I've got a quarter-sized deep red mark right below my knee cap from when I wrecked my bike and another one on my hip that you can't see unless I'm nekkid.
Also got a 1.5" dia. burn mark on my right calf from a dumb stunt I did when I was a teenager.

One on each elbow, one from trying to "surf" down a water slide at age 10 (there is a reason you are supposed to stay on those mats....), one from a wreck while training for the MS 150 last spring, which I think several of you know about. And one on my forehead hidden by my hair where I "cracked my head open" (8 stitches at about age 2...I fell off the swingset, apparently I can't fly...)

I love scars but I don't have any cool ones.
Even from meeting people at the bike racks.

I just have a mess of a scar on my left foot. It's on the top, and it's still gross-looking and purple. I got it when I wrecked my bike when I was 11, and my foot got tangled in the spokes... I got the actual scar fromt the kickstand.

Two fun scars--
1) Above left eye in the eyebrow line- mistakenly turned and stepped into a steel beam right at eye level. Fun part was I was in an attic and dazed, by myself and had to get down the ladder to go ask Pebbles if it was deep enough for stitches. Went to back door and called in telling her not to worry but I got cut and needed her help.
2) Across top of bridge of nose
"Warning -- no matter how important-- do not slide to block a
slap shot" it can hurt quite a bit and does a bit of damage to boot.
Playing dek hockey and gave one up for the team, just this past spring.
Got 15 stitches- some internal some external and a nice scar.
The only thing that sucked was I missed the 3rd period (no one
to sew me up on the bench) and that I did it right in front of Pebbles
and the kiddos (what a wonderful sound the stick and ball made as
it hit me in the nose/ eye)

I have a scar that closely resembles a knife slash on my right arm and it continues up into my chest...strange yes?
Let me explain...
In high school, we always gathered at the local golf course to cause trouble. Well on one particular night a crazy game of tag broke out. So I'm 'it' and I'm chasing around people and set my phasers on my friend Bret, so he takes off and I follow him. I'm running FULL speed when all of a sudden I smack into this fence post!!! (It was spring and they had just removed the winter fences but forgot to take down a post.)
So there I am, laying on the ground, trying to yell out "Guys! I'm hurt!!!"...Well, of course they thought I was trying to 'trick' them so no one came out to help me...sniff sniff... Finally they realized I was indeed on the ground and bleeding up a storm so they brought me home so my mommy could take care of me...I probably should have got stitches but I didn't.
Now I've got this cool scar that I tell everyone I got in a knife fight...

snicker all you want muffin heads...That golf course kept me off the streets...
Besides, it offered many other features than just a good tag playground:
1) boozin
2) hot lady in apartments on golf course always got nekkid at the same time  (I do believe at one time, we had 18 guys outside her window)
3. perfect place to hide out after snowballing/appling cars
4. also, fun times throwing water balloons at the 'greenies' and having them chase us...
