[Molly]

Hello boys and girls, and welcome to Christian Aid UK.
dirty_c (aka Christian McNevin) is an active member of this-here-wonderful-arty-community and we wish to support him in his time of need.
Following a UK meet at the British Museum London, to see the Michelangelo exhibition, we, the Britons, would like to share with you the most memorable UK meet us folk have had so far....

Please donate your words of kindness and sympathy. The donations box did not make it. Shatter to a million pieces, it was swept away like yesterdays rubbish.
And no, DC did not manage to get the money that was inside...

We also had a 35 min Thunderdome before going into the Michelangelo exhibit called 'Oh, I hit my head on the Museum'

UK folk, please post the results

aahahaha that picture of him running into it is just brilliant

poor christian though that's gonna hurt for a while

[Red_Rook]

Hah, christ. Christian how the fuck did you manage that man? Get well, hope there is no severe head trauma and all that. CA sketch meets can be hazardous events by the looks of em, you should put a warning!
Fuck me that bled alot. o__O

Molly wonderful Journolistic work youve done here :)

[yAdam]

:) Great photos! I hadn't seen the in action shot...The donations box had no chance...

[Pixeldragoon]

Duuude shit.

And you're SMILING?

[Molly]

hey Rook - thanks;) All in all, it was a fun day, the 14 o us ended up in Nanos, and DC was able to join us which was great!

yAdam - I got ur name wrong in the photo - sorry mate:)

[lefran]

haha molly thats so cool ^_^

aaw bless him i just heard all about it
and like i said to him im gutted i couldnt go coz i missed everything!

[Dirty C]

Thanks everyone haha - ok, so I got seven stitches above my eye, and a bunch of steristrips (the butterfly thingies) holding together my lower eyelid. Apparently I missed going blind my about half a centimetre. Guess it must be cause I was wearing my Muhammad Ali jacket haha

So I've taken the week off, have a monster headache and don't feel much like getting out of bed. This is what I look like now - should be more interesting when the bandages fall off and we get to see just how black my face is :D

http://toeslikefingers.com/images/photos/donation_face/progress01.jpg

**edit: molly, the picture rocks. totally looks like me, and what happened. except this morning i've realised i hurt my left arm pretty
bad too haha - oh, and i love the poem babe**

[timpaatkins]

Man thats hysterical. Im doing the same next time i go to my local art museum.
"Heres what i think of your donate what you can/entrance fee!!"

and then proceed to let the donation box kick the shit out of me.

Hehe, but seriously thatll leave one sexy scar fo the ladies and some great "you should see the other guy" storys.
THanks for brightening my day!

Tim

[Dirty C]

oh, i have to post again and thank sunili (warhead) for sticking round and taking me to the hospital. Thanks dude, totally took one for the team.

Right now, I've run out of pain killers - if anyone happens to pass through angel, feel free to bring me some :(

[fooxoo]

Awww your poor head! How did you manage to do that!!! Put some ice on it!

[koshime]

Other than the stiches making you look more manly (I'm sorry but the pics are hysterical...ish) hope yoru war wounds heal well chris.

[Kian]

Fair play DC. You handled the whole situation very well. So props for that mate.

[Crash]

hahhahahaha omg.

He really is that muscley

[Carnifex]

aww man,that gotta hurt.
when i read the title i thought this was gonna be about some religious aid group or something and then...:D
i recently came to the conclusion that i had mistaken you for wafflehouseninja at the prague workshop,which is why i thought you looked much younger in san fran:D
gotta say though,your hairdo has grown alot better since prague. geez i'm blabbering.
get well soon.
cheers!

edit: you seem extraordinary happy for a man who just got his face cut up by a donations box:D
(well,except on that one you posted yourself)

[Dirty C]

koshime, check your PMs dude.

[MarkDN]

Holy crap dude, OUCH.

I was at the British Museum yesterday, sketching in the parthenon Galleries from 10 am and then went into the Michelangelo exhibition just after 12 and was in there till nearly half four. Sorry to have missed you all.

[RES]

owww thats nasty, hang in there DC and get well soon

[Zebz]

Laughing my ass off....Ha!! Durty, you crack me up. Hopefully you'll have a kickin' scar to tell battle stories to impress all the ladies in Montreal. Heh.

[neoknocker]

Holy SHIT! You got banged up good man! Try not to insult another box like that. They are mean fuckers.

Get well DC and maybe we'll meet up in MTL.

[GNL]

respect man, that looks brutal

[Steph Laberis]

HOLY CHRIST(IAN)!!!

I talked to you like, yesterday, why didn't you say anything?!
I'll send you a care package stat. Do you like buttercream? Milk or dark chocholate?

