Grenade - Tumblr Posts

Boom on Flickr.

Via Flickr: rough sketch from an old illustration- I liked it so I posted it.

Austro-Hungarian soldier throwing a Grenade, 1917

La bombe humaine. Tu as le détonateur juste à côté du cœur.

The power of stones...

Learn when to use literally, kids.

*Listening to 'Grenade' on the radio.

Cousin: Would you catch a grenade for someone?

Me: Literally?

Cousin: Yeah.

Me: Are you seriously asking me if I would stretch out my fleshy appendage to catch a tossed explosive device from World War 1? Who the hell has one of those lying around anyways? Am I supposed to believe that someone is just carrying an ancient war weapon in their back pocket? "HEADS UP, BITCH!"

Cousin: -blank stare- You completely missed the point of the song.

Me: You asked if I would literally catch a grenade for someone. I gave you a literal answer.

Cousin: I'm not even surprised by your answer.

Me: If it makes you feel any better, if we found ourselves in that situation I would push you out of the way.

Cousin: NOT EVEN THE POINT.

Me: Never mind then...ungrateful.
