Since I didn’t have room, yes, this is a mostly true story (actually borrows from two incidents). And Ipe is a VERY hard, South American wood…

Continuing my weird fascination with typos and mis-spelling tonight (=S) – You should have been well ‘withIN’ the blast radius in para 1.

Awesome that this is true. I love it! And I love the care and attention you’ve taken in describing the detail. Really great little tale.

The tense shift confused me – as the rest of it was in the past tense. I love the idea of outlining the wooden corpse – very clever.

Well written, kept me hooked right up to the very end, Mr Hard-Head. Poor you =(. Ah well…I really don’t want to become a student no. I’m slightly afraid of this type of goings-on. lolz.

Epic tale, combinationally true or not. And I learned that ipe is a kind of wood, something I did not know before. We had a big desk in our house growing up, but it was oak, another hard wood.
Thanks for sharing the story of your name with us.
