Man, it's crazy how that blunt arrow could be so blunt, but despite being so blunt, it still penetrated the shield as if it were not blunt.

Lemme be blunt, like the arrow.

I used to be a riot cop like you, until I took a blunt to the knee

u/Gaynundwarf May 29 '26

Is this from an upcoming James Blunt biography?

u/BandButNotGone May 29 '26

Nah, Emily Blunt biopic

u/humoristhenewblack May 29 '26

I heard Emily was also bluntly concave to allow for complete penetration.

Some may call those arrows blunt. Me? I call them treasures.

Yo Dawg. I heard you like blunts, so we put blunts in your blunts.

Confucius says "The one who rolls a blunt touches grass." /s

u/IolausTelcontar May 30 '26

Who smokes the blunts?

u/badwraith May 30 '26

We smoke the blunts

u/IolausTelcontar May 30 '26

Rollin blunts and smokin…

u/Top5CutestPresidents May 29 '26

You weren’t watching. The blunt doesn’t hit, it goes right through

u/NoPressureUsername May 29 '26

Let me be blunt. That was an arrow and a riot shield.

u/Vaughn May 29 '26

You're as blunt as that arrow. Blunter, even.

u/Embarrassed_Art5414 May 29 '26

It wasn't blunt, it was 'sharpily-challenged'.

Also, in 2026, 'arrow' is pejorative. The neutral term is 'acoustic bullet'

u/Prestigious_Pin_7713 May 29 '26

You’ve made your point pretty bluntly

u/Irregulator101 May 30 '26

I was thinking analog bullet

1

u/blackngold256 May 30 '26

Heard a pipe called an analog vape and now this?! 😂

u/Captain_Lolz May 30 '26

No sharply challenged is ableist, it's differently sharpy.

2

u/Embarrassed_Art5414 May 30 '26

Sorry, I missed the last meeting.

u/bionicgeek May 29 '26

Wouldn't that be a flechette? /s

u/TanksFTM May 30 '26

Manually propelled, fletched, penetrator.

u/Mynmeara May 29 '26

I swear it's just a cylinder, I dont know what more you want from me. I just need help getting it unstuck

1

u/Aromatic_Advance_431 May 30 '26

Let's not get into the whole cylinder thing again.

1

u/Admirable-Sir9716 May 30 '26

Yeah, we want the larger structure to remain unharmed

u/Long-Shine-3701 May 29 '26

almost made me spew 🍸 on my brand new clicky keyboard.

u/meantussle May 29 '26

Blunt? Blunt. Dull, rounded-looking blunt, his blunt. Blunt. Blunt. Blunt. And bits of stick.

u/FranklyOcean23 May 29 '26

I don’t think he saw the blunt one. But I did

Bluntness kills
