Paws Up!Our Salute to the Awesome!
From Solid Cat: 40 - Leggings Are Not Pants Billy McNeely The Canadian man was just scratching what he thought was an old itch this week, when it turned out to be a knife blade that had been buried in his back for almost three years. According to McNeely, it all goes back to a fight over an arm-wrestling contact where he was stabbed 5 times. A doctor stitched him up, but didn't take X-rays, and thus didn't see the almost 3 inch blade. Read about it at BBC News here. To Billy McNeely, for being the Butchest Man Alive, we salute you.
