Dr. Fong Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 Took the family to Busch Gardens today. Was having a great time until I made the fateful decision to do that ring the bell with the hammer game. I'm usually very good at this and win almost ever time I do it. For some reason this time it came down a little funny and my body was in a weird position. The hammer struck the plate at a weird angle and it bounced back and hit me in the head. A trip to the emergency room and 7 stiches on the top of my head later and I feel like a complete fool. So I guess next time I'm at Busch Gardens I'll give it a miss.
MadBuffaloDisease Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 Didn't this happen to someone else? Or is this deja vu?
Dr. Fong Posted August 11, 2005 Author Posted August 11, 2005 Didn't this happen to someone else? Or is this deja vu? 404486[/snapback] I don't know. The medical lady at Busch Gardens said it was the third one she's seen this season. It made me feel a little bit better.
Dan Gross Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 Here you go. Before long they'll make everyone wear a helmet to play that... Get well soon...
Buffal0 Bill5 Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 Third one this season? The Game is a hazard! Sue em! Call Cellino and...oops Barnes, just Barnes.
N.Y. Orangeman Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 Glad to hear you are ok....now, please post the video.
Dr. Fong Posted August 11, 2005 Author Posted August 11, 2005 Glad to hear you are ok....now, please post the video. 404491[/snapback] Man that would be GREAT if I had that on video. I'm not sure I'd ever want to show it to anyone, but I'm sure I'd get a kick out of it.

Call Cellino and...oops Barnes, just Barnes. 404490[/snapback] Am I the only one who wonders how Barnes can keep a straight face in his new ads? "Hi, my partner just went up the river. But hire me! Hire me!"
OGTEleven Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 I don't know. The medical lady at Busch Gardens said it was the third one she's seen this season. It made me feel a little bit better. 404487[/snapback] Are you giving free tickets to TBDers now that you own the place?
Tux of Borg Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 Am I the only one who wonders how Barnes can keep a straight face in his new ads? "Hi, my partner just went up the river. But hire me! Hire me!" 404524[/snapback] No sh--... I see their advertising budget hasn't gone down.

Live&DieBillsFootball Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 They got caught advancing money to clients. Cellino got suspended for 6 months and Barnes just got yelled at. Since Cellino was suspended they had to pull any ads with him and also drop him from the firm name and letterhead etc. Now all the billboards just show Barnes looking lonely and its called "The Barnes Firm" I think that they should have had to collect up all of our phone books and give us new ones without Cellino plastered all over them. They came close to getting disbarred which would have put them out of commision for good. But they must have come up with enough money to the right people.

What ages are your kids? If this were me I would be hearing about it for the rest of my life. Remember the time dad...
BRH Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 Dang. I must have missed something. What happened to Celino? 404579[/snapback] Ross Cellino was disciplined by the state bar for something, I forget what, but it may have been commingling client funds with personal funds... a big no-no. I didn't pay a lot of attention to the story because I don't like giving those ambulance chasers any more attention than they deserve, but I think his license was suspended for at least a year. Now the big billboards coming into the city, and the ubiquitous commercials, say "Barnes Law Firm" instead of "Cellino and Barnes."

IDBillzFan Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 Be glad you weren't in a locker room trying to hit a tree stump with an axe.
Ghost of BiB Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 I sense a new Vonage commercial in the making.
