Head Conkings By FlowerpotCarolynn helped Joy with this very important conking project!!! --Joy, Well Monastario ranks two (Ghost of the Mission and Zorro's Romance). Senor Avila in Affair of Honor gets one. Arrellanos get one in the Invitation to Death arc. OH! Zorro cuts one down in the final Eagle episode I think it is! --Carolynn I'm trying to keep track of conkings by flowerpot (or by any kind of pot or vase), but once people started adding all kinds of head injuries by any means whatsoever, they really started to add up! People got conked in the head all the time in Zorro, it seems. It could run into hundreds if you include every time anyone was conked in the head by any kind of object in the entire series. So I'm still sticking with flowerpot-conkings for the time being and making a note of which episode they were in. --Joy
