This is why furniture stores almost never have thrones.

Victor and I discussing Game of Thrones (or as I call it, “Wait, who is that again? Who’s that guy?  WHO ARE THOSE PEOPLE?  WHAT IS HAPPENING?“):

me:  I don’t even understand why everyone is fighting for that knifey throne.  It looks bad-ass but it bet it’s incredibly uncomfortable.  If I were a King I’d sit in a hammock.

Victor:  That doesn’t quite establish fear like a throne made of hundreds of swords.

me:  I wouldn’t be afraid of a King who was sitting in a chair made of swords.  I’d think that he used up most of his swords making furniture.  But if I was a King sitting in a hammock then invading armies would be like, “Is that King in a hammock?  Where are all the swords that most Kings melt down to make into ottomans and shit?  This is weird.  Let’s run away quickly.”

Victor:  “Game of Hammocks.”  Doesn’t have quite the same ring to it.

me:  It’d be one of those hammocks that have fringe on the bottom, but the fringe would be made out of the fingers of my enemies.

Victor:  Not imposing enough. me:  Hmm.  The fingers and penises of my enemies. Victor:  Closer.  But still not enough.

me:  Fine.  Then I guess I’d make a knifey chair like the Game of Thrones one.  But I’d also want it to be a recliner.  And to have a massage feature.  Although I suspect that would probably just massage the blades into your body, now that I think about it.

Victor:  Like a Lazy-Boy made of electric carving knives. me:  Fuck it.  I don’t want to be King anymore.  I really just want a hammock.

Victor:  Well, I’m glad we settled that.

me:  I have simple tastes.  Penis fringe optional.

i suspect Ned Stark was carrying this sword less for protection and more to use as a cane to lean on rather than rest his weight on the Throne of Tetanus. Even the crow looks concerned. Or maybe he’s hungry.  Aren’t crows carnivorous?   That throne is  like a pointy bird feeder for crows.

PS.  Go back up and click on that Game of Thrones link on the top.  You’ll thank me.  Probably.
