Sometime late in December of last year, Garid and I somehow came up with the idea that it would be hilarious if we gave Brenda a battle axe. Here is that story, complete with pictures and everything. Click below!![]() Cute, I know. Now, picture little Brenda with a giant battle axe not unlike this one. ![]() Actually it's pretty much exactly like this one. I went looking on eBay for a battle axe and found the excellent specimen pictured above. I quickly bid on it and told Garid, who agreed that it would be great for Brenda. Sometime in the next few days, I told Grace and Carolyn about the Plan and they loved it. The auction ended on December 22nd, and hey, I won! Now I had to wait for them to ship it to me, which would be sometime in the next week or so. The axe finally arrived on a Wednesday afternoon right as my mother and I were about to leave to go somewhere. She asked me what was in the giant box and I casually remarked, "Oh, just something I bought on eBay." Of course, she wouldn't take that for an answer..she just had to see what it was. I took a boxcutter and sliced open the box to reveal another, smaller box. As I pulled the smaller box out of the first one, mother exclaimed, "Oh, Nancy! Why did you buy that?" I was confused at first because I didn't know that she knew what it was from the box alone, but then I realized that there was a picture of the axe on the outside of the box. I pulled the axe out of the box and handed it to my mother to examine. She felt the metal edge and gasped, "Oh, Nancy! It's real! I thought it was plastic! Oh my!" Of course it's real, mother, I wouldn't settle for a cheap imitation. By then we were late for wherever we were going, so I put the axe back in the box and we left. For a long time, there wasn't a day that worked for all five of us (Brenda, Grace, Carolyn, Garid, and myself) to get together, so the axe sat in my room for a good amount of time. Then finally, the day arrived. January 8th, 2005. I drove over to Grace's house in the rain a little before 1:00. ![]() It wasn't raining this hard while I was driving, but it was still coming down steadily. I was the first to arrive and Carolyn came soon after. ![]() Garid was supposed to come, but he decided that he "didn't feel like it." Well, fine. ![]() Grace decided that it would be a good idea to wrap the axe up in this pretty, flowery paper. ![]() She went a little crazy with the tape, but she did better than I would have. ![]() Carolyn watched for a while. ![]() She finally decided to help out Grace. ![]() Now that's just cute. ![]() Grace put the finishing touches on the package and we waited eagerly for Brenda to arrive. ![]() Finally, she came! We made her wear these beads to add to her ensemble. Naturally, she wanted to know what the pretty, pink package on the floor was. ![]() "Why Brenda, that's for you!" "Yeah, we got you a Christmas present..hope you like it!" "Uh..thanks guys!" ![]() And the opening commences. ![]() Yes, a box! Awesome! ![]() "All that tape made me angry, but I don't know how to make an angry face so I'll just smile." ![]() Silly tape, jeez. ![]() So I like to take pictures okay. ![]() Some of the axe is revealed! ![]() If I remember correctly, Brenda was both amused and confused at the same time. I can't imagine why. ![]() Heck yes. I have been looking forward to this for weeks, honestly. ![]() "Arr! I am mighty Brenda! Fear me!" ![]() Okay, maybe that's enough..for now. ![]() Back in the box it goes! ![]() What's this? Carolyn wants to play with the battle axe? ![]() I think she wants it..too bad, it's Brenda's! It fits her better anyway. ![]() Oh, this is attractive. ![]() Here Grace attempts to look intimidating. Not working. ![]() Take a look at her grip. Can't get much swing out of that, now can you? ![]() That's much better! ![]() The weight of the axe is too much to bear..better give it back to Brenda. ![]() Holy crap this is scary. But the picture below is even more terrifying. ![]() Okay imagine this coming towards you on a dark street in the middle of the night. Jesus. The novelty of the axe began to wear off, so Grace attempted to entertain us by dancing. I suppose it was entertaining..everyone was laughing, so it must have been! Though I believe we were mostly laughing at the absurdity of Grace's "moves." It happens. ![]() Shake it. ![]() I don't even know. ![]() Bwahahaha. This is sexy, seriously. ![]() "I think I can do that ballerina thing! Watch!" Right after I took this, she fell over. Too bad I missed it. ![]() Yeah, so right now Brenda's the coolest person ever in my book. Rock it. The Brenda Battle Axe Plan was a complete success in my eyes. I wonder what her mother is going to say..I guess I'll find out on Monday! Hope everyone enjoyed. Oh, and yes, there were no pictures of me at all. That's because I prefer being behind the camera rather than in front of it. However, Carolyn stole the camera later on in the day when we were having a card table building contest and managed to snap one of me. Jerk. I shall leave you all with that. Farewell! ![]() Stupid cards. |
