Heres another good Joke.....

A women is driving a tad bit to fast on her way into town when she passes a cop with a radar gun hiding slightly behind a billboard. She looks in her rear view mirror and sure enough the cop has pulled out with his lights on and tells her to pull to the side of the road, He walks up to her window with the typical cop smirk and asks Why were you driving so fast? The women replied that she was late for work. The cop then asks her, Well what do you do for a living? The women replies I am a ****** stretcher, The cop now looking puzzled asked A ****** stretcher what the heck does a ****** stretcher do? The women replies, Well first i stick in one finger and work it until I can get 2 then 3 then 4 and eventually my entire hand inside until its about 6 foot. The cop now really baffled exclaimed, Well what in the hell would you do with a 6 foot ass hole? The woman now smiling replied, You put him in a cop car with a radar gun and hide him behind a sign.

Yo Dane whats up, Hope your feeling a little better sometimes just getting the results back can ease a lot of stress even if its not 100 percent good news. Hopefully yours is good in nature. Remember when I was judging The Donnie Memorial and told you I thought you would make the W.C.T. in 2008, I remember you saying Geez Dave thats kind of a lot of pressure and weren't as confident that you would get there or even take that path as far as how to shape your career. Well it's 08 and here you are right were you belong. You are one of the 10 best surfers on this planet period, competitive or otherwise. You have stayed true to yourself and your surfing and have helped reshape the entire way pro surfing is viewed on a performance level. Your ability to listen watch and learn from others has been amazing. To me though the best part is that you do not conform to those ideas but rather take the parts you are interested in and mix it up with your own approach. I think the end result is an aggressive and innovative style of surfing that looks mature and in control. I also told you that you would win the World Title by 2010 and judging by what I have seen so far you are well on your way. Don't change a thing and you will achieve things that just a few years ago you couldn't even fathom. That part you said about T.K.'s film and actually being able to watch a guy surf entire sessions and appreciate it more because you can see mistakes how he reacts and changes lines and adjusts to sections, that to me was a super intelligent statement. I mean just seeing perfect trick after perfect trick has made people lose sight of how hard it is to achieve those maneuvers and how much dedication and time is spent trying it over and over again. Heres to a speedy recovery. Tell Viirrrrrsy WHAT UP! and hope to see you grinding down a fat Cristy's Burrito in the near future. Dave Schauber A.S.P. W.Q.S.

Get well soon Dane. Here's a joke to give you a chuckle.

A man walks into a bar.

Bartender asks what will you have.

Man replies "A Beer and a shot of whiskey before the trouble starts".

Bartender shakes his head and gives him his drinks.

All night, each time the bartender asks for his order the man says "A Beer and a shot of whiskey before the trouble starts".

Finally the bartender asks the man what trouble he's talking about.

The man says "Give me a beer and I might just tell you".

The bartender replies, "Sorry, you've had your limit for the night".

The man says "Ohh, now the trouble starts"..

Get well soon! I'm not a doctor, but the rib thing could be a strain/tear in your intercostal muscle, which is the muscle between your ribs. I had this a while ago and it just makes you feel sore and tired while it repairs itself. There wasn't much to do but rest. And yeah, definitely don't watch the webcast--it's ridiculous.

Dane, I suffered a similar experience a couple of years ago. In the end it was a virus that doctors were unable to identify but the same way it got into my body it disappeared 3 months later. The main symptom I had was a creeping weakness that made me feel like I was going to die and a weird chest pain. As a consequence of this virus and worrying and stressing myself about what was going to happen to me, I developed an anxiety disorder that ended up being much more worse than the virus itself. So my advice to you is to just keep a good mood, relax, and trust in God that He will take you out of this one. Be patient and soon enough you will be back in the lineup. Remember, all trials in life are blessings in disguise, and you will become a much more stronger person after this. I can assure you this because that`s what happened to me. Pretty soon you will be thanking God the next time you paddle out for your next session the same as I did.

Son of a *****, so my internet at home is down and first thing I do when I get back to work is check my fantasy team. Dane is out with 0 points. Oh well, at least he warned us. I had the same thing happen, but it was a collapsed lung and I was out of the water for 6 months. I cant scuba dive anymore either. Anyways, im sure thats not what it is because youd probably be dead right now. Good luck

well dane that sounds painfull what a strange thing to have my freind had the same pains when he inhaled and he went to the docs and he was diagnosed with pluracy which you can catch from surfing dirty water well get well soon and take it easy for a while.

get well soon dane! I see you in France

get well soon and back out to kicking jordy's ass in wct

Back when I was surfing everyday I had VERY similar pain. After the pain put me out of the water for months I finally saw a chiropractor and he told me that my ribs were "popping out" of place slightly which affected my breathing and hurt on both sides of my body. It was enough to cause pain and similar to what you describe. Hit the chiropractor it totally fixed me up after only a few visits!
What do ya got to lose?

Get well soon! I need some more video clips! HAAA I can't be a Dentist forever. L8r, Eddie

That doesn't sound fun at all; hope everything's good on Tuesday, get well soon!

dude! thats heavy, hope you are feeling better soon!

hope you get better soon! Sounds like pleurisy, pericarditis, or possibly a pulmonary embolism (PE --= blood clot in the lung, which you can get after long plane trips). If it's the first two, no biggie. Just make sure they checked you out for a PE, as that's the most dangerous possibility. Topical Salon-Pas patches can really help the pain, in addition to high-dose ibuprofen +/- prescription narcotics. Don't forget humor and plenty of sleep for a quick recovery.
