Steve @Eqwhipped and I got together for a cigar and bourbon last night and we had a good laugh about one of our previous get-togethers.

During the winter I visited Steve and we had a beautiful big fire while smoking and drinking. Toward the end of the night, Steve decided to split a peice of wood that had more knots and grain than I have ever seen, it was actually quite amazing!

On the first mighty whack, the maul went flying to the left and hit the fence, I laughed and said "there is not a chance in hell you can split that". He took another mighty whack and a chunk the size of a softball hit me in the shin, glanced off, shattered my beer glass and spun out onto his patio. Steve was very upset that he shattered my beer glass ........ he didn't seem too concerned about shattering my leg.🤣

Was it a logo’s glass? I have a few glasses with very important and meaningful logos in them that would make me sad if they broke.
Sorry about your leg though.
 
Im surprised this became public knowledge, in my defense pretty sure he actually said "I bet there is not a chance in hell you can split that". Then I went all The Shining on a helpless un-splitable log. After it was all said and done a priceless collector pint glass from Qing dynasty was irrevocably damaged. Oh and Cigarstone was holding his leg screaming for an ambulance.

Good times.

How TF did it shatter your tibia so badly? Damn.

This is all true except for the couple things I struck through.

It was a Deschutes glass.

When we get to Denver, remind me not to stand even remotely close to you!

Under statement of the year
Maybe I should clarify, some people seem to think the X-ray I posted was legitimate. All I can say to that is ....... you should know me better by now.

In reality I barely even had a scuff on my leg which is rather interesting because the chunk of wood still had enough momentum to blast the glass into a million pieces. 😂

You got me!
I can admit that

Still cried though.
 
Update............ @Eqwhipped Steve's birthday was last Saturday and a bunch of us were standing around, moving some thing to prepare for rain, BS'ing, getting acquainted, and Steve blurts out "JEFF .... YOU'RE HERE!" I said "yep, been here for 20 minutes" Everyone laughed and Steve said "let me explain" So he tells the story about trying to split the knot log, breaking my leg, and shattering my beer glass. He then bring out three really cool nubbers that he made from the peice of knotted wood that became the missile, and gave me my pick of the three.

He is really creative and this will be my preferred nubber for life! Thanks brother!

BTW: He really didn't break my leg :cool: it was just a flesh wound!

We had a few good laughs about this thread and how some people actual thought my leg was shattered.
