That's because you are not gardening in Japan.

I actually found this to come in mighty handy working in the yard in virtually every season

And it has the added benefit of terrifying the neighbors too...sadly, after years of use and abuse...mine broke...now I need to get a new one

Those always struck me as awkward....jack of all trades...master of none.

Nice little handy hatchet...good for cutting some of the roots in those stupid bushes the previous owner put all over my property... it also occasionally doubles as a hammer.....

Nice little handy hatchet.... that occasionally doubles as a hammer.....

And it only cost $2.15 !!!

They can if you get a cheaper one... a good one goes for about $15...but I will admit....it was a gift I was given and it took me a few years to figure out what it was good for

I just read the price tag on yours.
Tools of that quality...I just give'm away.

Need a hatchet and a hammer?
A carpenter's hatchet is better.

That was not mine, that was a picture of one on the internet, could not find a picture of the one I had. I had it for over 15 years and used it pretty hard for the last 6 broke it last winter

It is a neat little tool, I will however not go out of my way to replace it, my Hudson bay hatchet does a better job.... and scares the neighbors just a much.... the only advantage of the box hatchet is that it was a little smaller and costs a little less so abusing it did not concern me as much....and it took 6 years of abuse

I prefer this kind of weeding

I'm hungry.

I'm bored.....

I think my ex has made it a goal to avoid me. She's allegedly asked about me (as others have told me), but when I try to message her she doesn't really reply, and last night when I told her I found her birth certificate she said we'd get together today and I could meet her daughter but she's not given me a time or place or anything.

Fill this baby with Roundup Kwikpro,
& I gots my favorite weed killer....

These ignoramus telemarketers, they never seem to get the idea when I speak to them in English. So I decided to give German a try. If they call again, I will ask them what languages they understand because I've tried to now and they are still calling, thinking me dumb enough to fall for their obvious lies.

I just realized, I'm going to get to be one of the professional wankers who has two cell phones/numbers.

They will never stop calling no matter what you do.

That's interesting. I think the next one that calls I may use it for practice as a pseudo-interrogation of sorts. It'll go along well with the recent studies I've been doing of revolutions, war tactics, and politics I'm doing for my larp character to sway power structure and rearrange things in town.

In realizing I wasn't acting as myself during my job, I feel that although I was hired for the job, it was my Machiavellian-minded larp character is the one who got the job. Much how it's never the actor playing Hamlet who kills Claudius, but Hamlet who kills Claudius.

I think it is weird that sometimes when I share a new and different idea people think I must have heard it from someone else. I am happy to say that I think it is funny. The reason why I think that it is funny is because someone (please notice the word one) must have thought it up at first, but not necessarily before me. How does that make sense anyway? <That is a real question.
I shall not take offense at the insinuation.

I'll be away today. Aren't you glad?

I've posted my favorite scam baiting episode before....

Sales types will call random offices saying they're our copier supplier.
(They're not.)
(They want to trick some gal into buying over-priced crap she doesn't need.)
They want to update their records of our equipment.
This involves a lot of my putting them on hold....taking time to pretend
to look up brands & model numbers...& then telling them the info.

My copier is a Fordson
(Tis a 1920ish Ford tractor brand. "Ford" was already used by another tractor company.)
It's a model# Sector 7G
(This is Homer Simpson's department in the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant.)

The scammer's unfamiliarity with my copier brand & model involves a lot of back & forth.
My goals: Be as convincing as possible. Keep them on the line as long as possible.
Of course, co-workers get to listen in on it all.
