Caramellanne Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 So, the other day I was enjoying some blackberry al amir while watching cartoons on saturday (yes, I still watch cartoons) and I went to grab my ash tray to start breaking down my hookah and I had forgotten that I had place a smaller coal in there earlier, but did not realize it because there was so much ash in the tray...and, of course I burned the shit out of my left index finger...luckily im not left handed....So, in light on my injury I thought it would be interesting to hear other peoples burn stories... heres a pic of the damage, of course im a freak and I popped the blister....I personally believe that this promotes healing, just a personal opinion....

Scalliwag Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Well my worst burn story was not from a hookah. I was a welder for a long time before I moved into I.T. I was replacing staircases at an apartment complex and was under a three story staircase on a ladder with a cutting torch, my ladder was not quite tall enough so it was already awkward. The second step from the top was above and kinda behind me. So I was cutting it in a really odd position from fairly high up. This is leading to something you guys will find funny folks... I promise. So I am cutting on one of the step brackets and a piece of hot slag (molten metal) about as big around as a dime pops and goes down the back of my shirt, goes south and down the back of my pants and pulls into the driveway between my butt!!!! So I am holding a torch with one hand, the ladder with another with a meteorite making a crater in my ass!!!! Except to fall was about the only thing to make things worse so I just had to hold on until it grew tired of burning my ass. I will post a pic of the scar later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scalliwag Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 oh, and Ms. Scalli said I should use a "feminine product" for a bandage!!!! Mean ass wench!!! She was calling all her friends and family and laughing the entire time. Telling me shit like "that hot ass gotta a little hotter!!" (I kinda liked that one though cuz my sister in law said that and pissed Ms. Scalli off!) She was handing them the phone so they could give me shit about it! She never really was a very nice person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caramellanne Posted October 24, 2006 Author Share Posted October 24, 2006 HAHAHA!!! HAHAHAHA!!! Thats funny!!! I don't think that I would recommend using a pad (feminine hygiene product) as a bandaid though...Thats gross and just wrong....Naughty Ms. Scalli!!!

Seraph Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I was at a bonfire at a beach this past summer, everyone was chilling around the fire when there's a big pop a peice of burning ember flies out and gets trapped between my toes! I jump up and start cussing trying to get it off while it was still stuck in between my toes. I finally got it out an eternity (maybe 15 seconds later) and my toes were so burnt. 3 months later it's finally almost done healing. I still think Scalli's sounds more painful, and more of a freak occurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthHookah Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 actually, using femininepads is ideal for massive injuries. it IS designed to soak up blood, isnt it? when i was a security officer, our first aid kits had some kind of maxi pads in it.

MrGuy Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Wow who would of guessed what this topic would lead to lol. one of our worst experiences was at out local shisha bar with a fresh lit quicklite burning all over and we had some MJ mixed with mint in a big handheld hookah, so the only thing holding the coals on was about a 5mm tinfoil wall. anyways, there were 5 of us. D was in the corner and M was next to him with the hookah. D's phone rang, he looked at it stood up and ran outside, knocking the coal onto M's shirt, who jumped and knocked it onto his own hand then onto the chair then onto the floor. Total damage: a nice burn on his t-shirt, a big round burn on his hand and a perfectly circular burn on the seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a pure carbon rod on a special rod holder that uses compressed air. When you make an arc it melts the metal and the compressed air blows the metal away. I worked in a heavy plate shop where some steel was up to 8 inches thick. Alot of the work was DOT so it have to be x-rayed. To get the bad spots in a really deep weld a gouger is a life saver. But they can eat your ass up and spit it out in a heart beat if you mess up or if any poor bastage makes the mistake if getting near the molten spray. Getting into any type of vessel using one the odds were against you not taking burns no matter how well you tried to protect yourself. There is nothing like a 100 degree Texas day being covered top to bottom in leather and getting inside a freaking steel enclosure with a gouger. I work on servers for a defense contractor and hearing people talk about how "rough and demanding" their jobs is quite amazing from my perspective. Needless to say my hardest day in an IT job was easier than my best day in a welding shop. All the gourgers I ever used were handheld. But you can look at the picture on this website and see how fun you think it would be to use one, especially overhead.

Even guys that look fat can hit like mules. back when I welded it was mostly bikers and illegals and most of my co-workers now would not have been able to kick even the weakest ones arse. A couple of the guys I work with dropped by a shop I used to work at because we were in the area and met a few of my old buddies and agreed their was nobody they met there they would want to throw down with. The guys (welders) were giving me shit because I was wearing business casual. So basically my old co-workers and my new co-workers all seen me in a different light after that day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
