Big Axe Stick
FOUND by Kaitie in Missoula, Montana
My sister and I found this on our way to a local concert. It was folded in half in the middle of the road. I heard about this website a few weeks ago and have been keeping my eyes peeled since! I'm still not sure what a 'big axe stick' is...
The Captain in Tenille
MISSOULA!!! Woo Hoo!! MY favorite little city on the planet!!

I'm gonna guess that a big axe stick is a deodorant stick from the makes of AXE, dude body spray (bomp chicka wow wow..)

ack.. It's cloying, and smells like A&F.

Good call, Capt. I could only think "big ass stick", whatever that means. And p.u. on the Axe, guys-get a clue.

Does Wallyworld have hoodie vests? Oh boy.

Nope...big axe stick is an axe handle, a long one....i.e. not a hatchet....Frank must have broken his....glad the writer made the notation that it was for Frank....just in case of confusion...

Such a Boy list! "I want an axe and a vest with a hood, and video games"

I love that it specifies that it's all coming from wal-mart

sounds kinda sinister to me...
get the video games to distract the kids, then the new belt so you can muffle the sound...
then the axe stick goes down.
what is rests with hoods???

ashleigh, i think it is vests with hoods.

Come to that, what's a Madden 07'?

I love the 'stars' and 'squiggley' line that emphasizes WAL-MART. Like it's, her favourite and only store to shop!

@ The Man- A vacuum belt is a wee, rubber/vinyl belt that attaches the roller onto your vacuum power head. They tend to break if maintenance isn't kept up on your power head. ie. long hair gets wound around the roller making the tension really tuff, and then they'll snap.

I'm wondering what a Madden '07 is myself?

the Madden is a cartridge for the electronic gaming system... I think football...

the Madden twins are in that band, Good Charlotte. Could it be their cd?

Is a big axe stick, a stick for a big axe? you know how the handle breaks, and you can buy a new one?

Ashleigh, i thought it was rest with a hood too.

Madden '07 is a football video game - they come out with one every year. Named after John Madden - player/coach/announcer extraordinaire.

also, i agree with captain - i think big axe stick is deodorant, not an axe handle. does walmart even carry axes? i don't ever remember seeing one there...

lars in all my forms in the nwc?
you know you've been hanging around the youth of today for too long when you know what all the items on this list are...

lookin at the clouds in the sky
If this list was lost on the way,it's an easy bet whoever lost the list was not happy when s/he got to Walmart and had to try to remember everything without it. Then again, it hardly matters--when have you gone in to a Walmart and bought ONLY the things on your list?

Lizzy B in the Parlor with a broken big axe stick
LOL when I first read this I thought it said "rests with hoods". The big axe stick is for me. I broke it chopping some, er, hard 'wood', yes that's it. I get very very angry when I am chopping 'wood'...The other items are for Mother and Father, who are perfectly fine thank you, why do you ask?

@Holly, once upon a time Wal-Mart used stars as part of their advertising logo. Also once upon a time, Wal-Mart used to buy (and advertise) that they bought as many goods as possible that were made in the U.S.A. During the 90s that all changed. IMO trade deals were made for military secrets and large amounts of money and we now most of their wares come from China.

Thank you to all vets for laying your ass on the line to give us freedom. And a prayer for the souls that have gone before you.

I second Freonz' sentiments. Take a moment, people, to think about our veterans. I'd like to add, a prayer for the souls who will follow you.

rest in ' wit' ma hoods
rests with hoods must be the sequel to dances with wolves. It's about Jason (J-Boy) Dunbar, great great grandson of John Dunbar- he lives in Detrpit, wears G-Unit tees and coats, and chills with his peeps.

Why would any semi-intelligent person call an axe handle an axe stick? (and we can tell the list writer is at least semi intelligent because nearly everything is spelled correctly. I'm giving a pass on the missspelling of vacuum because almost EVERYONE misspells vacuum.

Frank could need both,some big deoderant for chopping that wood with an axe handle..i figure at that point just buy a new axe.

Dear Frank,
Don't believe those stupid AXE commercials. No woman over 17 is going to jump on you if you use AXE. In fact, women probably try to move away from you as quickly as possible because you're triggering their asthma. AXE is worse than Aqua Velva and Old Spice put together. I recommend a shower and some Speed Stick.
Your BFF,

Wasn't it Teddy Roosevelt who said "Speak softly and carry a big axe stick"?
+ May 26, 2008 11:26 AM +
I hope everyone's enjoy in ' their day
I think that was "carry a big-ass stick."

"I have a stick" http://foundmagazine.com/find/579

..Terrie is so Very, do you remember an old commercial: "My men wear English Leather.. or they wear nothing at all!"

What about Jai Karate? I've always loved the smell of Old Spice, but only cuz it reminds me of GrandPa.

@the man behind the curtain in oz, a vacuum belt is something that makes the carpet sweeper part of the vacuum cleaner go around. I have had to buy them from time to time. It's a yucky dirty job to change that belt, too. But very satisfying once done.

(Sorry if someone else already answered that question.)

Hai (Jai?) Karate, Brute, English Leather, British Sterling. There's one more.. I can't think of it. They remind me of junior high school.

Sounds like a mom shopping list then

when I was in high school we used to wear Jovan Musk. We thought it made us that much cooler in our leisure suits.

Church Mouse, my Dad wore Jovan Musk. Boy, that takes me back. Haha!

Ah, the ol' dash through the number 7.
And capitalizing certain letters that don't need captializing.
And making E look like number 3.

Church Mouse and Nightingale, I do remember Jovan Musk Oil. But I thought girls wore it. Didn't we? Maybe there was one for boys and one for girls.

On reflection, I think Brut was spelled without an "e" on the end.

My favorite girl cologne was called Toujours Moi, but I don't remember what it smelled like. And I also liked Kiku, by Fabergé, when I was in 8th grade. I still have some. It's a summer fragrance, in a bright yellow bottle.

Clover, I think there WAS a male and a different female version. I couldn't stand the girl's one, but I loved the one my dad wore.

I remember Woodhue, and my sister liked something like Lemon Up? I think. It was very lemony. I can't imagine that being something you'd want to dab behind your ears now. Haha!

I used to get letters from a long distance crush== and he scented them with British Sterling!! (one for the Where are They Now Gang.)

Anyone remember Love's Baby Soft? It was big in my jr high days.

mona lisa in my sister's bedroom
Love's baby soft was my older sister's perfume, one time i went into her room. I thought it was so pretty, that i sprayed it all over her room. She was not impressed. Smelled pretty, tho. She was in high school, i must have been about 4 or 5.

"Big axe stick"

Axe is a deodorant no?
so i will assume to buy the big format of that "axe" deodorant stick" Or something... no ?
+ May 27, 2008 01:22 PM +
mlm in texas
Love's Baby Soft is a blast from the past! That same company also made something that had "Blue Jeans" in the title, I think. Also, Jean Nate body splash was very popular(gag)with the little, black butterfly (or was it a bee?) on the bottle.

@rest in-I won the spelling bee in the 6th grade with the word "vacuum"! (Not that hard if a 6th-grader can spell it)
