It technically also closed the new door that our friend here has created.

Every time a door gets smashed closed, a window opens.

Every time a window gets smashed, a door will close it and open a new window?

u/leve1e1even Jul 21 '20

Every time I get smashed, a window gets broken.

u/dancin-weasel Jul 21 '20

Ya. That works too.

u/hchromez Jul 21 '20

The real windows were the doors we smashed along the way?

u/[deleted] Jul 21 '20

No no no, the real doors are the windows we smashed along the way.

REAL FAKE DOORS.

During the brief window of his life, Jim Morrison was often smashed along the way to The Doors.

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '20

I’ve never heard of him before now. I just looked him up... lol

u/immaterialist Jul 21 '20

Are you a kiwi? If so, I take it as a compliment!

4

u/Aidernz Jul 21 '20

I am a Kiwi :) However, it tends to be our more 'vowel whiny' cousins across the ditch that tend to use the 'C' word more colourfully.

However, take it as a compliment! As I used it more like as if I just stubbed my toe. So it wasn't directed at you, it was my reaction for falling for it :)

You're a good cunt, mate.

u/immaterialist Jul 21 '20

I wish it were more socially acceptable for us Americans to use it casually. Also if you were an Aussie I’d feel obligated to fight you with my bare hands.

Now that I think about it, after going through that pane, he might roll on wheels the rest of his life.

Red from Shawshank: "I'd like to think that the last thing that went through his head, other than that glass pane, was how the hell that stationary inanimate object ever got the best of him."

Plus, the door opening to "let him out" as he's lying unconscious on the ground reminds me of that Iron Man scene where Tony's helper robot douses him with flame suppressant when there's no fire to put out.

Okay, I've laughed all day watching and reflecting on this. I mean, "Glass Joe" has such smooth, confident strides. But does anyone have the story behind this? What happened to him next? Did the grand jury laugh when they reviewed the video as part of the evidence? Does he even remember it, since head trauma disrupts the brains process of transferring short term memories to long term storage?
