Firstly, Rupe thinks he mayhap have deserved it. He is, afterall, color coordinated with them spikes …..
Hurled so hard he lost his right shoe?
Hurled by whom? And for what, if any, infraction?
Are you certain he was “hurled”? Could this be a random holiday suicide?
He doesn’t appear too put out by the hurlment, does he?
Spikes …….. or pikes?!? *yeesh, them’re big*
Rupe’ll forego the remainder of the questions and will wait patiently instead for the answers to the above …..
Not zactly a holiday themed piece, now, is it? Or maybe Rupe’s wrong and it is. The answers will reveal …..

Rupe,
They’re golden holiday spikes. I don’t believe he is acting of his own volition, as he does not seem in the proper position to suggest a willful act. Unless, perhaps, it is some variation on the Fosbury Flop.
The human psyche is a black box, and I therefore cannot comment on the state of mind of this poor fellow, except to say that fate, in one form or another, awaits for us all, and he may have made his peace with that, hence his expression.
By whom? Does it matter? For what reason? Have not all of us, our reasons?
As for his shoe, I have no explanation save a deficiency in skill on the part of the artist.

Number 1966 - Killed by rejected shoe from the person you just hurled onto spikes…

Rejected shoes don’t kill you.
They might not return your phone calls, but that’s about the extent of it.
