Frequent readers of the site will tell you that I am a great lover of ceiling fan injuries, but people getting backhanded to the face is fast moving up the chain of my personal preference. This is a great example that I will discuss in detail after Ben here tells us his story...

"Me (Ben), my two bothers (Hamish/Fingal) and two cousins were all playing Wii Sport at about 1am boxing day in a smallish room. I was batting on Baseball (with no wriststap, not that that would have made much difference) and was in mid swing when my little bro (Fingal) ran in front of the TV and right into my swing. I him him in the nose sideways on and must have caught the side of his face aswell as he got a small graze there aswell as a nose bleed. Heres the pics... enjoy. -Ben"

Before I discuss the blood smeared face of the child, let's talk about the names of these brothers three. We have Hamish, Fingal, and Ben. While Ben seems like a sturdy name, I've got to wonder at the lack of drama compared to Hamish and Fingal. Imagine introducing yourself to people.

"Hi there, this is my brother Uthgard the Destroyer, and my other brother Kronugath of the Shining Fist. It's nice to meet you. ... What's my name? Oh my name is Ben."

Now since they are celebrating boxing day I'm aware that they're not from my locale. Maybe Hamish and Fingal are just the Tom and Harry names of their neighborhood. I don't know.

Some nice blood spattered pictures though. Why is the blood smeared all over his face? Did he take a slap and then decide to rub his face on the carpet to make it feel better? Odd... Usually, when I bleed from the nose it doesn't get much further than my lip. Maybe this too is some sort of local tradition.
