Multiple choice
July 30, 2007
How did I sustain this eye injury in Chicago:
a) I was hit in the eye when SJ threw a big pink dildo at my head. (It was in a schwag bag that we got at one of the panels lest you think she brought it from home)
b) I was attacked by the Pay Per Post people who stabbed me in the eye with one of their huge pens
c) I hit myself in the eye with my name badge when I tried to take it off
d) Brawl with the hotel when I found out my bar tab

The answer is ARRRR, there be pirates at BlogHer this year!
(My deepest apologies for the pirate reference.)
July 30th, 2007 at 10:10 amB! It musta been B! Those assholes.
July 30th, 2007 at 10:12 amI have to say, A sounds like the best story. I mean, not only were there dildos, there was dildo throwing.
Patiently waiting for the rest of the story…
July 30th, 2007 at 10:16 amThough the dildo throwing is tempting (because I heard there was a lot of dildos there) I’m going with the name tag. Those things are deadly sonsofbitches.
July 30th, 2007 at 10:19 amDefinitely the dildo. You can’t be too careful with those things.
July 30th, 2007 at 10:23 amI say: e) You did this so you would have something interesting to blog about. J/K
July 30th, 2007 at 10:24 amI have to say the pirate look is very becoming!
July 30th, 2007 at 10:27 amTough one! I’m wavering between A & C, leaning slightly more towards C - A sounds too funny to be true. Looking forward to hearing the rest of the story. Hope your eye feels better soon!
July 30th, 2007 at 10:28 amI think C sounds most likely but A would be quite a story! That damn SJ.. I’m told she’s crazy
July 30th, 2007 at 10:30 amI vote for C. That’s what I would have done.
July 30th, 2007 at 10:32 amI’m not eligible, dammit. But, I hope you arrrrrrgh feeling better.
July 30th, 2007 at 10:34 amHey…just worked my way through all the archives the past week. Welcome to Chicago! (I’m just over here in NW Indiana.) I pick C because I’ve done it before…just not so bad that it requires an eye patch.
July 30th, 2007 at 10:40 amOh, no! None of those options sound very good!
July 30th, 2007 at 10:42 amNone of the above. Since (according to Mir) you couldn’t use the bathroom, you were full of s*%@ up to your eyeballs, it became infected, thus the patch.
July 30th, 2007 at 10:43 amC is most likely, but A is funniest. I’ll check back to find out the whole story.
July 30th, 2007 at 10:50 amAs much as I’d love to say A…I pick C.
and ouch.
July 30th, 2007 at 11:01 amI dunno… sounds like a sure D to me….
July 30th, 2007 at 11:05 amThe suspense is killing me!!!!!
July 30th, 2007 at 11:05 amI so want to hear the bar tab story.
July 30th, 2007 at 11:06 amI would say the name badge but the dildo story sounds much more interesting.
July 30th, 2007 at 11:09 amI’m HOPING it’s the dildo so when you are really old you can crab
“Aww hell, my eye is bothering me again”
“what’s wrong with your eye?”
“It’s an old dildo injury”
July 30th, 2007 at 11:09 amIt was A. Because SJ was out of control with that dildo.
(p.s. are you ok?)
July 30th, 2007 at 11:11 amI’m hoping it’s A. Say it ain’t C.
(sounds like you had a great time!)
July 30th, 2007 at 11:16 amSadly…I’m bettin’ on the name badge. Oh how I wish it was the dildo, however!
July 30th, 2007 at 11:28 amI don’t know which one would be more interesting to hear about, but I’m waiting patiently!
July 30th, 2007 at 11:30 amAs boring as it sounds, I am going to have to guess C. The others, while making a really good story, just can’t possibly be true because of the dignified, refined nature of all of the ladies that attended the BlogHer conference.
July 30th, 2007 at 11:31 amI was thinking of you last night - I hope navigating O’Hare with one eye wasn’t completely horrible. Get better, eye!
July 30th, 2007 at 11:39 amWell, now it just won’t be very interesting unless it’s A.
July 30th, 2007 at 11:46 amI know for a fact it was D, and that you’re going to blame 95% of said bill on Susan.
*ducks and runs*
July 30th, 2007 at 11:55 amDefinately D
July 30th, 2007 at 12:00 pmI think it was the name tag….that is something that would happen to me! Also I think a Giant Pink dildo would have probably required a CAT scan.
July 30th, 2007 at 12:08 pmSo, big fun at Blogher, eh? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what they say…”it’s always fun until someone loses and eye”. Sorry about the injury, but perhaps eyepatches will be big in fashion this year, dahling.
July 30th, 2007 at 12:14 pmAN eye, AN eye, for crying out loud!!
