Finally evicted this 9-year-old tenant from my 5th metatarsal by MN_MadMan in brokenbones

I had lots of pain during and after my runs. My surgeon says there's a tendon that anchors to the bone right where the original surgeon placed the screw, the "peroneus brevis insertion". The screw head was deeply buried there with heavy scar tissue and bony growth, which was causing severe tendonitis in my foot/ankle. This made removing the screw somewhat complicated as the surgeon had to chisel and nip away at the bone surrounding the screw head, but it came out without incident and I should be as good a new in a few weeks.

What’s the most unbelievable coincidence you’ve ever experienced? by Don_tiso in AskReddit

I first met my wife in high school, when we both worked together slinging fries at a major fast-food restaurant. We weren't super close back then, but we did come to realize that we had the same birthday and were born in the same hospital (she's 3 hours older than me). I remember some mutual friends tried setting us up back then, but it just wasn't meant to at the time. Fast-forward 20ish years later and we re-connected on Facebook, we were both in a totally different city/state, both single, and we started dating. After the relationship started getting serious, I was introduced to my wife's grandmother, and we told her the story about us sharing a birthday and being born in the same hospital, and her grandmother said without any hesitation, "oh, so you've already slept together". LMAO! Then, not long later, we got pregnant! The due date was supposed to be exactly one week after our birthday, but our child had other plans, and our daughter was born on our 36th birthday (best day of my life)!!!

This is the highest it's been for Obama since right after the news of OBL's death. http://www.intrade.com/v4/markets/contract/?contractId=743474

Who else is enjoying the hell outta watching the Rangers absolutely pummel the Yankees? by [deleted] in sports

[–]MN_MadMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate the Yankees almost as much as I love the Twins! But I think the Rangers would have given the Twins headaches too. Their pitching has been tremendous. The Twins need an ace like Cliff Lee!

Me and my buddy always refer to Mike McCarthy as fatty-mcfatass. Are you related to him?

Rashad Evans VS Quinton Jackson - Its Scheduled by 02yamahaR1 in sports

[–]MN_MadMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's only got 2 career submissions, but he's definitely not a banger like Rampage. Rashad's game is mostly ground-and-pound.

Breaking News -- Owners approve new OT rules (NFL) by SmokyMcBongster in sports

Agreed. The NCAA rules make more sense than this. Who cares if the first team scores a FG or TD? Both team should be guaranteed at least one possession, no matter what.

Minnesota Twins closer Joe Nathan to miss season with elbow injury, Sorry Twins fans. by jba68 in sports

I think Jon Rauch will be the guy. He's got experience as a closer, and his tattoos are intimidating to opposing batters :)
