I was impressed with the toughness of the radome. I would have expected it to crunch like a Dixie cup.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

No kidding, but it looks like the "stool" was just barely under the fwd bulkhead. 6 inches farther forward, and I think we would have seen that Dixie cup.

It looks like he landed pretty hard actually.  See how much the pilot bounces around in the cockpit?  Not a criticism, just an observation.

Not harder than usual. See how Royal Navy operates (sorry -ed) them:

Yep! He was practicing the new NOE pile driver attack. Just paint your Harrier to look like a giant goat, and WHAM! That's one less Taliban guy to worry about.  :D
