    I had to go with the hornet stings; probably most pain at first, but goes away quickest.

    Having already endured the mosquito bites, poison ivy, and cut on foot injuries, I can safely say that I'd rather be bit on the buttocks by a non-poisoness snake.

    Oh, I'm also balding and just don't like the idea of big whelps on my dome.

    'Skeeters. I've lived through more than that several times.

    Mosquitos. I find the most annoying part of a mosquito bite is right BEFORE the bite, when you hear them BZZZZing near your ear. Scratching the bite actually feels good (channeling Ned Flanders), so I wouldn't mind having 10 bites, as long as I don't get some nasty virus from it.

    Before I entered into the thread, I was thinking, Head laceration, as you could still go swimming and such (as opposed to a cast on the arm or leg.)

    But, given the choices, I went with mosquito bites. They never get that bad for me.

    I went with snack bite to buttocks as that'll be one heckuva story. Besides need a buttock story to go along with the bird that has been attacking my head the last few days. True story.

    Don't get EJ started on buttocks. Next think you know, we will have a poll...

    The way I see it, would you really want an injury that would bother you every time you sit down? I use my buttocks good 12-14 hours a day, and I'd like to keep it uninjured, thank you very much.

    Back in Vegas... again.
    I also chose mosquitos. Two words: Calamine lotion. One more: Benadryl.

    The point of choosing the snake bite isn't about the pain, it's about the story. The pain will go away. The story, which over time will be slightly embellished, will last much much longer than the pain. Think about it, a bite on the buttocks has to be a hilarious story.

    Or a mildly erotic one (chomp, chomp!)

    Consensual biting can be a good thing.

    Looking over some old OT threads I found this one. First I thought, this was an odd topic, and then I wondered if it was based on personal experiences?

    I think y'all are fairly unfamiliar with snake bites. A snake bite isn't likely to even leave a mark unless you jerk away while its mouth is still closed around your skin. That being said, I did break my coccyx a few years ago, and yeah, that sucks. A lot... so while I agree with your desire to refrain from having an injured butt, I don't think that a non-poisonous snake bite would really cause "injury".

    See my reply about choosing a snake bite on the butt below.

    Mama told me that one day I was sitting on the front porch when a "good-sized" dog came up to me barking. She said I bit it...and the dog ran away.

    I have a vague recollection of this, but it IS true.

    You can pick your nose. You can pick your friends. But, you can't pick your friend's nose.

    I don't like pain. I cannot pick any of the choices. I'm no masochist.