[Dirty C]

buttercream would probably kill me - but dark chocolate!!! hehehe thanks babe

christ, i feel better now. thank christ my ex brought some paracetomol over, i was running a really nasty fever before and couldn't even speak.

anyway, my eye is now seriously going purple. when the dressing comes off, i'll take some more progress photos :P :P

[flatliner]

Now thats real freindship :P.

Hope you get better soon man.

[S.C. Watson]

Holy crap, that's funny. Glad you're okay mate. But damn, think twice about taking on those donation boxes. They're professionally trained.

~Oreg.

[Slash]

Haha, sorry for laughing, but that was PRICELESS!! And you got it all on camera!

The world needs more outspoken atheists like you! Hope you heal up good and pretty!

[cartoonfox]

me and adam were up till 8am in the morning laughing so hard our lungs hurt. everytime we imagined it, we started laughing again!! : ]

Anyway, I'd like the point out that the donation boxes are HARD and HEAVY. Christian maneged to smack into, smash and push the donation box over onto the floor... with his FACE!!!
Don't mess kiddies, he's hard core, he said to me "pass my beer, BITCH" and I did it for fear of death!!

: p
get well soon dude!


peace

Sooo, I better post my pics.

[asoir]

hahah, crap, now i wish i went... to help you of course! :P great story!

[blog]

Oh man it looks like you had so much fun ( pleasure, pain type thing for some hehe), I wish I could come, :(

[S.C. Watson]

Still can't stop laughing.

Just think how lucky you were that this was in the UK. If it had been in the US, you'd be in Gitmo by now and no one would ever see you again...

heh.

[cartoonfox]

Asoir... you are in London?!?!

i had no idea you lived in the UK! did you move recentley? im confused!
anyway, cool, you need to some down to meet sometime, just bring head gear and insurance! these meets are hard core, people WILL get hurt, blood WILL be spilt! : p


peace

[blog]

lol this has turned into a mini UK thread:D

[MoP]

Oh, man, DC, that was pricelessly moronic - congratulations!

Suffer no concussion. Those will be some photos to avoid showing the grandchildren...

[young paddy1]

That pic just before the, er, incident looks like Molly's pouring something on the floor, everybody else looks like they're in on the joke.

goddamn you bleed a lot, I don't think I bled that much when I chopped the end of me finger off.

get well soon you crazy dirty man. :)

[sleep]

Sooo, I better post my pics.

why is the first one focusing on me with a silly face

and why has the second one got me looking at midnight's crotch

[Hiipi]

Ha ha ha!! Oh shit! You ain´t no Jackie Chan! :D



Damn nice entrance!!!

[Quicksilver]

Oooooohh, yesterday was priceless. Seriously...that was so unexpected!! Really hope that thing heals up though (well, not completely - gotta have a battle scar to make up for the pain/laughter). How are you doing now?

Josh: Aww mooo, I look really gawkish in all of your photos :nohope: Ah well.

Mollz: You couldn't have had better timing - those shots are *perfect*, babe!

As for my pics - for some reason my card reader isn't reading the new card, which is ghey. I'll try it out again tomorrow (didn't really take many pics).

Soooo wish I'd taken a pic of the donation box though, the shattery damage was pretty damn impressive for the human head AND rather beautiful to look at.

Christian, forever our devoted artist. :yayca:

peace
haha, yeah, born and raised. will see if i can meet up with you guys some day, thanks for the invite! peace!

[Midnight]

Christian, you're hardcore, in a totally fucked-up way! Hope you feel better soon!

Mid.

[Brand_X]

Ouch that looks seriously painful DC. Heres hoping you don't suffer from some sort of trauma induced aversion to museums, or large boxes of money for that mater. That could crimp a mans style.

I'll second Oreganos' compliments to level headed UK security. Over here the combination of noise + money + blood would have resulted security charging in with guns drawn at the very least.

[Dirty C]

yeah, i dunno how well i would have done with the armed geezers over there.

more update:

[Steph Laberis]

STOP POSTING UPDATES!!! EEEWWWW!!!

...how many stitches?

[Dirty C]

seven :)

[MoP]

nice face, it'd be a shame to have to break it again

[[void]]

Unfortunately i didnt get to see the event firsthand because i was late like a a fool, but its probably best i didnt because as cartoonfox said just thinking about it made us laugh a life threatening amount and seeing it, well......

So i had to get by on eyewitness testimony, some said it was a homeless man desperate for change, others say molly pushed him, the list goes on:
-tripped on a turtle
-did it for the attention
-stumbled on phantom limb
-it was an accident

Here is the an artists impression of the event, as told in storyboards SAGA STYLE!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v392/alx_b/DIRTY_CSAGA.jpg



Please contact dirty_c by pm or msn to give 2pounds a week to give this desperate man a chance.

Christian get well soon.

[Hiipi]

Sorry Mr C....

