The other day, I was in bed with my girlfriend and we were playing New Super Mario Bros. We were alternating between levels and I was up. I got almost to the end of the level when I jumped poorly and went down a chasm. In frustration and embarassment (because I had cockily ensured my girlfriend that I would in fact dominate the level), I slammed my fist down onto, what I thought, was the bed. I ended up hitting the bed frame, and my thumb nail turned instantly black. It hurt like hell.

Here's a picture:



This was almost a month ago too, and I just took this picture tonight. I suspect that the thumb nail's going to fall off pretty soon.

	Halon - July 12, 2006 (09:08 PM) That happened to me once after I was hammering a nail and missed. It fell off after three days I think.
	disco - July 12, 2006 (11:00 PM) >_< Dude, get that checked out. I lost one of my fingernails in a similar fashion, just with a car door. You ought to get it fixed before it gets infected.
	janus - July 13, 2006 (04:38 AM) I was worried you were going to say something bad about NSMB!
	EmP - July 13, 2006 (08:02 AM) NSMB is as mouldy and gunk-filled as your thumbnail! I should know - I reviewed it!
	janus - July 13, 2006 (08:05 AM) Don't listen to the DIRTY LIAR. NSMB rocks.
	Genj - July 13, 2006 (08:19 AM) That nail looks pretty bad. If it were me, I'd just rip it off because I'm manly like that.
	bluberry - July 13, 2006 (11:30 AM) Go to a doctor. Not because that itself looks so horrible, but because you really do not want a nailbed infection. Ask my big toe. That said, if the nail falls off, go downtown and drop in some change-begging homeless guy's cup.
	asherdeus - July 13, 2006 (07:36 PM) Generally, I really don't like going to the doctor. I think the nail is about to fall off anyway. I can see nail bed at the base of my nail now, up around the cuticle. I think it's any day. As for your suggestion blu, I think I'll just do that.
