Hey, i've been searching and searching and i can't find this one thread with a story of this one guy who used to play in his back yard as a kid and would only wear shop glasses, then decided to go without one day and got hit right in the eye. It's a good cautionary tale and i can't remember for the life of me where i saw it on here, but searching has yielded no results so i was wondering if anyone had a link to it.

Now i feel sort of stupid, i must have not been searching for the correct terms at all...
Did it get unstickied? I've been trying to find it so that i have a story to inspire people at breakaway to keep their goggles on, and so i remember all the details about the story.Il n'y a point de sots si incommodes que ceux qui ont de l'esprit.Comment

Heh, if i had the time or if i was always doing the orientation that could be a possibility, but the last time i brought this story up i had no problems with anyone lifting goggles, i think there was just one guy that forgot to put on his barrel sock, and that was like after the first game.Originally posted by Sumthinwicked
Actually i ended up telling this to a bunch of walk on's and the Nordic Marauders (a big group that's been coming to the field for the past 20 years or so, for the most part a good group of guys) and one of the guys that has been with them since the beginning just replied "
that, it's not worth it." I have to say, that is the most convincing story by far for why you should wear your goggles.

grape is closer to an eye than a hard egg but same idea

I like to tell them that your eye doesnt have that crusty shell....and its pretty spectacular when it explodes. Plus its real easy to draw an iris on an egg.
I will give the grape a try tho, if I can hit it from 15' away anyway

Yeah, it's a really sad story, but it's definitely worth a read. I actually put a copy up at my field today.Originally posted by TaCticulMerderer18Il n'y a point de sots si incommodes que ceux qui ont de l'esprit.Comment
