That didn't stop the crafty DIYers though:

And then industrial designers found a sale at Ace Hardware...

The designer of these $350 axes deserves to be punched in the throat but, sadly, I do kinda want one... you know, for all my chopping fabulosity. But I hate myself for it.
I barely step foot in the sunshine but on the rare occasions when I'm outside doing yardwork I've actually broken three shovels. As in the thick wooden handles actually snapped in half under the tremendous power of my meaty arms. I was just doing normal things like digging holes and shit and not playing the "see how long I could beat the shovel against my driveway before it breaks" game. If I bought an axe like this and in an emergency situation such as the zombie apocalypse and I was trying to chop the head off of the dozens of zombies that were coming to eat my brains and the axe broke I think I'd be rather perterbed. I might have to write a saucy letter to the manufacturer and mail them the broken shards packed with my own entrails because OMIGOD MOTHERFUCKIN ZOMBIES JUST ATE MY BRAINS BECAUSE I SHOP IN THE RAINBOW BRITE TOOL DEPARTMENT!!!!!!
I could always just paint some sticks...

But arrows and sticks and dumb tools are all trumped by these:

Great post, Madame. I hope that Santa Claus brings you a painted axe handle for Christmas (first time I've ever expressed that sentiment).
ReplyDeletePainted sticks? People pay money now for painted sticks? Paging Mr. Barnum.
I like the painted axes, too! Maybe I'll go home and paint mine!
ReplyDeleteWhere did those bones come from? Your back yard?
ReplyDeleteDavid - I really hope those sticks are art but then again maybe those axes are supposed to be art too. Who the hell knows anymore??!! I like that you have a lot of firsts at my blog... ha! ; )
ReplyDeleteZrzuce - paint me one too while you're at it!!
Alexandra - nice try. You know I bury my dead far away to throw off the scent! Duh.
