The Axe

[OldBob53]

How did this start? Why an axe?

You need to use Google and not always start threads asking questions.

Iv'e always started threads asking questions?? You're tracking me? I opened an interesting line of discussion..... what is the axe made of?, how heavy is it?.. is it an inappropriate homage to violence?

 

[UpAndUnder43]

These are still all questions you can google.

If it was good enough for Lizzie Borden's folks, then it's good enough for a Badger.

I thought this was a Paul Bunyan thing. Doesn't Wisconsin have a couple of "imposter" Paul Bunyan statues in the state?

The real one is in Bemidji with Babe.

Go Gophers!

I beg your pardon, the real one is in Akeley.

You are obviously not a Gopher fan--every Gopher fan has personally held the Axe and had a picture taken with it in the last year at least once, most more than once.

I would love to hold the axe in my two hands, to see if the blade be made of steel and sharp... and to know if be Paul Bunyan's legitimate axe or an imposter.

It's time for the mods to give Bob a vacation from his problems.

Sharp enough to chop down Wisconsin's goal posts.

It should also be a tribute to Johnny in 'The Shining'

It's made of wood.

It's made of wood.

Is it a witch?

It's made of wood.

Like 'Old'Bob's head.

'Old'Bob is a middle school kid with too much time on his hands... he hasn't quite worked up the guts to talk to a girl yet.

Who was Paul Bunyan anyway? How did he lose his axe?

 

[GopherVotary]

Who was Paul Bunyan anyway?

He was a tall lumberjack who had a lot of foot trouble.

 

[USAF]

Who was Paul Bunyan anyway? How did he lose his axe?

He was a lumberjack. He worked all night, slept all day. Cut down trees. Put out fires. Went to the lav-a-tree.

 

[Breakin' The Plane]

Paul Bunyan was an annoying dullard who asked stupid questions on a message board.

But I might be thinking of somebody else.

 

[RodentRampage]

Is it a witch?

You could build a bridge out it it.

 

[OldBob53]

So he was a real lumberjack in days of old? What about his blue ox? Who dreamt that one up... a blue ox is just weird.

What did he wear? Did he hang around certain places?

 

[Hotdish]

What did he wear? Did he hang around certain places?

From what I recollect, he wore suspendies. Something else too, but I forget. Also, on Wednesdays he’d go shopping.

 

[OldBob53]

I'll bet he wore Duluth Trading undershorts.

 

[RememberMurray]

Even more confirmation that 'Old' Bob is a young kid; he doesn't get the Python references.