July 30th, 2007 at 12:14 pmI vote A. Because, well, it is the only likely possibility.
I mean, the vision of you three tossing a pink dildo around the room during your braiding, jammie slumber party…..makes me glad I went to the beach instead. ;*)
July 30th, 2007 at 12:18 pmMy husband is currently at the eye doctor getting a patch because while he was organizing the pantry this weekend a box of cookies fell and hit him in the eye. I know this sounds about as likely as the dildo story… but yes, my husband did re-organize the pantry. He is amazing.
July 30th, 2007 at 12:27 pmA. No, D. No, B. No, C. That’s it. Final answer C.
July 30th, 2007 at 12:32 pmUm, all four I’d say.
July 30th, 2007 at 12:42 pmwhats wrong with ppp?
July 30th, 2007 at 12:43 pmA!!! That’s my vote. Are you trying to compete with Miles for head injuries?
July 30th, 2007 at 12:44 pmIf you hadn’t played “Pin the dildo on the mommy,” this wouldn’t have happened.
July 30th, 2007 at 12:59 pmHmm, after the well-deserved slam you delivered toward the PPP people, b seems like a believable answer. Except after reading a, I misread b the first time and thought you said the PPP guy attacked you with his…you know. And I’ll go on and say that sounded believable too.
July 30th, 2007 at 1:13 pmSomeone has really good aim with dildos. That’s my guess. Perhaps a dildo ninja?
(I don’t really believe that. But I do want this blog to be the number one search result for “dildo ninja”. You’re welcome.)
July 30th, 2007 at 1:40 pmI am going to say C for Chris because I know that is how I would have done it!
July 30th, 2007 at 1:43 pmI so wish it was A…
July 30th, 2007 at 1:43 pmWell if it were ME, the answer would be C. A is much funnier though.
July 30th, 2007 at 1:48 pmI would have to say the dildo theory would be the best choice. Yet, I have heard those pay-per-post people are brutal!
July 30th, 2007 at 1:51 pmA. Obviously. Anyone who’s ever conversed with SJ would know this.
July 30th, 2007 at 1:57 pmUm, I live way out here and am discovering that my English is lacking…
What is a “dildo”???
I must be way out to lunch on this, because I think this is comment 47 and I am the first to “out myself”. I honestly do not know…
July 30th, 2007 at 2:48 pmI’m gonna guess it was a combination of all four. You found out the bar tab which made you faint onto the point of a Pay Per Post pen and then to awaken you, SJ threw the dildo at your face, which got caught on your shirt, making it fly over your head where your nametag scrapped your retina.
July 30th, 2007 at 2:51 pmAm I close??
Hope you’re feeling better today… It was so much fun hanging out with you!
July 30th, 2007 at 3:01 pmHow about E) Susan beat me up when she saw what all I had charged to our room?
And for the record, I was only responsible for 75% of the bar bill, KAREN. Sheesh.
July 30th, 2007 at 3:09 pmJust for fun, I googled ‘dildo ninja,’ and this site did not show up on the first page. I guess we have to write it some more. ‘dildo ninja’ ‘dildo ninja’
and since no one else was brave enough to answer andrea’s question, a dildo is a fake phallus.
July 30th, 2007 at 4:06 pmAs much as I would like to think it was A, B or D, it could only be C. Those name tags will get you every time.
July 30th, 2007 at 5:10 pmAlthough A sounds like the best story to tell I can just picture C happening…So are you going to fill us in or just make us wonder?
July 30th, 2007 at 5:13 pmHope your eye is alright.
i’m gonna go with a, though, if it were me, c would be the more likely way that would happen.
July 30th, 2007 at 5:22 pmDildo Ninja, Dildo Ninja….just doing my best to help out Stephanie! The suspense….the suspense…..and why can’t I go to conferences that give out dildo’s? We always get candy.
July 30th, 2007 at 5:29 pmI always heard you could put out an eye with one of those things…or is it you’d go blind if you used it too much?
July 30th, 2007 at 5:52 pmHaving been there, I have to go with the Pay-Per-Post scenario.
Good lord woman, take care of yourself! I’m still worried about you not eating two days ago.
July 30th, 2007 at 5:59 pmAll happened, but C did the damage.
July 30th, 2007 at 9:27 pmOh, my.
July 30th, 2007 at 11:29 pm(Thanks to Stephanie (dildo ninja), you brave woman you, thanks for the definition…)
Hmmm… and here I was thinking that maybe Andrea didn’t know what a dildo was because maybe there is no need for them in Germany…hmmm And, oh yeah… Dildo Ninja, Dildo Ninja, Dildo Ninja.
