True store: when I was about 8 years old, I had a friend who wanted to see if his tongue would stick to the ice of a local skating rink. He screamed in pain when he found out it would, so I skated to him as fast as I could, forgetting that I didn't know how to stop. My skate sliced his tongue and there was blood everywhere, just like the Clint Malarchuk incident (See here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dR-wA4SmbO4).

I traded snow and ice for sun and sand.
