Carl and I were bench racing in the pits one day before our final combat match at the Rocky mtn. CL champs. Probably around 1998. We were joking about what we were going to do to each other in the circle to gain an advantage. I jokingly told him "I'll just step on your toe!" Carl replied " Go ahead, I don't have one!" I said, no way! He told me to feel his shoe, and sure enough, no big toe! I quickly asked him, what happened to it? Seems that his thumb got cut off at work, and re-attaching it did not work. So, they offered to put his big toe on his hand! When he held it out, sure enough, it was a big toe, thumb!! I will never forget that big Toe hair on his thumb! Man, those were good times. What this hobby is all about. I am really gonna miss my old friend Carl. There will never be anyone again like him.
