just one of the drawbacks to being a pale scotch-irish bastard:

---
Kill Whitey.

That's why beer and cheese graters are a bad combination.

It was such a waste of everyone’s time and money that even the Tokyo stadium’s rape robots apologized– something they were programmed specifically never to do.

That happened to me once. It was a sort of hazy, overcast day. I was too dumb to wear a hat, and was outside for about six hours. A couple of days later, after the splitting headache went away, my head looked like that. I distinctly remember pulling strips of skin off the size of medium band-aids.

100 pounds of shit in a 25 pound sack.

My back looked like that after the most disgustingly awesome road trip ever. For the next three months sheets of skin (yes, sheets) were peeling off my shoulders and upper back.

It sounded like duct tape being unrolled.

the kid's getting old, the kid's getting old

Should have hit it with some aloe vera gel before it started peeling. Now you have the option of being peely for a week or you can give it a good scrubbing (yes it will hurt) and try some aloe based lotion on it. Really, I'd just wait it out.

Mediocrity at its most average.

I'm a pale French/English/Irish/Dutch bastard.  I remember one summer at age 14 or so coming home from swimming with huge blisters on my shoulders... basically 2nd degree burns?  Gabe, you're the one with medical training.  Will I die some day?

Oh shit here comes the twist ending....

You died that day from the sunburn!!!

I see sun damaged people...

You and everyone else. I don't think you need medical training to know that.

The real question is, have you truly lived?

And about that picture, all I can say is, fucking ouch.

The following statement its true. The previous statement is false

man, i'm rockin 800x600 resolution and before i scrolled down i thought i was looking at solar flares

what if nigger meant kite

I really wish you fags would stop blaming it on your European heritage.

If you weren't born over here, you're just a burnt American.

---
Dad was flammable

aren't fags cigarettes?

and yes i am american obviously, but my genetic makeup is scotch irish, deal with it.

---
Kill Whitey.

i had so much fun posting that i had to do it twice.

---
Kill Whitey.

If it helps my sister is currently in a much worse condition than that. She sunbathed in the ten minutes of sun Liverpool recieved last week and  can't sit down without screaming obscenties.

Sorry, didn't mean to post twice there. That's never happened to me before.

There's a glitch in the thread.

AGENTS!

Aren't you the Yellow Bastard from Sin City?

Never move out here. Between the high elevation and lack of things to block the sun, it's a miracle I don't burst into flames whenever I go outside. Even with 70 spf I can't stay more than an hour in the sun before I burn.

Well, if it wasn't for your damned pasty European genes fucking up the natives on this continent, maybe we'd be all bronzed gods.

Isn't it weird putting on sunscreen in the snow?

Yup.

Though I hate the smell of sunscreen and I hate anything greasy on my skin. Fortunately I've learned to avoid the outside whenever possible. With any luck, soon I shall evolve into a strange albino creature that only ventures outside at night, preying on the flesh of nighttime stockboys.

I was out in the sun for about a total of fifteen minutes today while I was moving furniture to and from the truck/apartment and my face is a little burned. 7,200 feet of elevation is a bitch. How I managed to survive 9,200 feet for an entire summer while staying outside most of the time is something short of a miracle. I must have been a robot back then.

AA, I suggest this Hawaiian Tropic blue burn relief ice gel stuff. It's a topical analgesic and has this weird evaporating cooling thing that's the most awesome ever on sunburns. I all but guzzled the stuff when I got my last bad burn while working at Walmart. The cooling effect worked so well that the air currents on my face from walking gave me an ice cream headache.

...but she was just out...in the back...with my mother...

Aloe vera + menthol for cooling. It's the same stuff I put on Kajun's arm the entire time he was here. I don't know if it will work for AA because he's already let it get to the point of peeling.
