then I took an arrow to the knee 

to plan on doing something, having done something, or did something, only to get shot in the knee by an arrow.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim's version of Stop right there criminal scum!

1. I used to be an adventurer like you. Then I took an arrow to the knee.

2. I used to have severe acne. Then I took an arrow to the knee.

Took an Arrow in the Knee 

“I Took an Arrow in the Knee” is a catchphrase from the role-playing video game The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim which inspired the snowclone phrasal template “I used to X, then I took an arrow to the knee.”

In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, the town guard non-player characters (NPCs) repeated “I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow in the knee.” when the player walks near them.

The restating of such a specific story over and over again by so many different guards caused it to be noticed by players, who then proceeded to post about it in gaming forums and image boards.

I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow in the knee.

I used to give a fuck, then I took an arrow in the knee.

straight arrow 

A person who doesn't use alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, or other drugs. Can also be used to refer to somebody who doesn't party, cuss, stay out late, or engage in other risky activities.

That dude is such a straight arrow; all he does is drink water and read the Bible.

McAvoy Arrow of Sexual Energy

A delightfully debilitating experience that James McAvoy fans (or others) feel when the actor knows that he's sending off "hotness" signals and can control it. Often abbreviated as "MASE" and used to describe a specific kind of "attack."

Did you see James in those tight jeans at his latest premiere? I feel a serious McAvoy Arrow of Sexual Energy (MASE) attack coming on!

I took an arrow to the knee 

Catch phrase from the game 'The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim' in which the guards have a repeating phrase throughout the game. Sparked an internet meme, including much fan art and responses from other existing memes.
