Went to see a doctor this morning, she decided my little toe was bent funny and so she grabbed the end and pulled... and pulled... and pulled... until it was straight again. Yeah. Sent for an xray and yeah it's fractured. Not much I can do about it except try to keep it elevated and stay off of it as much as possible for six weeks.
One good thing that has come from it - I finally had a good excuse to buy a walking stick. Went to the local chemist. Asked the sales assistant where they kept the walking sticks with the little blades that come out of the tip. Apparently these are special order only. Same with the ones that shoot sleeping darts. Frak. I can, however, twirl it Monkey-style around my back and above my head... as I proved while still INSIDE the chemist.
Hey Dave the Lifekludger - surely you have a source? :-) I need to figure out how to geek-up my stick.
Could you just clarify: Was it broken before you went to the Doc?

Forget that question, I just read two posts down. Sorry.

I've got a four prong walking stick that belonged to your grannie you could borrow. I don't think there is any hidden blade in it though......then again....she WAS your grannie! Not too good for Monkey Magic tricks though. Would have been your grandad's birthday tomorrow, Anzac Day. We always get a holiday for his birthday. He must have been really special!

You could get Xzibit to pimp your stick by installing racing stripes and a DVD player.
