a compliment, I think

I used to be pretty handy with an ax(e)
Then I had a mastectomy which ruined my swing ;
so I taught the SO about swing and grain and all the usual Secret Wisdom and he does all the firewood now. He got real into it and is our kibbutz chain-saw expert as well now
DS #1 we started to train with a tomahawk to do the kindling when he was 12 or 13 and then at about 16 he graduated to The Big Ax(e). Little DS just started last winter. I bought him a brand new tomahawk and wrote his name on the handle. He loves it

A "friend" told me right before I married DH that DH is an axe murderer. No problem, I just keep the axes away from him. He hasn't murdered a one since we've been married.

It's all true!

What do all these people have against axes? Why do people want to murder them? What has that ax ever done to you? Most axes I know are useful and pretty quiet when not in use.

Imagine mounting an ax to your top tube instead of a pump. Do ya think you'd finally get some respect in traffic?

I find a sawed off shotgun slung across my back does the trick......

And a handlebar mounted Gatling gun REALLY clears traffic out of the way

See!!!

Excellent! Makes riding the "mean streets" of Oakland a pleasure, eh?

Lol. Whew. Glad you're keeping an eye on him. I noticed StuffMart was clean out of anti-axe murderer spray.

Hmmm... have there even been any "axe-murderer" movies? GOsh, this is probably a piece of culture that's slipped by. When I took my pool operators' license test we had to list 8 reasons to close a pool and I was stuck, so I said "axe-murderers or any other unforeseen but unsafe circumstances." It was marked right - but when I got my postcard to tell me to go pick up my license, the grader penciled "axe-murderers?" on the postcard... which may have unsettled the post-person...

Can I join you? I love mushy interludes. You know how much I revel in the friendships from this forum. Can you see the little hearts blinking over the "i" in each word?

[jobob]

Sure, but if someone suggests holding hands and singing Kumbaya I'm outa here.

Well, there's "So I Married An Axe Murderer", with the ever-hilarious Mike Myers.

I like the gun mount myself. Think it would help in a triathlon?

One of my favoritest movies when I need a laugh. I think it was one of his first movies, wasn't it? For the uninitiated, especially those in San Francisco, rent this movie. Don't expect high art or anything, though...

You gotta love a thread that can go from ax murderers to Kumbaya and mushy interludes and back again!
