    Eh, sure the kid is tough, but that doesn't mean I can't complain.

    I'm just giving those three on AET more juice for the best new thread created: Scott or not.

    Are you guys missing fingers? I lost the top of my left middle finger in 1975. Makes flipping people off just a tiny bit less effective. haha... naaaaaw! :smiley:

    Jesus. This boy, at his tender age, has a better outlook than I think *edit - KNOW- I'd have in his position.

    Rock on, kiddo!

    I've stopped flipping people off with my left hand. We all end up laughing! There's pictures of my hand in the "of F@#K" thread, I think...

    He seems like a really cool little kid, full of personality. Congrats to him, and the medical team.
