Did it hurt? Trying to find a way to start this blog?

If you've been online in the past day or so, you understand what I'm getting at here. Memes playing off the phrase "Did it hurt" have taken over the internet. These memes riff on that old, corny pickup line: Did it hurt?...When you fell from heaven?

The memes are however, typically speaking, much better than that old pickup line and pretty varied in their execution. They are some mix of funny and well, kind of painful. Here were a few of our favorites.
