I've been blistered by the sun on my entire upper back, shoulders, neck, and ears. I can sure as shit tell you that sleeping is immensely difficult and painful. Also, any motions you make pop open the blisters and your entire blistered area becomes unbelievably more sensitive. It took well over two weeks for me to heal up. I did concrete work shirtless in the summer for a full day, probably not my best idea.

Few questions, thanks for the AMA!!

1. Do you know a bear that we all know?

2. Did you use to work in Chicago in an old department store?

3. What is your favorite rugby song?

4. Are the ladies All Blacks as freakishly good as the true All Blacks?

5. Ever heard of Maggotfest?

The Maggots are arguably the best team in Montana, one of the better teams in the north-west States. They host a weekend long tournament every year in May called Maggotfest. LOTS of free beer (see the testimonial from a guy. You'll see the link on their page.) Might I add this is a costume tournament, so there's that you can think about. The Maggots all have carebear costumes, which are all alcohol themed. I have yet to go myself. But it's probably the greatest time ever.

Also, we have a gal up here who is MEAN with a ball. Like... She will tear any guy here into pieces. Real good player. As far as I'm concerned, the gals can come play with the guys anytime, they can hold their own!

A loose head and tight head fat boy chiming in here for a second, in the north-west at least, parents have this possible fear that their delicate little child will get hurt because they're not wearing pads. They don't understand that nobody has more than a mouthguard and a scrum cap at most, and for their kid to get smoked the way American football players do, that means that the tackler is also probably gonna get hurt as well. Nobody wants that to happen, either. The parents of younger kids aren't educated enough to understand the game, but to be fair, most ruggers don't even understand, we're just crazier than the average bear. ;)

I was meaning the north-west States, but maybe it's just any place in the north-west that's crazy..?

Funny story that I just remembered, Charmin, one of our second rowers, got cleated in the inner thigh pretty good in beginning of a game and tore his shorts a bit. Come to a lineout a few minutes later, we go to lift him(we did shorts lifting, I was the only one who has thrown a jumper up in a lineout on my team at this point), and we literally tore his shorts in half. Like... We made his shorts into a short skirt. He had to play the rest of the game that way. Hahaha. Good time that was...
