I have a few scars. There are stories attached. I don't find them cool.

They're your scars.. They're as cool as you think they are.

The only two scars I have are kind of boring in their tales.


Meh. The baby was fine. Else I wouldn't be telling the story.

Extra kudos to the baby, then.

I would have suggested stabbing the prick back >.>.
I don't really have any long lasting scares. Most of the shit that happened to me left bruses not scars.

Meh, any scars I have which weren't self inflicted are mental.

I have a scar on my forehead and one on my finger. The former is from a bookcase, the latter from a papercut. No idea why it scarred, it's pretty small.

I think I begin to see I might have to take back my statement before.. Something disastrous happens, perhaps?

I've a scar on my hip from handaxe going into my hip and wedging in the bone, which I like to brag about. Then there is the shameful scar across my chest when a spider scared me into dropping a knife on myself.

Hmmm... does a bullet wound in the throat count? If so, my friend is going to be getting some serious props.
Is your friend dead?
Nope. He got mugged in an alley, and the dudes shoved the gun down his throat after he called for help, but the muggers were distracted when someone came to help and turned the gun a bit without noticing, and they pulled the trigger, instead of piercing the juggular which would've killed him, it went out the side, which must've hurt like a bitch, but didn't kill him. Doc said he was seriously lucky.

I have a rather large scar that runs the lower half of my right leg. Fun fact, playing football in a wet parking lot is not ever a good idea. All the others are too small for me to remember how they were obtained.

I once cut my thumb to the bone, severing the sensory nerve.

The other I got from an operation to a Inguinal hernia.

Oh wait, I do have one scar, self-inflicted accidentily while at school. Long story short, since the full story makes me sound like a moron, I stabbed my thumb with a pencil, head broke off in the thumb, too embarresed to mention it I went all day through school without a word of it, noone noticed a thing. Had my mom pull it out when I got home, was like a little volcano of blood. The black mark from the pencil is still there.

Well, it's a good thing that he's still up and kicking.

A knife is still a knife, which still cut you in a freak accident.

I sort of did something like that to myself, but replace thumb flesh with thumbnail, replace pencil with safety pin, and replace scarring with 'It healed'. Still hurt.

I got one when I was on a vacation in the Amazon.
I was caught off guard by some natives.
I was held captive for a few weeks before I managed to seduce the chieftain's daughter. She set me free. I tried to sneak out of the village, but the watchmen were too alert.
In a short fight that followed, a spearhead and a bit of the stick was stuck to my shoulder, but two warriors were laying unconscious before me, and another one impaled to the wooden wall by a spear. He was awake and screaming loudly, so I thought it might be a good time to leave.

I ran away from the camp, and hid in a lake, breathing through reeds. I waited for a day, before I dared to leave the lake.

It took me three days, feeding on raw meat and plants, to find my way to civilization.

So you're the sarcastic twat or compulsive liar of the boards I assume?
If you're the sarcastic twat then I'm going to have to challenge you for that position eventuilly.
If the second one, year ok sure.

Sarcasm is but a tool to express yourself by not doing just that. It is like sweets, but better.

There's a significant difference between "artificial beauty" and "attempted artificial beauty".

Properly applied, makeup can look very attractive.  As can hair styling, properly fitted clothing, plastic surgery, and whatever else.

Improperly applied...  Well, it isn't exactly beauty, is it?

And then there's the whole personal taste thing...

I like women with some meat on their bones.  Something to hold on to and squeeze.  I prefer long, dark hair.  But there are a lot of people out there who like blondes, or skinny women, or short hair.  What do you quantify as beauty?

If you don't like women with fake breasts, is that a strike against artificial beauty?  Or is that just your personal preference for natural breasts?

And where do you draw the line at artifice?  Plastic surgery?  Makeup?  Hair dye?  Hair styling?  Clothing?  Accessories?
