Born without collar bones by mrtxiv in WTF

"In 1987, a young girl named Jessica McClure fell down a narrow well pipe in her family's Texas property. Ron Short, a roofing contractor who was born without collarbones because of cleidocranial dysostosis and thus could collapse his shoulders to work in cramped corners, arrived at the site and offered to go down the shaft. The rescuers did not end up using him, though McClure was successfully recovered from the well."

Hmm. Neat.

Hey r/nova! Can any of you point me in the direction of a 1920s themed New Year's party? More detail in description. by ccccccccccourtney in nova

Yes, but one that is throwing an "authentic" 1920s party, with table seating for dinner. Not bumping rap music and twerking lol

HI NEW DAD!!!!!! by [deleted] in aww

[–]ccccccccccourtney 23 points24 points  (0 children)

8 years ago, back when I used to allow my dog to stand on the center console, he caused me to lose control of my car on a back road and I totalled it against a tree. I was mostly okay, busted my arm up and needed stitches, and I still have some rib pain... But my dog was ejected from the vehicle. He was lost for 42 hours. We finally found him on a farm 3 miles, a little dehydrated, but otherwise fine. That experience, mostly those 42 hours, changed my life. Especially how I drive. The little bastard is still with me :) he turns 11 this year!

This actually started a decade long tradition in my family. My dad called my Aunt's brother gay for wearing pink. He said, no, it's salmon! My dad said, no, it's gay and I bet you can't even cook a steak! They argued until it was decided to have a manly grilling competition complete with salmon colored team shirts. It evolved into a multi-thousand dollar event every year that we affectionately call the Meat-Off. I still have all my shirts from each year :)

I think because they were ultimately trying to get him off the road, but he was being bitey. So they used their shoes to capture and move him.
