The single greatest piece of dialogue in Savage Sword Of Conan v.5:
I dare you* to say that at work tomorrow.
*: Dare not valid if you work at the Renaissance Faire.

SAMANTHA BROWN! YOU HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE! YOUR BODKIN IS ENVENOMED!!
Annnnd we can pretty much close the comments section there.
If your bodkin is envenomed put a ring on it
If your venom was bebodkin’d put a ring on it
You little fool don’t be venomed by that bodkin
If your bodkin is envenomed put a ring on it

victory: knowles. and you can suck it, sims. you’re slower than artie simek at a slow dumb son of a bitch convention.
Seconded. The comments are closed. All hail the king of comments!
Chris, ignore Beyoncé — she hasn’t been the same since Herbie Popnecker said “No kiss.” And Beyoncé, your envenomed bodkin is in the box to the left, to the left.
I suppose I’d earn no points for originality if I said,
EVACUATE THIS BODKIN! I’M GOING TO ENVENOM IT!
Oh, great. Guess what they’ll be selling in the Previews merchandise section next month.
Judging by that guy’s expression, he pretty much knows it’s the best line ever too.
Bravo, Tim. Bravo.
How do you envenom a bodkin?
Dare accepted.
The weird looks were worth it.
That HAS to be some of Roy Thomas’s purple dialogue. No one could out-bodkin Thomas.
How did “bodkin” lose to “dagger” in the race to the vernacular? I smell a fix.
“Dagger” sounds aggressive. “Bodkin” sounds like you’re threatening someone with a hobbit.
“Isn’t that just like a Wop? Brings a bodkin to a gun fight.”
Well then, let’s ask:
art thou but/
A bodkin of the mind, a false creation/
Proceeding from the heat-envenomèd brain?
Yes. Yes, you are.
We have to envenom this bodkin from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
Just guessing…
Mr. Happy here is NOT impervious to the un-envenomed great big freaking Sword of Conan?
Isn’t an “envenomed bodkin” just a euphemism for “penis with an S.T.D.”?
That’s what I heard on the street, man.
~P~
If this were an audio clip, someone in this thread would’ve mixed it to a dance beat by now.
Done and done! My students looked at me like I was a loon but then again that’s the normal state of affairs in my classroom.
On a side none of them knew what a bodkin was and I made them look it up. Some didn’t know what envenomed meant and I told THEM they had extra homework.
“Bodkin” is a diminutive (a little piercing thing used in shirtmaking), so my guess is he’s trying to make the threatening offscreen presence feel lame about his, uh, equipment.
I wonder if his carriage has a bumper sticker that reads KNOW THOU THIS, THAT I BE A CHICK MAGNET.
“How do you envenom a bodkin?”
pretty easily, given that its a nice
its what Hamlet threatens to kill himself with – a ‘bare bodkin’
I’m no expert in Hyborian Age smack talk, but its possible the guy means the bodkin style of arrowhead, rather than the shirt making implement.
Chris, please post this guys fate? Does he get himself decapitated? Cause I’m not taking up the dare if that’s the risk I face.
Coincidentally, I DO work at a Renaissance Faire, and guess what? I really WAS impervious to his envenomed bodkin!
Okay I was kidding. I’m actually in deep pain right now, and the wound is starting to smell of ginger root and goat’s butter.
Too tired for a proper comment, but:
More Depression-era anthropomorphic cats
I use a bodkin in my fashion design dressmaking business while sewing. it’s a handy little tool that I’m always using to assist in drawing elastics and strings through narrow casings. It’s also handy when making rolled bias tubes. I’ve never once thought about envenomating it. That’s a good idea. Then when a crabby hard to please customer starts giving me a hard time I can threaten her with my envenomed bodkin. Thanks for the great idea!
