We went disco bowling Saturday night with one of the Husband's co-workers, his wife and some of their friends. I forgot to trim my nails. They're not that long, but long enough to get caught in the thumb hole and get torn halfway across, mid-nailbed.
Somehow, when I get injured, it always hurts 
the Husband more than it hurts me. =D
Me: *study wound thoughtfully* "Oh look. It's like... bleeding. Hmm, interesting... y'think I should, maybe, do something about that?"
Husband: "AAAAAAEEEEIIIIOOOOOOOWERQWEADFGYIIERAH!
I thought his knees were going to buckle if he didn't sit down. He was twitching and writhing torturedly when I talked about how cool it was to have a Lore's Fingernail (Event; Rare) while I flipped it open slightly to douse it with hydrogen peroxide.
For the record, it doesn't hurt. Unless I slam the broken nail upwards really fast. I had a bandaid on it, but I took it off because it was too hard to get a bandaid on in a nice, neat way on the tip of a thumb.

A bit of blood, but no bruising... It hurt quite a bit for quite a while, and I eventually had to trim the nail back pretty severly once it healed a bit...
I still can't quite believe that a fingernail could DO that.
My silver border collector's tin is at my parents' house. I just haven't gotten over there to get them and scan it yet. =)
You sound surprised... =)
I played seriously for a while, but there weren't many people to play with and after a while I decided not to keep up with all the expansions and collecting. I sold all my cards at a convention in Bellevue (all black border, I didn't even play long enough to start playing with the white border). I was missing a few cards out of the original set, so I only got about (USD)$150 for them but that was enough for my admission, lunch and a toy or two =)
Circuitry in Lore's Finger was used to control and manipulate Lt. Commander Data with emotions.
Plays on table. While in play, all Soong-type androids (including Lt. Cmdr. Data) and Exocomps lose their affiliation and are non-aligned personnel.
There's no real practical use to the card. Aside from getting Data to mingle with your other aligned personnel (which you can do via treaties anyway), it's just a fun way to get Data to lose his Federation alignment and beam down with Roga Danar and a few other non-Fed high strength personnel to beat down an opponent's away team.
But you won't get much argument from me if you say, "That was cool.
I bask in the warmth of your happy geekery!
(or at least I am now, after shivering all over for five minutes!)
In any case, I seem to always have that problem when bowling, that I catch my thumbnail and then proceed to bleed like crazy. It's always my thumb too. But only a few times did it actually tear the nail, most of the time it just pulls the nail off the bed and so the entire front of the nail just leaks blood.
Just out of curiosity, does the pink of your nailbed go all the way to the tip of your finger? I've noticed that even when I clip my nails to the quick (no white showing at all) the edge of the nail is still even with the tip of the finger. From what I can tell, most people's fingernails stop short of the end of their fingers.
Yeah, same. =P I bought a black border Wesley Crusher to keep. I got the Data Laughing by mail order and kept it. I might have kept one or two others that were meaningful to me and I wanted to get them autographed at conventions.

Mine stop short of the end of my fingers, some fingers more than others. I always thought this was because I used to be a severe nail biter (motto: if it ain't bleeding, it ain't done yet).
I'm now going to have to go find a non-nail biter to find out what their nails do. I'd always assumed my nails were normal with the pink bit stopping short of the end of my fingers, but as I've always bitten my nails too (who needs nail scissors anyway?) now I'm not so sure.
Hmm, maybe it doesn't hurt me because I bit my nails so much when I was younger and I'm used to it... =}
