds so much like an episode of South Park.
Well somehow, I am a faller. Usually though, I am wearing a short skirt and no panties, so I must say this time was an improvement.
freckles? thats fun to say...
lets make it the word of the day...
I bet your cute, with all your little freckles...
my God, did I just type that? no more pain pills for me!
Walking in the heat is okay. If you were one of those people that jogs when it's forty degrees C, we just couldn't be friends anymore.
*laughing* Well, I'd probably make the effort to wear underwear, if I was you.
If you saw me jog, you wouldn't be my friend, regardless of the temperature.
YOU FALL WEARING A SHORT SKIRT AND NO PANTIES TOO?
What a coincidence!
ouch...
i wish i were there so i could offer you a hand, or a laugh, whichever comes first.
by the way, i love your post on blogging.
Ow Jay, i hate it when that happens.
Good to know you werent too damaged to blog.
Of course when i say 'i hate it when that happens' I would like to point out that ive never done it in a skirt with no panties.....Not that ive done it in a skirt with or without panties....look i guess what im trying to say is im glad your ok
As always, a very amusing entry, Jay. I enjoy reading your blog so much!
In other, unrelated news -- do you model? On the lovely 82 OC transpo bus this morning, I sat across from an ad for "The Source, by Circuit City". The woman in the ad looked exactly like you do in the photos that you've posted on this blog.
If not, know that your doppelganger has ads up all over Ottawa. You know, so that the city doesn't miss you too much.
Let us coin the term 'graceful fecklessness'... but then, methinks, if one is feckless, is the opposite 'feckful'? What would feckful be?...
Let us not waste time and discuss. Just mind how you go next time.
I dont wear panties either
I have something to admit to you, Jay. I voted for "Bill Nye the Science Guy" in your poll, but I don't actually think he is a sexy man at all.
Trevor - I totally wondered who was voting for him!
Accident prones unite!
i regret to inform you that if i had been one of those witnesses i would have laughed until i peed myself. so so so sorry. but seeing someone fall down is...well, it's a downright treasure to me, heartless bitch that i am.

Such lovely imagery, flowing and bopping happily along your morning discoveries and observations. So sorry you hurt yourself. Reading your words is always a treat. This piece exuded the carefree air that began your day.
That's why I refuse to walk anywhere. I just make people carry me from place to place.
I'm cracking up! Very well written and entertaining. You triumph in the end since it makes such entertaining fodder for your blog!
My calves have been mar free for a few years now. When I was still on the Track team I had constant bruises and spike marks from triple jumping and kicking myself in the calf with my spikes, not fun.
