Professor October 12, 2010 at 3:05 am Reply Hi Folks…Giving Gord the opportunity to drill through my fingernails was truly an unforgettable experience. A small crowd of friends and family kept encouraging Gord to drill faster and deeper. They chanted and cheered as the blood spurted. I found this to be quite disconcerting. The pain of the drill bit piercing into the nail bed was just what you might expect–exquisite. Howerver, the proceedure relieved the pressure in my two fingers, which felt like they were about to explode. The two shots of Canadian whiskey that Susanne supplied me began the healing process which continues today, one month after the mishap. I'm grateful for Gord's drilling skills. However, I can't recommend this proceedure unless you have a serious problem (like mine) or strong masochistic desires. Gord stands ready if you do.
Gord October 12, 2010 at 3:39 am Reply Fear not, I have special ordered some ultra fine cobalt tipped bits for the 2011 door slamming season. I will stand ready for thee……..
Neil October 12, 2010 at 5:06 pm Reply Damn it this new browser is crapping my post.OK let's try again! 3rd time is a charm. Gord, you should have a 2011 Door Slam Madness week. You could give a gold plated drill bit to the person who gets the most blood under their finger nails via a good door slam on the hand! Truly a manly sport with no slot sizes or limits. I see it is starting to dip into the 20s there at VBL in the evenings now. Stay warm this Winter and have a good one.
Gord October 13, 2010 at 1:20 am Reply I agree Neil, that would be a manly sport! We could even up the anti by using bamboo shoots to gently slip under the offending fingernail….. On second thought, let's just stick with the fishing….
Perchmaster October 13, 2010 at 11:49 pm Reply I feel the pain… So this is what happens to one who has many degrees and becomes a professor?Just kidding we are all human,but man that looks painful.I think Gord enjoyed this procedure..Maybe we call him DR. Bastable now?
Andy October 14, 2010 at 12:40 am Reply I smell a rat. Most VBL regulars know that the professor is a one handed wizard. These photoshopped pictures seem to indicate that the professor has two hands. I'm not buying it.
Anonymous October 14, 2010 at 2:08 am Reply I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that another bottle of brandy fell off the truck either before the procedure or the "door incident"?
