I was watching Fellowship of the Ring last night and thought Sean Bean's reaction to getting hit by three arrows was convincing. It would not feel good at all. Also, I think pulling an arrow out of your flesh would be even more painful. Unless you did it really quickly...

I had a fun weekend but, damn, am I exhausted!

Highlights include:
3 month old kitten rescue and finding a safe place for her in our house.
Quilt show at the Long Beach Convention Center
Wonderful house guests Friday and Saturday
Lunch with DP/FP/GG & Jan
More quilt show
Great music at the Hollywood Bowl on Sunday

Oh, and I worked (which I'm doing 7 days a week these days).

I disagree. At the risk of entering into an teleologically ontological discussion of the merits and disingenuations of said conundrum, I would have to suggest that even if the form of impact were less than injurious the intent and willingness (or perhaps negligence and inattention) that lead to such impact would carry through the day on still totally sucking.

One might respond vis-a-vis the argument from nerfness in which one is not only struck by an arrow in such a way as no harm is caused but also with an arrow of such material that no harm is possible. In a situation of such extremity it would continue to totally suck in that one is such an oaf as to be unable to avoid impact with said trifle.

There also exists, in a post-Freudian deconstructionist interpretation of the problem statement, the theory that the arrow in question is not, per se, actually an arrow but instead a penis. In which case it could be argued that while "totally suck" might not actually happen, it is without doubt true that some person involved in the impact scenario will wish it did.

Thanks, Alex. I have just submitted my first quote.

[DreadPirateRoberts]

I hope the quote comes with a secret decoder ring.

Quit.

I posted a thread in the Parking LoT to showcase some of my projects while keeping them away from search engines. I'll update it as I finish new ones.

Wow, two news stories that are

2,000 homes are threatened.

If I was hit by an arrow, I'd probably cry. I admit it. Boromir did a little. I'd cry a lot, I'm thinking. But you don't see that much in movies.

Suddenly, out of the forest...
Woooosh *thunk*
"Oh sh!t. What the f*ck? Sniff. Sniff. What the hell? omg omg omg! Sniff sniff... waaaahhh! Okay, now what? Okay, one...two... No, forget it. It'll hurt. Sni-sni-snifff. Kevy said arrows may be poisoned... better pull it out. One... two... f*cking three! Oh Jesus f*ck that hurt! Man! I f*cking hate Sherwood Forest, dawg. I'm so f*cking outta here. Hood can find some other b!tch to be merry..."
