Toe-riffic Spike!

Let me explain this picture - it is a recreation of Mung landing on my
big toe playing beach volleyball at Mont Alto. Sure, it's a bad
recreation - there is a lot of snow on the ground, but f*ck it - I still like
the picture.

You see, back in the day, Mung was a great volleyball player. I was
merely o.k., I guess - since I was short, and jumped about as well as
George Costanza did with those sneakers. One day, when we were playing
(without shoes on - that's what beach volleyball is all about), I set up
Mung for a spike (actually, I'm not sure if I did, but it makes the story
sound better). Mung jumped high in the air, and hit the ball really
hard ... however, it was nowhere near as hard as his heal hitting my big
toe.

My toenail shattered, and bled profusely, which encouraged the sand to
stick to my nail bed. This, in turn, helped to welcome the toenail
fungus that plagued me for many years, until I went to the foot doctor and
spent thousands of dollars on Sporanox to finally put an end to the
fungal assault on my nails.
