Unfortunately for Lou losing a single leg still wouldn't be enough to get a tugboat

He would have to be a quadriplegic for a tugboat.

CW: A woman's bare leg.

Interesting that he doesn't say how this "happened to me." Unfamiliar ground and neuropathy--did he trip on a curb or did his foot flop down and drag?

That wound on his knee looks...wrong. Like, it looks more like he got shot with a paintball than anything. The blood looks orange. It just looks off to me.

I think the photo is when it was new and juicy. The blood is clotting but clear serous fluid is coming to the surface, mixing with a little of the blood to make a translucent orange.

"Bandages won't stay on it" SKILL ISSUE

This is one more instance of Lou's poor risk assessment. Alternating doom prophecies about his eyes in order to scam iPads. Actual wound: meh, cleaning it is for suckers, might shower later (haven't decided).

IMO we're very unlikely to skip forward on Lou's Amputation Journey, but a dude with MRSA history, living with a bunch of neglected animals and another family member with MRSA history, sleeping on a bare mattress and never cleaning, should be more proactive about cleaning and covering a superficial wound.

"Antibiotics fix everything" is not going to last forever, and it's really only for people with excellent renal function.

There’s an opportunity here for Septic Lou, as well. That’s part of the reason why you clean your wounds.

Endocarditis Lou, even! But like so many cows, his plot armor needs to be studied.

 

[Ultra Ping]

God I hate people who post their nasty ass wounds on social media.

 

[Lou's Abndoned Artwork]

A while back I tripped on some uneven sidewalk and skinned by forearm bad, because I landed on it on someone’s incredibly rough, textured driveway. I did the usual stuff - cleaned it, antiseptic, etc.

The thing is, compared to when I would skin or fuck myself up as a kid / teenager it healed slowly - at least 3 times as slow when I was younger. It was the first time I realised “Ah, you really do heal slower when you get older”

Lou has shitty circulation in his extremities and is very fat and very diabetic. It’s also 10 years until he’s an old man in his 50’s. His “wound” is nothing more than a skinned knee but I can’t imagine how slowly that will heal with his unhygienic environment and poor health.

"Bandages won't stay on it" SKILL ISSUE

Louie is a fucking idiot and clearly hasn't dealt with many open wounds in his life. This isn't a paper cut or a knick to the knuckle with a pocket knife that you just slap a Band-Aid on. Due to the size of the wound, and the location of it being in an area that is prone to flexing and frequent movement, you want something far more substantial than a regular ol' Band-Aid. You'd at least want a gauze pad secured with medical tape, or better yet secured with a couple of wraps of Curlex or self-adhesive tape. You want something secure that isn't going to slip and move the gauze off the wound, but will flex and move with the movement of the joint.

Band-Aids aren't meant for covering wide wounds like that. They're intended for minor scrapes or cuts on a small joint like a knuckle, or on the pad of a finger, where the strip can be wrapped around the digit all the way and secured to itself. If it's just stuck to skin it's going to lose it's grip quickly and just slough off.

Edit: and why the fuck would you put a trigger warning for a "woman's" (man's) leg?

Come on, we all know why he phrases it like that. It's his subtle and quirky way way to own all the chuds claiming he isn't a true and honest woman.

Well, I mean, he ISN'T a true and honest woman. Fucking Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles would be able to peg him as a male 100% of the time. It's pretty hard to "own the chuds" when you can't even pass as an ass-all ugly fucking woman.

One of the mysteries of Lou is how he got that old without understanding how the world works.

Not in a "haha you still believe in voting" sense, but just... how do you wash laundry, what is inside of food, how do you dress a simple wound, do shoes usually dissolve in puddles? sounds reasonable; people with wallets should buy that.

Dude's been coddled his whole life and he's still miserable 24/7.

Lou tries to explain why he cares so darn much about his nephew.


A new begpost.


A new completely unnecessary need.

Another cause close to his heart.

So fucking pissed off about something.

Maybe it's about FEMA in Texas, I can't remember if Lou likes Texans or thinks they deserved it like South Carolinians.

Yes, that's the joke.

 

[Lou's Sentient Backfat]

A new completely unnecessary need.

And thus, the shiny he JUST got is relegated to the hoard. I swear to god, when Lou finally croaks and they have to clean up his room the amount of copper and gold in all the electronics he's bought will be worth more than the GDP of some countries.

A new begpost.

We know Lou lives within walking distance of Walmart, fat fucker is just lazy. I would assume if anyone pointed that out to him he'd go on a rant about it's totally 120 degrees outside and expecting him to walk is a death sentence. Oh and the food would somehow spoil on the way. I don't know how cans of Great Value pasta sauce and boxes of spaghetti noodles are supposed to spoil, but then again, I'm not a serial grifter.

