So, most mornings I go for a run before work. It wakes me up and it helps to keep me from getting hugely fat, so I enjoy it. Today, I'm about five minutes into my run when I trip over what looks like a wire coat hanger that's been untwisted. I stumble for a few feet, regain my balance and keep right on going.

About 30 seconds later I trip over a tiny lump of asphalt and completely crash. My arms and legs saved me from going face-first into the pavement, but I think my right knee is a goner. Seriously, when I walked up the steps at work this morning, I thought it was going to explode.

The point of all this? Well, there's two, really: 1. I'm an idiot and 2. What song do you play at a funeral for a knee?

All you kneed is love.

I hyper-extended my right knee a little over a year ago. it took about 2months of physio to get it to where I felt like I could trust it to not buckle under me just from walking. I don't think it's ever going to be 100% again. The other thing I found out is that I'm majorly allergic to the tape they use to strap up joints with so my knee swelled up and itched like crazy, it was pretty hideous for a while there.

Have you had your knee seen to yet?

No, I'm mostly just whining. If it still hurts this bad at the end of the day, or if it falls off in the interim, I'll get it checked out.

Jeez, first you slice a major artery whilst shaving, and now you crash and burn while jogging? Sounds like it's time for an "Active Community" move.

Fun Fact: Boys II Men sang the hit single "On Bended Knee" in a-patella.

I injured my knee playing football two years ago, and it's never been the same. Take Advil, glucosamine, and chondroitin, but don't expect any miracles. You'll run again, misfit, but probably not in 2007.

Obviously something by Kneel Young. Either Cripple Creek Ferry from After The Goldrush or Devil's Sidewalk from Greendale.

Incidentally, Celebrex is an awesome painkiller.

You're packing it with ice, right? I was told that ice is the universal thing for most physical injuries. That's ice ice, not diamonds. Although they might make you feel better as well.

I have a question - if misfit's knee doesn't heal, do we put him out to stud, or do we send him to the Glue Factory?

Oh, and Kneel Peart from Rush. Too tired to think of a zinger today.

I'm currently laid up in bed with ice on my knee, watching National Lampoon's European Vacation. There are worse ways to spend an evening.

Aren't there?

I'm a staunch defender of European Vacation. Some will tell you that Christmas is better, but that's just wrong. We won't discuss Vegas. The original is still the king, of course.

Here we are, a little over a year later, and damned if I didn't do it again. Was out for a run on a beautiful fall morning when I stumbled and crashed hard into the pavement. This time around, my right knee, my left arm, my left hip, and my ribs took the brunt of the damage. Also, there's a tightness in my chest whenever I stand up. At least I got to walk a mile and a half home while bleeding everygoddamnwhere.

Can anyone give me one good reason why I shouldn't just hang myself and stop bothering everybody?

Because you had that awesome Giving Tree avatar?

But, really, I don't think hanging yourself is the solution. I think you need to take up a physical activity other than running. Something nice and stationary, with no chance of eating pavement. Yoga?

That was Minsky that had the world's best avatar. MissZooey doesn't know which chewer I am.

I kid. I've never tried yoga--do they have ultra-ultra beginners courses for guys who aren't terribly flexible?

I recommend Wii Fit for beginning yoga. It's easy, plus you get to watch a creepy, lifeless avatar act out the moves for you.

That, or take up competetive eating. How many hot dogs can you eat?

Crap.

(catches Misfit by the collar)

MissZooey isn't quite awake and is a little hung over this morning. My apologies.

Yoga classes are generally designed around ability levels. I would imagine that, in a big city like Atlanta, you can find a class for novices. There are certainly a few in Milwaukee (read: a lot smaller than Atlanta).

I feel your pain Misfit. I can't remember why but I slammed on the brakes a little too hard on my bike the other night and went over the handlebars. My right leg felt like shattered meat for most of yesterday but it's better today and the scrapes/road burn on my left side aren't too bad.

I have a feeling that in its own way yoga would be just as painful for somebody with as little flexibility as me though so let me know if that works out for you, I'll just stick to the bike when it gets repaired.

All right, it's agreed:

1. I won't kill myself yet.
2. Maybe I'll give yoga a shot.
3. Competitive eating is an option, bike riding is not.
