I have. Lost both from the big toes during a weeklong hiking trip in borrowed boots (dumbdumbdumb). That was back in highschool, but I remember it hurt like a sumbeach when they were about half-grown and someone would bump or step on one of my feet. One of the "senior quotes" in my year book is "DON'T TOUCH MY TOES!!!". :)

An ex-boyfriend of mine accidentally stepped on my toes when I was wearing sandals one time, ripped about half of my big toe nail off and it was bleeding everywhere. I was kind of a drama queen about it at the time (had been drinking) but we broke up before I could get a new pedicure out of the deal.

I have perhaps told this story before, but a co-worker once ran a half marathon. He was telling me about his preparations, and mentioned putting his vaseline on, with a gesture toward his backside. I stopped him and asked what he meant. He explained that he had to put vaseline in his ***crack to prevent chafing. I explained to him that that's just a rule I have...any activity that requires me to put vaseline in my ***crack...I'm out...I'm just out. Noper all over that one.

I've also never had that problem. But that's a pretty good rule. If I ever have to start doing that, I'm going to stop running.

Not yet. I've seen people have to do that, but again, I've never had that problem. If you wear the right gear, you won't have problems.

I've only had that problem slightly in the rain but then again, I haven't done a marathon. I had it really bad one time detasseling. We had mile long rows and it was so hot and humid I took my shirt off before starting another lap which I generally never did. It started raining not long after starting the row and my nipples were bloody from the heavy corn leaves cutting me by the time I got back to my shirt. Just imagine dozens of paper cuts on your nipples.

Good times.

Is that a code word for something?

You've successfully one-upped my worst detasseling story. I really didn't think it could be done. It involved a large corn spider and my face.

Assume that is why Pants runs some even though he hates it....keeps his weight below full total toe crushing level.

You win the thread for today, Velo. Can't come up with anything to top that. And I don't care what Cooler's spider story had, you can't top bleeding nips.

There were a couple of girls who detasseled in bikinis every day. I don't know how they did it.

Another detasseling story.

I studied some Chinese history in college so I thought it interesting when a couple of Chinese guys ended up in the field with us. I started talking to them about a lot of things about China. What really struck me though was when I asked them some really tough questions about Chinese policy they hesitated and looked around them. Here they were in the middle of a corn field in rural Iowa half a world away from their government yet they still felt like they were being watched and were afraid to speak their minds or to say anything critical or controversial. That is a fear that us Americans really have a hard time understanding.
