Apocalypse OW

Much like John McCain, Sneaky is unable to raise his arms above his shoulders. His injuries, however, were not sustained at the Hanoi Hilton, but instead are due to a debilitating sunburn on his back and shoulders acquired during yesterday's island-hopping booze cruise.

Today, after our mudbaths at the mineral spas and more than a few beers, Sneaky mustered up the courage to pop the giant sunburn blister that had formed on one of his arms. There is video of this entire debacle, which I will one day share with you. For now, you'll have to be satisfied with a photo of the absolutely heinous-looking thing he had on his arm up until a few hours ago:


Moms, please take comfort in the fact that this minor surgery was performed in as sterile an environment as possible; The needle was put through a flame, and--despite the major stinging and wincing on Sneaky's part--I used an alcohol swab before stabilizing the wound with Neosporin and a Band-Aid. I could have been a great triage nurse...
