*shrug* I like smitten better than smote. Can't it be made pluperfect or something?

I had smitten him before he died...meh. *shrug*

I smote you with this Cupid's arrow. Now you have been smitten.

Okay "I smote you with this Cupid's Arrow. You are now smitten." makes a certain amount of sense, granted.
...
Why is it that he has to go around shooting people with Arrows ? Can't he use something like glue ?

Glue doesn't make as big holes. Also, there's a certain satisfaction of pulling that bowstring back and letting the arrow go that you don't get when squidjing blobs of recalcitrant glue outta a tube...*grins*

Feather me!

Weeeeellll.
There's also the fact that glue can be acidic. Well, certain types of glue. And it takes time. I'd prefer a slow, agonizing burn through one's flesh as love also burns and hurts as time goes on, rather than the quick stab in the heart with the arrow's barbs.

I still like the fact that toothpaste is corrosive. Thus, a simple message created with McLeans Triple Stripe on say a large piece of glass, and when it is finally removed, you will find your simple message remains on said piece of glass, execpt you will find it <i>etched in</i>.

Much fun to be had by all.

Actually, to be gramatically correct, wouldn't it be "I smite you with this Cupid's Arrow"?

Well, if you were saying it at the same time you were smiting, yes. If you had already smote the person, then no.

Okay doke.
But yes, the toothpaste one. How could I forget the everlovable toothpaste trick ? Damn... Gotta remember that one.

Mm..toothpaste tastes nice. Especially that Colgate stuff.

Future tense: I will smite you with this lightning bolt.
Present tense: I am smiting you with Paul's acerbic wit.
Past tense: I smote Peter with a chair.

Really tense: "If you don't shut up about smiting, you'll be able to research it quite thoroughly as I smite you to death with your own cerebellum"

Twelveeyes · Post by **Twelveeyes** » Wed Apr 03, 2002 12:15 am

Hrm. Doesn't one need their cerebellum to operate one's body?

Or are you proposing a remote controlling of the cerebellum that it will smite one's brains from the inside?

No, I'll just rip it out of your skull.

Twelveeyes · Post by **Twelveeyes** » Thu Apr 04, 2002 8:34 pm

Hrm. Then what would be the point of smiting?

Surely one would die if their head was ripped open and part of their brain pulled out?

It's more an anger and tension release/enjoyment thing

I'm with you here, Liam. I'm in the mood for a smitin'!

Corybantic · Post by **Corybantic** » Fri Apr 05, 2002 6:51 am

You just try that.

Delirieuse · Post by **Delirieuse** » Fri Apr 05, 2002 6:55 am

Maybe we could play totem tennis. You could attach someone's brainstem to the top of a pole and take turns hitting the brain around with bats.

how about cerebral cortex table tennis!
