What kind was it? Framing, Claw, Rock, Chipping, Sledge? I like to think it was a 24 or 32 oz Ball Peen. What do the Teeming Millions think?
I would think War Hammer.
I never thought it was anything else.
All I can say about Grabthar’s Hammer is, “What a savings!”
The exclamation mark is inaccurate.
Fair.
For some reason, I always interpreted it as some sort of symbol of his people, rather than an actual hammer.
Though apparently it was originally intended to be like Thor’s hammer:
Gordon: “By Grabthar’s Hammer” was a temp line. It was basically the Hammer of Thor, but Grabthar just sounded so silly. I kept meaning to change it, but around the production offices, they started to make t-shirts, it started to sink in a little bit.
Are we sure it isn’t a ham-mer? It could just be a giant hamhock
Or a sea of cured pork hindquarters.
I thought it was a philosophical term, sort of like Occam’s Razor. Being Galaxy Quest, I’m pretty sure it means something like, “We come in peace. Shoot to kill.”
I’d kind of thought it was a religious term, like David’s Sling.
I say it’s a deadblow hammer. Those things are so cool. I use mine a lot in woodworking. I think Grabthar must have built some really nice furniture.
I thought it was Grabthar’s junk. You know, his trouser titan.
I always thought it was a Hammer Of The Gods
I always assumed it was some sort of celestial body - a constellation, or a star cluster, or even a comet, a la Niven & Pournelle.
What kind of kickback did he get when someone did buy Grabthar’s hammer, anyway? Must have been a sweet endorsement deal.
That would be Captain Hammer.
It’s a cocktail. Similar to the Screaming Viking, IIRC.
