      After a previous failed idea, I went through every thread I could trying to find a proper place for this. If there already is one I will be ready to burn my computer. In finding my way around here, I noticed something missing. Some of the things one might get asked about which reveals a lot about a person are not always immediately evident in fit photos. First and foremost for me would be scars, injuries, and the stories that come with them. Now some here have some notorious battle wounds from life, but many not so much. In trying to better get to know everyone, I thought it would be apropos to have a place for such that might help with knowledge of each other, as well as encourage contact among those that might glance over one normally.

      The idea is this, if you have a scar, post a pic. Others can try to guess the injury and how you got it. If no scar, post a description of the injury (ie broken leg, torn muscle, etc) and the group can try to guess how you got it. Don't leave everyone hanging though, the point is to share and learn from each others war wounds. As much as I like ink and clothing choice, nothing says character more than some gnarly scar tissue. So what does everyone think, can we get on with the war stories and/or hilarious guesses?

      To kick things off, the reason I can't button the top button on any shirt.

          😉 Exactly the type of responses I was looking for, but no.

                  A serious guess should be easy to come by, both in injury type and how it happened, if you read my posts.

                        I have oft jokingly referenced it as a shaving scar and/or knife fight wound, but tis neither. I don't want to meet the cat that can apply a rear naked that does this type of damage.

                          Hint 2: It's actually two scars, a scar within a scar.

                            I have a couple more hints I  can drop before I spill the beans. Unless otherwise requested, I will try to make revelation in a timely manner, likely 24 hours. I really am interested to see how others take to the thread and share, the guesses alone have made me chuckle.

                              Was it a wound that was cauterized? The scar within a scar thing…

                              Think it, be it.

                                No, each scar was applied over a year apart.

                                            Hint 4: It took VERY skilled hands and a scalpel to apply the scars.
