My Ankle
Posted on March 21st, 2008 by AngryMan
Last night was Mormon ball. I went in with an ankle that looked more or less like this (just picture skin and muscles and all that over the image)
During the game, I managed to land on my left foot like so
Needless to say, my ankle now looks like this
That’s not my real foot, FYI. Also, that’s a right foot. I should do a better job selecting images. But that doesn’t matter. What matters is that while I was in the process of ripping my ankle to shreds injuring my ankle, I was coming down from spinning jump shot. And you know what? I MADE THE FRACKING SHOT!
Larry Bird got nothing on this white boy!
Ow, I did that once (not playing hoops, this white boy can’t jump). Hurt like Hell for a while. I sued myself.
CC:
I hope that you were able to recover on that judgment.
Congratulations.
With that cankle, you now look like Hillary Clinton.
So, a sprain?
I was playing hockey about 15 years ago and got a double check, and my ankle twisted around the other way, that was not fun. Got the scar and the plate to prove it.
I do not like mormons already.
I will discriminate.
That is only an ounce of pain you Hu-Mans will feel when I take over.
LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTION!
Moooog:
Maybe that was my plan all along!
Malach:
That’s you get for playing a Canadian sport. Damn French Canadian.
AngryGinger:
Where did you get such a hateful streak? Couldn’t be your father.
No he’s a sucker who will do anything to help someone. I take after my LANDLORD who runs away from little girls fundraising for charity.
Cash:
If you’re going to sprain ankles, I submit to the Revolution.
AngryGinger:
Don’t take after her, she’s evil. She won’t wake up to help someone who can’t walk.
I was sleepy don’t plan her.
plan=blame
Again, it’s freakin’ dark in here.
Thank gods that isn’t your foot in that pic. I can’t stand dark leg hair just like I can’t stand dark pubes. Shave it! I don’t know why, but it turns me off.
oh man. I feel for you. Really I do.
Except for the basketball part. If you’re going to get injured, at least do it playing a real sport, like hockey. Or at a hockey party, like I did.
Ow Ow Ow! Sucks! Sucks! Sucks!
Mormons and basketball = EVIL combination! At least you made the shot.
And you are a hairy bastard, aren’t you?
AngryGinger:
Yeah, I tend to blame her for most everything that’s wrong.
C.Rag:
Thanks for sharing your bigoted tendencies.
Grace:
FYI, basketball is the only true sport. Hockey is a lame Canadian thing.
Phoebe:
No, I’m not hairy. Believe me. Not my foot, it was just the most swollen pic I could find through Google w/o getting into completely busted up feet that would make people puke.
Ouch, ouch, ouch! I did one of those ‘tsuuuuuuuu’ noises when I saw the picture - sharp intake of breath through pursed lips.
I trust you put loads of ice on it, and are keeping it raised. Perfect excuse to have Wifey waiting on you I guess?
Take care - hope you feel better soon

PS Oh and congratulations on the shot!
I did something very similar a couple of years ago when I was living in Columbus Ohio. I wasn’t playing Mormon ball though. One of two things happened, and I am not sure which one is the true version as I have changed it many times. Either I fell down while walking home drunk from the bar or I fell down after I smacked a guy in the mouth and then kicked him in the ribs while he was getting up. (That move is best used by much younger men who have not just drank half a bottle of Gin). Putting all of your weight on one foot when you are old is a very bad idea. Oh, and if the latter story istrue, he hit me first.
It was almost two months before I could walk without a limp and even at that, my ankle hurt for almost a year.
“lame Canadian thing?”
ever tried fighting a hockey player? wanna try?
This is why we shouldn’t associate with Mormons.
Ouch! I’ve done that so many times to my ankle, I’m surprised the arthritis didn’t start there. Don’t be jumping around on that thing before it’s healed up completely.
HTGT:
I’ve been walking around on it too much. I’m finally going to be able to take it easy today and tomorrow. Thank Odin!
