1) I am far too old and lame to swing an ax that hard.
2) If I DID swing an ax as sharp as those anywhere near that hard, I would kill myself and everyone else within a 300 ft. radius.

That's a Top Gear / Grand Tour worthy pose (shorts and the beer glass)...

Also still not sure how I invited you to dinner, but you paid. Must have been some slimey lawyer speak I didn't understand!

I knew a couple guys in college who were competitive woodsmen (what can I say, it was New Hampshire). I can tell you this ... when you walk into a dorm room and see a guy sharpening an axe, your best course of action is to back away slowly.

True story: I see my friend sharpening an axe. I ask, “isn’t that axe a little short for a guy your height?” He laughs and points to a longer axe sitting in the corner. Then he says, “that’s my chopping axe. This one here, this is my throwing axe.”

Drove my little clown car to a DE last weekend. The car on the right is a Boxster. The Spitfire garnered quite a bit of attention.
