I agree that it must be very painful for both nails and hammers to be forced to hit each other all day. It's like they are being manipulated into a war they don't wish to. Very sad.

You're welcome, my friend.
I'm trying to work out who has the worst deal, the hammer or the nail.
The nail gets hit VERY hard on his head, and shoved somewhere uncomfortable like a plank of wood and expected to hold things together, yet after it's done, he can rest and relax.
The hammer hits the nail but doesn't feel it so much, yet gets grabbed round the leg and swung in the air, sworn at, and although a nail, once it's in, can relax and know it's not going to get hammered again, the hammer is used day after day without rest.

My brother's nick name from his Rugby days is Nails, as in 'hard as...' So I suppose to support one of the best little full backs I know sign me up too.

Yay!! !!!!! *8* members!! Wooohhooooo!!!!!! *jumps around happily*
Thank you thank you thank you thank you!!
Yeah... I'd better write something to that effect on the page... I wonder who does get the worst deal? I suspect it's the Hammers, as it is their head that is getting hit as well, just more repeatedly than the Nails's heads. But the Nails get rusty and may also get hit on their legs to either turn them over or get them out again... Imagine getting your leg hammered like that into a right-angled bend. Ooooo. Who ~does~ get the worst deal?

We could ask them, or set up a forum to debate that... wait, I will do that! It might get more people to stick around... maybe.

Hi there!
Please sign me up also
I thought at first that this was about fingernails being hit very hard by hammers! Don't you just hate it when that happens?
Maybe you should include them in your campaign! Us ladies go to great extremes to save our nails.

Oh *looks at Schlonz in surprise* hello! How nice of you to ~drop~ in!! (ha ha, what a crap joke...)
I'm glad you're joining, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to refer to you as 'schlonz' in the dropdown list, as 'schlonz the evil dimensionhopping penguin' just ~ain't~ going to fit...
Sorry!!
OK, urm, it wasn't the bonbons that caused your present loss of mind, there is nothing wrong with them, I ate some myself...
And I'm fine!
But maybe I'm just strange...
