hammer time

Geek

In other news, I now own a hammer; a Stanley Professional 51-424. It is the good sort, a solid "genuine hickory" handle and a 680g head with curved claw. I would have preferred a rip claw, but for reasons of aesthetics more than anything else.

So, now I can start seeing every problem as a nail. Dirty dishes, you time has come...

Dude, I can't find your model on the Stanley website. If it's been discontinued, won't that make it harder to get tech support?

I think that was just a North-American-centric website. I'm still looking for the Australian one. I'll let you know as soon as I find it.

IF I HAD A HAMMER
I'D WAKE UP MY NEIGHBORS
POUNDING OUT A RHYTHM
ALL ABOUT YOU
IF I HAD A PENCIL
I'D PUSH ME SOME PAPER
I'D BUILD A SKYSCRAPER
TO GET CLOSE TO YOU
IF I HAD A LASSO
I'D SAIL OUT THE WINDOW
AND LAND ON AN ISLAND
NEXT TO YOU
IF I HAD A HOT ROD
I'D FASTEN UP MY SEATBELT
AND BREAK THE SPEED LIMIT
GETTIN' TO YOU
BUT I AIN'T GOT A HAMMER
AND I AIN'T GOT A PENCIL
AND I AIN'T GOT A LASSO
SO I'M DOING IT THE HARD WAY
LIKE A POST POST-MODERN MAN

why didn't you get a papal silver hammer instead?

Now you know when you talk about the Hammer
You talk about a show that's hyped and tight
Singers are sweatin' so pass them a wipe
Or a tape to learn what it's gonna take
in the 90's to burn
The charts legit either work hard
Or you might as well quit
That's word because you know
Can't touch this (oh-oh oh oh-oh-oh)
Can't touch this (oh-oh oh oh-oh-oh)
Break it down
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh)
Stop Hammer time

I want to be your sledgehammer
Why don’t you call my name
Oh let me be your sledgehammer
This will be my testimony
Show me round your fruitcage
’cos I will be your honey bee
Open up your fruitcage
Where the fruit is as sweet as can be

Joan was quizzical
Studied pataphysical science in the home
Late nights all alone with a test tube oh, oh-oh-oh

Maxwell Edison, majoring in medicine
Calls her on the phone
Can I take you out to the pictures, Jo-o-o-oan?

But as she's getting ready to go
A knock comes on the door

Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer
came down upon her head
Clang! Clang! Maxwell's silver hammer
made sure that she was dead

Surely that is not the best we can do?

If I had a hammer
I'd hammer in the morning
I'd hammer in the evening
All over this land
I'd hammer out danger
I'd hammer out a warning
I'd hammer out love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land

Oh please don't send me out
Said the man with the hammer, hammering the anvil
I been walking on a road of rocks
And I keep on hammering, keep on hammering, keep on hammering,
Hammering the anvil

Don't let the sun go down
Said the man with the fire, firing the furnace
I been buried in the snow
And I keep on firing, keep on firing, keep on firing,
Firing the furnace

Oh don't talk to me
Said the man with the chisel, chiseling the surface
I been sleeping far too long
And I keep on chiseling, keep on chiseling, keep on chiseling,
Chiseling the surface

I don't know what you mean
Said the man with the shovel, shoveling the ashes
I been digging in the frozen ground
And I keep on shoveling, keep on shoveling, keep on shoveling,
Shoveling the ashes

Shoveling the ashes
Chiseling the surface
Firing the furnace
Hammering the anvil

If I were a carpenter
and you were a lady,
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?
(not about hammers, but carpenters often have hammers. Probably Stanley Professional 51-424s. Hey, have you swapped the curved claw for a straight claw yet?
