I was going to ask Sean what provoked his, but decided to make a thread out of it.

Mine:

My friend Dan the aerospace engineer always asks too many questions. He over thinks everything. He was checking out my boat and I told him it had a SBC out of a Camaro.

He got all flustered and said "What? You can't run a car engine in a boat. Has it been modified by a marine shop with different heads or a different cam or something?" To which I replied "Whatever, it's a motor, it spins."

Which I thought was a rather eloquent definition for an engine.

Oh. im a martial arts instructor, and of all the people in the dojo i actually liked doing the iron body stuff, running your hangs through hot coal and sand, punching gravel, hitting my shins with ball peen hammers. So sensei as a joke said "Guy thinks pain is fun, hit him if you dont believe me" so, i never lose a fight, either i beat the crap out of the dude, or i get some good shots :bang:

That's called masochism and can be indicative of other underlying pathologies. . .

:huh: Not really, i did it for a purpose, and i had no choice about it, its not like i sit around and cut myself when im bored. That was training i benfited from, no different than lifting weights. And i have a really high tolerancy for pain, so what hurts you feels normal to me due to the nerve damage im sure.

I'm teasing. I know where you're coming from. In sorta similar ways I like the feeling of overcoming pain and exhaustion for endurance events, like a traithlon. I was a wrestler for a little while in HS, and a catcher in baseball for years and years, both of which involve quite a bit of getting knocked around and beat up, in a sort of fun way.

Yep, i dont like all pain, but there is just something about catching a shin to the head that says "Yeah you're still alive and its not gonna be that easy"

He didn't mean suicidal, he meant sex dirty.

I don't like pain, I like Vicodin.

He doesn't care about you or your feelings.

I say the same kind of thing a different way and would have it in my sig if I didn't have the link to the project car there.

"You can evade reality. You cannot evade the consequences of evading reality."

I think the quote is attributed to Ayn Rand, but the sentiment is pretty generalized.

First line, OP.

I was just thinking there was a certain event that triggered adding the quote as his sig. And I wanted to hear the story. Sean's stories of dumb people are always pretty funny.

But it sounds like maybe it was too personal to post. Sean seems to be avoiding the question. Or maybe being a Daddy affords less time for his attention to the B.S. lounge.
