I was trying out some wood carving tools, holding the piece of wood on my lap, while wearing shorts. Hit a know and drove the knife right into my thigh.

In my defense, I was still in elementary school. But still.

But now you have a badass scar! You can say that's where the dragon bit you while you were cutting its head off!

I used a kitchen mandoline without either the chariot or a protective glove.

(A mandoline is a slicing device that was basically used as a predecessor to the food processor. You slide a vegetable over a slanted board and very, very sharp blades set in the surface slice it into the exact same thickness of slice each time. The chariot is what they call the object you are supposed to stick into the vegetable and use as a handle, specifically so you keep your idiot fingertips away from the super sharp blade. I get bonus dumb points for this because I had the chariot, I just didn't feel like taking five minutes to find where I'd left it the last time.)

The scar on my hip is cool, the story of how I got it isn't really.
I was attempting to vault up to the porch (~2 feet), missed and skidded. I wasn't drunk at the time! I'd been moving the sprinkler from one part of the yard to another and just wanted to get back to my book. Instead I got to spend quality time sitting on the bathroom floor with the first aid kit, trying to tend the wound and not pass out. I definitely learned an important lesson about doing dumb shit while alone at the house.

I tripped over my cat, stood on a nail in my living room that was meant to be holding down a set of speakers, and gave myself tendonitis.
