    Srsly... srsrsrsly.

    My arms look like I've just lost a battle vs Sabertooth. Then it hurts a little when I shower and now my arms don't look as pretty anymore. Life isn't fair.

    It makes me want to cry.

    Holy crap I'm slow. I honestly thought for a few moments that kids were playing baseball with NAILS (like the kind you hammer.) Someone just take me out back and shoot me.

    I guess they were trying to emulate Rip Hamilton.

    I went through a long-nail phase about 10-12 years ago. I tried out for my middle school basketball team and they all broke lol. I never grew them out again if I wanted to keep playing.

    Remember when Rafer Alston cut Steve Nash with his finger nail.