Ah yes, he needs the money not only for a new electronic, but also games for it, and of course he'll need $100 for bus fare, naturally. What shiny do we think he's actually jonesing for now? No way he actually gives a shit about the Louman Shield. I can buy that the shield's father is enough of a junky piece of shit to steal something like that and try and pawn it, but if that were the case, you'd assume Denise would be screaming on Facebook about it.

Two reposts.

Could it be possible Lou is grifing for money for new deformed weasel art?

"$33 on a ticket and food well spent."

Funny how he has money to spend on capeshit and theater food. Most people who don't make much will usually save up to go see a movie they're really interested in and sneak food in. I get that that's shitty to the theater because that's where the bulk of their money comes from, but that shit is expensive when you don't have much. It really does show how Lou has no concept of the value of a dollar.

Superman.

I haven't seen the movie and really have no interest in it, but, what people actually want is for movies to stop beating their audience over the head with overt messages that are all basically the same, that being, "if you're to the right of Mao, you're a terrible human being and bad things should happen to you". Movies can have messages and even themes and points that make people uncomfortable and make them think, District 9 is a great example of that, but it has to be subtle and woven into the narrative organically. Just creating "generic orange man bad villain #323134" isn't gonna do it. I imagine it doesn't matter though, I have a feeling the movie will do well just because DC can plaster "From the Director of Guardians of the Galaxy" on it.

re: the PS4; the only part of that story I can believe is that his brother would be willing to steal his own kid's PS4. But is Lou's brother actually back from prison yet?

Lou tries to explain why he cares so darn much about his nephew.

Continuing in the same vein: Lou says his biggest regret is not being able to watch Shield play baseball (that dang surgery! ) Has Lou ever even mentioned Shield's baseball before? Let alone given any indication that Shield's baseball so much as registers as an interest of Lou's, let alone being as important to Lou's life as is buying ketchup, buying iPads, and telling strangers to eat a shotgun?

The only times I can recall him discussing Shield's interests are those few times Lou could get something out of them, like the bowling birthday party Lou invited himself to, then got mad because he had to pay for his own game. unlike the literal children at the literal children's party.

Interesting that he doesn't say how this "happened to me." Unfamiliar ground and neuropathy--did he trip on a curb or did his foot flop down and drag?

So is this professional caution? Or are we VERY UNLIKELY to see Lou's leg suffer a post-birth abortion?

I don't want to sound disappointed (I guess it'd be good, for his family's sake if nothing else; not even the horsefucker deserves a future of supporting a legless Lou), but it'd sure be something else if he could go Featured Submission worthy just in time for the 2000th Page Spectacular...

Lou has mentioned it a couple of times, although usually he mentions it a long with the fact that they go out to get fast food afterwards. That's what rustles Lou's jimmies, the fact that they don't take him along so he can get 5 double quarter pounders, 3 large fries, and a diet coke.

Yeah, Steve could well have taken his son's PS4 to sell. There was this sad post from Steve's dad back in 2022.

Lou occasionally mentions his nephew playing baseball or football but always in the context of some moan or other, like not being able to see him play for some reason or, as said, not getting a meal afterwards. I've never seen him say anything positive about it. This is the only other post with the word baseball on his current account.

I would bet my entire Warhammer collection that Lou has never willingly attended one of the Shield's games, and when he has gone he's just sulked and whined and spent the entire time insulting strangers on his phone instead of rooting for his nephew. I recall one incident a year or two ago where Lou was whining and moaning on his social media because the Shield had a game on his birthday and his family was allegedly going to go to the game and ignore his special day entirely, whereas a normal non-shitty person would have gone to the game to cheer for his nephew, then done something fun for himself afterward.

Yeah, see, that's basically my recollection too. The few mentions of Shield's hobbies have either been in passing, showing no interest, or else he's bitching about Shield / wishing bodily harm upon the kid.

I don't think I've ever heard him express any personal interest in Shield's doings (beyond the aforementioned bowling saga, and even that was less "I want to spend time with Shield" and more "why do these shithead kids get to enjoy bowling but I have to pay for it"). Shield's either an obstacle in the way of whatever Lou wants today, or he's a prop to use in a begpost; if he's ever had even a minute of genuine interest in doing something with Shield for the sake of doing something with Shield, he hasn't mentioned it.

The difference between Lou's knee and Lou's foot: he can feel his knee, he can see his knee, he can reach his knee. Yeah, it has better circulation, but being able to feel pain in it means he's not going to sit around and fester; it gets bumped to the same level of monitoring as when Lou didn't poop for a day and a half and nearly went to the ED.

I think it's possible for him to lose a leg (below knee) relatively suddenly, but it'd start with something like him stepping down with all his bulk onto one of his sideways Charcot feet on a stairstep or a curb or something, absolutely shattering the bones.
