10:46 AM <•ConShaunnery> "Ay", he said aloud. There is no translation for this word and perhaps it is just a noise such as a man might make, involuntarily, feeling the nail go through his hands and into the wood.
10:48 AM <•Madplatypus> Yeah but people weren't crucified with nails usually ConShaunnery.
10:49 AM <•Madplatypus> Better done with rope, or the nails just tear through the flesh from the weight.
10:50 AM <•ConShaunnery> That was a line from Hemingway
10:51 AM <•ConShaunnery> Sorta wish I'd written it :/
10:52 AM <•ConShaunnery> Nails communicate the simile a lot better anyhow
10:52 AM <•Madplatypus> Yeah but innaccurate. :P
10:52 AM <•Madplatypus> I figured it was a quote from someone.
10:55 AM <•ConShaunnery> Symbolism should have more regard for quick and meaningful communication than for historical accuracy

10:56 AM <•ConShaunnery> Though I can see how it might be a little bothersome to see a reference like that and know it isn't accurate :P
11:06 AM <•Madplatypus> ConShaunnery, yes, and it's also an excuse to be silly. :P
11:08 AM <•ConShaunnery> Ok good, as long as you're not leveling that as a substantial gripe with the quote then I'm alright with it
11:08 AM <•Madplatypus> Yeah no, ConShaunnery. The quote is fine.
11:09 AM <•Madplatypus> But it's important to have accurate understanding of torture ConShaunnery.
11:09 AM <•Madplatypus> We wouldn't want to misunderstand art.
11:12 AM <•ConShaunnery> Good then, I wouldn't want you to enter Steve territory of literary criticism
11:13 AM <•Madplatypus> Steve territory?
11:13 AM <•ConShaunnery> Zamabe
11:13 AM <•Madplatypus> Oh I bet that's a joy.
11:13 AM <•ConShaunnery> I can assure you it is
11:17 AM <•Rinsaikeru> That's a word for it
