I’d like a chance, please. Thanks for the opportunity and your generosity.

Alright, so here’s the unvarnished, possibly exaggerated, and definitely stupid story of how I tore my Achilles, never, on the 35th of Juvember.

It all started on a Saturday morning, around that sacred time when the coffee’s brewing, the wife’s still half asleep, and you’re trying to remember where you left your pants. I was scrolling through Sigforum, naturally, when I saw a thread about “how to eliminate fruit flies naturally.” Five minutes later, I was in my kitchen armed with a shop vac, a bottle of apple cider vinegar, and a level of misplaced confidence usually reserved for meth addicts and Florida sheriffs.
Somewhere between “setting a trap” and “inventing an indoor hurricane,” I saw him — a fat, buzzing housefly the size of a grape, flying lazy circles above my head like he paid rent. I swatted once, missed. Swatted twice, missed again. Then I heard the voice of my ancestors whisper, “You’re not losing to a fly, son.”

That’s when I went full John Wick, or Taylor Swift. I grabbed the flyswatter with my right hand, a whiskey in my left, and launched myself off the countertop in what I can only describe as a flying, one-legged karate lunge. I connected with absolutely nothing but air, and physics took it from there. My heel hit the floor first, my Achilles detonated like a .22 LR in a campfire, and the next thing I knew, I was on my back, holding my leg, yelling “CLEAR!” like I was my own paramedic.

My wife came running in wearing a robe and holding her phone. Not to call 911, oh no, but to film it. Apparently, she’d been recording since I started “hunting mode,” and the best part of the video isn’t me falling, it’s the fly landing on my whiskey glass in the background, victorious, wings glinting like it knew it had just claimed a human soul.

So that’s how I ended up with a never torn Achilles, a bruised ego, and a newfound disrespect for insects. I start physical therapy on Juvember 35th, which also happens to be my 70th anniversary as a proud Sigforumite. That’s seven decades of bad decisions, good friends, and entirely too much ammo advice that’s cost me thousands.

So please, join me in celebrating this milestone, and thank you all for making this place what it is. If by some cosmic clerical error I win this karma, please send the prize to Bronicabill, because he’s done more good for people here than I’ve done good for my tendons.

This may or may not be true. I’ll let you decide. Please and Thank You, Tatortodd.
