Mighty... actually, a bit of both!
Turgid: Excessively ornate or complex in style or language; grandiloquent 2. Swollen or distended, as from a fluid;
Tumescence: The quality or state of being tumescent or swollen. Tumescence usually refers to the normal engorgement with blood (vascular congestion) of the erectile tissues, marking sexual excitation and possible readiness.

Better hold a few back. This run has had a few issues.
Rock!...oopsie, that is ridiculous.
Talk about having no retail credibility going down your route.
I don't need any reminder NOT to buy anything from you but I have plenty of cars and beach property to sell to you.
While I agree with the sentiment above about holding back a few "in case of returns" I'd like to point out that I don't think the crew putting this together have an actual obligation to replace a returned hammer. I may be wrong, but I don't see any mention of a warranty anywhere. When I oredered mine I kinda figured it was like the used car salesman says when asked about warranty: "Once you drive it off the lot, if it breaks in half, I guarantee you own both halves."
That said, I kinda suspect the guys running this operation are of pretty high moral fiber and will handle things in a manner that will satisfy most (we've seen already that it's laughable to try to satisfy all).

Yep fatty,
That's exactly right... except they'd never hear from me on a warranty claim. They ain't Fish (except the sling... if that f'n sling breaks you can bet I'm gonna whine like a little girl to Russ) and they sure ain't REI so that line is irrelevant. These guys took a risk out of pocket and their own time to try to do something cool for the community. I see them busting ass to fulfill our iron pounding desires, and that's all the warranty I require.

Hmmm. Don't know what community you bought yours from. I bought mine from a business:
http://www.shop.vershke.com/main.sc
A business I happen to like a lot and have ordered from several times without problems (same with Fish) and having said that I hold any business to a certain standard. If I pay money for something, especially from REI, and it turns out to be defective I expect to come to a reasonable refund or replacement agreement.
But my card hasn't been charged yet so technically I'm not a customer yet just a website-order-placer-guy.

Ordered. And... Do I know you? Do you know me? Have you read my posts? Certainly not whining. Only pointing out a fact about business. The charge wasn't on the bill I received yesterday; I'll send it to you for proof if you pay it! Thanks
Customer service is cool.
And people on this here internet can be rude!

Groundup... Just so there is no confusion, can you PM me the order number/date/real name so I can verify all was cool with the order.
Better safe than sorry.

So what your're saying is, if I don't shut up you'll crush my nuts???
Not necessarily---unless that's your thing.
I just noticed you keep saying that as soon as your hammer shows up you'll be nailin' the Nutcracker. Just wanted to post some proof that grandma already did the FA on that action...

It IS all cool. I've already talked to you guys a while ago. I love your hard work, you're swell guys, and you make me feel special. I'm not complaining, I just thought it funny where this thread was going. I don't want to be lumped in with the lawsuit guy on the other thread.
checked the card website, the charge missed the bill by one day. we're square.

You're all trippin' way to much on this. It's a custum novelty piece. You want a f*#king warranty??? Gimme a break! It's a faith purchase. Theron, who is a skilled man, put his heart and soul into this to please the 'community', and I'm sure, himself.
He did well. Quit f*#king belly-aching about the details!!!!
Sheesh!

"Use with Wild Abandon"
I would believe that John Middendorf would be appalled if his hammers were just sitting on a shelf or hidden in a box.

WTF? It is a third run copy.

I plan on using mine with wild abandon. That's my picture hanging method, too, BTW.
Know a good drywall guy? ;-)