I had to come back to enjoy this little mishap of yours and to post some fan-art. This is you, interpreted by me and some JD artist, don´t remember the name.

Aww he thought it was blood-donation time...

Great story, must have been painful, hope you can laugh with it yourself.

[Wolfess]

Aww he thought it was blood-donation time...

Great story, must have been painful.


I wonder why no-one came up with that joke before you, Uziel.:tihi:


When I first was on this thread, I was just looking at the pictures. I thought DC had smeared Red paint on his face! Though why he would, I have no idea.:teeth: I had to read what happened to understand that it was blood and the poor donation box got a battering.

Get well soon, or I will send deranged antelopes to your house to eat you. But if I can't afford them, or they're doing a Birthday party on that day, I'll send a monkey with a hat on to scare you out of your skin...:D J/K

Wolfie-ess.^^

P.S Ph34r the monkeh.:x

[Dirty C]

Hahaha thanks everyone :) Some awesome stuff there Adam and Uziel :P

Man, my face gets its own fan art. And totally not for the right reasons haha

Well, as I've ben saying, I guess I'm gonna have to start doing some self portraits now, cause i'm gonna have a rockin pirate scar to bust out :P

[Carnifex]

hahaha yer gonna be a REAL metrosexual pirate now :D:D
you already dyed your hair,now all you need is some too many layers of clothing.:D

Rather amusing

[Dirty C]

HAHAHAHAHAHA - One of them is Chairman Mao!!!

[MayaSan]

We who are about to sacrifice ourselves on the altar of art salutes you :yayca:
We hope we will also be able to maintain such an extraordinary composure when our time comes. :yayca: :yayca: :yayca:

Seriously, I just can't stop laughing!!
Thanks Christian for charing this with us, and also big thanks for Friday night at Bröderna Olsson with the rest of the UK-CA's. We had a great time in London and it was a rare pleasure to hang out with you guys! Also of course big thanks to the other people that were there.
Post more updates, I want to see that black eye turning green and moving down to your chin!!!

Maya and Leo

[Slash]

You are my new hero!

[Carnifex]

[Slash]

When i get to visit that museum in the future, i'll boink my head against one of those boxes. It will be like a pilgrimage...

[lefran]

Heres my interpretation

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v315/pink_fairy_princess5/christianaid.jpg

[sve]

Well, Christian, I'm glad that your eye is still on it place. Don't feel like laughing anymore. I guess an angel looked your way in last moment. Get better soon.

[cartoonfox]

Hope you get a badass scar :) a true sign of les artiste!

[Midnight]

Meh, I fucked my pic with colour on the other side of the page >:{

Yesterday I saw Korn's 'Here To Stay' video, and just when Jonathan Davies (?) smashes his face through a pane of glass, I thought of Christian.

Hope your face is mending fast!

[Dirty C]

My eye is vain:

http://toeslikefingers.com/images/photos/donation_face/progress06.jpg

[Wolfess]

:x That's gonna be HUGE!

Despite the obvious pain you must have been in, I hope you find some comfort in knowing that you've inspired people to throw their heads against donation boxes and design artwork to cheer you up.

Thanks man.^^

http://www.filelodge.com/files/room21/560927/Christian%20aid%20copy.bmp

Peace out.:teeth:

[Carnifex]

those vivid colours...you could almost make an oil painting out of it...
and possibly noone would believe it's from reference.:D

[Steph Laberis]

Actually, the greens and purples that are showing up remind me of some of your earlier oil painting pallettes...

Sending chocolates soon ^_^ Hopefully they'll hold up in the warm weather.

[Cercie]

Oh my god i just saw this. Christian, damn it takes guts (or brains?) to take on a donations box. I saw your wounds in the Post your Picture thread and wondered where they came from, who knew that donation boxes were so vicious!

Hope you heal with a dashing scar.

[Summer Pudding]

Christian, enough with the false modesty mate; why don't you tell us what really happened? I heard those skinheads you decked were crying like pussies once you'd finished with 'em. ;)

here come da pain traaaaaiiin!! WOOO WOOOOOOO!!!!

http://toeslikefingers.com/images/photos/donation_face/progress08.jpg

[Carnifex]

[ZAChos]

I'm so sorry I wasn't there on the day to see that. So very sorry.

[Quicksilver]

Holy shit I never saw that hahahahahaha

Anyway, I'm all healed up now - damn doctor did *too* good a job haha

http://toeslikefingers.com/images/photos/donation_face/progress08.jpg
Lol, lovin' the expression, mate. Aaaaaaand pout! [pouts]

That scar is looking rather neat'n tidy, btw. You disappointed?

[P E N Ricklund]

Haha, god damn. Laughing. You gave me a nice little break in my homework, thanks mate.

Glad you're ok now.

Hugs!
