"Nick@Vishnu" with "Platinum Vendor" under his name makes me smile.

You guys are very lucky to have a guy like him working with you. He's been my friend for several years. He cheats when he plays Halo, though. Nobody can be that good naturally. I know his Xbox controller has some kind of turbo/all wheel drive button, but I haven't found it yet.

In case you're wondering how he lost his leg, well, it happened during a freak accident
in a burger king playpen. You know those ball pits? Well, Nick was in there, attempting
to scare little children and when he jumped up to surprise one of them, the frightened
child bit Nick on the leg. Wincing in pain, he slowly made his way though the plastic ball pit, only to have his leg(yes the one that was bitten) get caught up in a hole in the net.

Nick began to squeal like a frightened piglet, twisting and turning every which way in hopes of freeing his bitten leg. However, the net acted like a dull saw blade; It began slowly tearing away his flesh. In the meantime I had dialed 911 and they sent an ambulance. The ambulance arrived, and the paramedics were shocked at what they saw. Scared and unable to take control of the situation, due to massive amounts of *****, plastic *****, the paramedics called for a chopper.

The plan was to unbolt the playground from its foundation and airlift the entire structure to the hospital. The playground was secured and they began to slowly lift the structure up and out of burger king. Not 100yds past burger king and about 50 feet in the air, the net tore, and Nick fell straight towards the ground. It wasn't his lucky day.

See there was a crew grinding trees directly below. He fell straight down towards the grinder, bitten leg first. Right when he fell into the grinder, his bitten leg was immediately chopped, err..ground off. One of the workers shut down the machine before he could be sucked through the grinder. The paramedics drove across the street, and with the help of a borrowed ladder, and the tree grinding workers, pulled him out and were able to stop the bleeding.

Nick spent the next 3 weeks in the hospital recovering, and here he is today, alive, healthy, and well, peglegged. The burger king play structure was not harmed. And there you have it folks, the story of Nick's lost leg.

Lambtron, that story is really funny. I always thought he was called Pegleg because he drives a FWD SRT-4 with no limited slip front diff..... Therefore only one wheel....
