whatever man::
This post is absolutely not what I planned it to be, which is why it has nothing to do with its title. It was supposed to be some science-related thought experiments. But, well, Hammer had some other ideas. In other news, I just bought a light bulb for cheap.
I haven't really been creatively inspired for the past half a year or so. It comes and goes in waves. Whatever. This entry was dumb, don't read it. If you read it, rate it "Wack."
It's an interesting question just how anthropomorphic Hammer and Anvil are, but it's simple. They are precisely as anthropomorphic as I care to make them or not make them. Today, Anvil has a shin, so that Cletus can come and kick it. But Anvil still identifies himself as an anvil where appropriate.
2/02/09 edit: People are consistently nonplussed by the end to the dialogue, where Anvil reveals that he has pre-emptively stolen Hammer's wallet. There's a reason I had that happen. Several, actually.
Anvil is not interested in an infinite Spy vs. Spy regress of who will outsmart whom. Anvil is not any more interested in being kicked in the shin by Cletus. Anvil decided to steal Hammer's wallet while they were speaking, in what was hopefully a show of overwhelming superiority, so that the entire chain of events described would not have to go through the pointless tedium of actually coming to pass. This brings me to my next point, which is simple, and is hopefully a fairly obvious running theme in this weblog:
If you put Hammer versus Anvil, Anvil will win every time.
It is Anvil's style to win in a game-changing fashion. The way Anvil plays, Anvil could lose and still win.
It is, however, Hammer's style not to realize that, or take it seriously, until it's shown to him again.
