Are you Unbreakable

Last Sunday I was run down. SUV hit me broadside at about 35mph. I was going about 20 mph. No broken bones, one broken tooth after flying from the hood to the pavement head first...no helmet. It seems I won't break easily. Now lets all sing the hurricane song together again.

Forgot to add I was on a bicycle.

Yah. Morpheus, you probably ought to see a doctor. Ideally, because you need broader lifestyle treatment, but also because you might have internal injuries. If you _are_ immortal, think of this as a minor proving trip.

Saw one...broken tooth. I get the new Crown in three weeks. I could still die of infection...Hauss there is hope.

Morpheus

Wait...why do you think I need broader lifestyle treatment? You know almost nothing about me...yet you act like...you do. Why is that? And more to the point...have you had an unbreakable moment? Tell me more.

But, morpheus - you _were_ breakable. You broke a tooth. You were just very, very lucky. It's a different thing.

As a simple proof you could drive headlong into a brick wall at 90mph, a la the movie Unbreakable.

It would end this arguing, anyway.

Well yes,. if we're gonna throw around absolutes like "unbreakable", probably best to make sure they're absolutely absolute.

Note to self- fuck the environment, drive faster next time.

Also, where is this 'proof'? I would like a video on youtube and some scanned doctor's notes - at the very least - next time, O lord of dream.

I stubbed my toe yesterday, but today it doesn't hurt anymore.

I must be unbreakable as well.

Might be worth exploring the relationship between _unbreakability_ and alcohol. Not that I speak through experience, I'm just saying...

Not sure, but I think you might be a little cracked, psychologically...

man, i think you have a hold of the wrong end of the show and tell stick.
telling us about it isnt proving it.
showing us is proving it.
you need to repeat the feat for us to trust your assertions of fantastic proportions, and you need to do it in front of at least a camera, more prefferably a crowd of onlookers.

I think a true test of someone's "unbreakablity" would be to see if they could sit through every single M. Night Shyamalan movie in a row without maiming either themselves or some one nearby. But then again, I find his films to be the pretentious works of a self-inflated ego, so I'm biased.

OK, about 15 years ago I slammed into a stationary Volvo (in shade, sun in my eyes) doing about 30mph on a 125cc bike. Because I didn't see the bastard, I wasn't tense, so I flew over the bonnet, wondering why there were people under glass watching me fly, and catching my ankles on the handlebars as I left the saddle. I couldn't walk properly for a week or so but at no point did I think I was unbreakable. Quite the opposite.

Your point?

Watching the car drive away and spitting out my teeth had it's own special warmth and glow. I don't need any of you to make me feel worse about it. In fact, I don't remember stating that I was unbreakable,  I asked if any of you were unbreakable.

  Last year I had two buddies who wanted to test this out and film it.  They wanted to jump off the top of the Hollywood Hyatt.  They went all the way to the point of going over there and bringing the camera, but really gave up at the moment of truth.  It was wild seeing these two people egging each other on.  Self destructive people tend to make these sort of morbid fantasies real...and Hollywood is filled with those people.  The fucked up thing was I wasn't about to do anything to stop them.  I told them I'd hold the camera, but honestly didn't have a good feeling about the whole experiment.

  If I had, and they had, you all would have your little show.

Yes. That is fucked up. You need to go away and try to be a better friend to your "buddies". Cheerio!

I suggest Ignore...it works. In fact Bye bye Haus I am sick of you.
