[info]calendula_witch's brother, with the bee stinger carefully pulled from his hand. He was stung while playing darts, dropped the dart, tried reflexively to catch it, and stabbed himself in the hand several times during the resulting mayhem.

She sure knows how to show me a good time.

I'm having flashbacks to (clumsy) family summertime fun that ended with trips to the emergency room. Good times!

That's a massive ouch.

I once walked into a wasps' nest at ground level (it was on a bush). The wasps flew up my trouser leg (the left leg) almost to the crutch. That was a less-than-wonderful experience.
