I don’t even remember what we were fighting about, but I do remember my blatant disregard of your demand: “Not the face, NOT THE FACE!”

I was coming here to apologize until I realized how cool that’s going to look if it leaves a scar. Now I’m declaring that you owe me royalties for how awesome I’ve made you look.

Get well soon.

(In case there was confusion, I’d like anyone reading to know that this comment was made in the whimsical spirit of assuming I’m a pirate, not the whimsical spirit of assuming I’m a Portland sidewalk.)

The pirate story is way more cool than my similar scar across my left eyebrow from smacking myself in the face with my keys. I am oh so coordinated, that I am.

Hope it heals up quick. And glad to hear you didn’t ~~smash~~, err destroy your new glasses of awesome. (Though, I’ve managed to break not even day old glasses, so it can and does happen.)

Wow. if that pirate’s blade had been an inch lower, you’d be sporting an eyepatch. At least you saved Aric from being sold into slavery, right?
…right?

You have to be careful in Portland, that place is swarming with pirates. I don’t know if it’s because pirates like giant bookstores and multiple strip clubs, or if the ninja boom in Seattle made them all move south, but it’s a big problem.

That’s why people like Palahniuk end up moving across the river to Vancouver, WA.

Pirates. Get a few shots of rum in them and all of a sudden they are knifing people all willy nilly. At least when ninjas get drunk they just sit in a corner and pretend that they’re invisible.

Ouch! I hope you kicked the pirate’s butt.

Oh, my goodness.

Well, I hope that your recovery is swift. And that the pirate looks much worse.

When my daughter Fiona got a gash over her eye, the ER doctor told us that after it healed we should be sure that we applied sunscreen to the scar DAILY for a year, to minimize it and prevent discoloration.

I’ve been in several pirate knife-fights, the reasons for which vary. In any case, it’s clearly obvious that you met the business end of a pirate’s blade.

Rest and sip your favorite liquor.
