Empathy

[Q. G. Pennyworth]

Once upon a time Queen Gogira went for a walk and tripped on the broken sidewalk. She fell straight forward and ripped the skin right off the bottom of her chin, so deep they said that if it had been a clean cut there would have been stitches involved. But there were no stitches, because there was nothing to stitch up, it was just gone.

And SWEET MERCIFUL FUCK did it hurt, and QG did wail and sob as her wound was tended to. And she had to go to school with a giant bandage covering her chin, and for many months there was a scab as the layers of flesh grew back over the spot. And yea, she did pick at it like a moron, making the whole process take longer. In the end, there was a scar, one that she carried with her all her days.

And Nigel said unto QG "That sucks! I'm sorry that happened!"
And Doktor Howl said "This, too, will be okay someday!"
And Twid said "Let me know if there's anything I can do to help!"
And LMNO said "I know there's a dick joke in here somewhere..."

But, lo, from the north! The voice of RWHN came down from the woods and boomed "WHAT IS THIS? YOU HAVE BEEN INJURED! HAD THAT SIDEWALK NOT BEEN IN SUCH TERRIBLE DISREPAIR, NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE COME TO PASS! SOMETHING MUST BE DONE!"

And QG said "It's fine, really guys. I mean, it kinda hurt and all, but I'm going to be okay."

But RWHN persisted "WE MUST REPAIR THIS BROKEN SIDEWALK, BEFORE THE CHILDREN WALK THERE AND ARE INJURED! THE TOWN IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS TRAGIC TURN OF EVENTS! COME ON, GUYS, WE CAN'T LET THEM GET AWAY WITH THIS! TO THE COMMITTEE!"

Thus RWHN went to the committee to lodge a formal complaint against the town for the cracked sidewalk, while QG went and got rambledrunk with everyone else.

Actually I ought to be doing that in the PNW right about now.

Yes, but good bourbon is kind of immoral.  Jackass shows up with the pricey stuff, and we swill it like it was Old Crow, anyway.

If you ever have a chance to host an AltyParty, do so.  It will make you forget all about your chin.  Forever.

And THAT is empathy.  With a nasty grin and a ukelele.

The amusing thing is he'll likely miss this thread as the other is on the path to 100+.

And excellent as always from Queen G.
