Koohii stories:

1) [fuaburisu] 18-10-2005(178): "Mister T substitutes an arrow for a toothpick" – The keyword meaning is to replace something with something else, to act for another, to represent. It's best to stick to the first meaning, because the last two are very close to "mediator" which will come in frame 1761. The idea here is that the arrow is not a toothpick, neither it is changed into one, but it can substitute for one.

2) [bkvogel] 31-7-2008(60): Mr. T shot the substitute teacher with an arrow.

3) [laner36] 9-9-2007(31): The gym teacher asks Mr. T to substitute for him on the day the kids will be shooting arrows for archery class. Imagine going home and telling your friends "dude! Mr T was my sub today! I hope my teacher gets hit with an arrowhead and never comes back!". (thanks dihutenosa).

4) [Ricardo] 18-9-2006(15): [substitute; change; convert; replace; period; age; counter for decades of ages, eras, etc.; generation; charge; rate; fee] A stuntman is a person working as substitute for the main actor in the scene when he is shot by an arrow.

5) [Ellen] 5-4-2010(7): I immediately thought of substitute in a footballing sense, and this video came to mind: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jUzIxnbkpI. Imagine Mr. T in Segata Sanshiro's position and you have Mr. T throwing a substitute player like an arrow.
