new meme: the tall tales of yumyun hammerpaw

it's like chuck noriss jokes, but about a handsome fluffy cat man instead of a mediocre racist actor.

i'll start with an example—

yumyun hammerpaw doesn't get wet when it rains; the rain gets yumyun hammerpaw

the only thing sharper than yumyun hammerpaw's mighty axe are his fearsome claws, and the only thing sharper than yumyun hammerpaw's fearsome claws are his rugged good looks
i heard yumyun hammerpaw has a third axe hidden in his beard
everyday yumyun hammerpaw eats his weight in flapjacks, and that's just for breakfast!

i heard that yumyun hammerpaw doesn't get hairballs because his stomach is just too powerful!

yeah? well I heard that yumyun hammerpaw can't get fleas because his luscious coat is simply too fluffy!!

when yumyun hammerpaw sharpens his claws on the scratching tree, the scratching tree says "thank you"
yumyun hammerpaw gives the best hugs out of any timbercat in history. this one isn't funny, it's just true.

yumyun hammerpaw got his name by hammering 100 wooden stakes into the ground in under 10 minutes at the annual timbercat games using nothing but his own bare paws when he was barely weaned.

his record stands to this day.

@Sapphicgiraffic YUMYUN STILL GOING. CAN"T STOP HIM
@sori when yumyun hammerpaw finished this mighty feat, he immediately fell asleep and as he slept he snored so mightily that it shook the canopy for forty days and forty nights and when he awoke he had grown a luxurious beard and so hungry was he that yumyun hammerpaw ate ten thousand flapjacks in one sitting
@Sapphicgiraffic The madman!

@sori once there was a great sickness among the timbercats but yumyun hammerpaw was unaffected.

when the sickness was at it's worst, a great storm came with winds that bent even the great scratching tree and rains that threatened to overfill the river and flood the forest. the sick timbercats could not climb to safety, so yumyun hammerpaw took his mighty axe and felled a hundred trees to make a great dam, saving all the timbercats

@Sapphicgiraffic I'm still reading these and loving them but I'm still just smiling at the name "Yumyun Hammerpaw"
i have to make sure @fluxom_alt sees this thread
@Sapphicgiraffic I hear Yumyun once baked more flapjacks than any cat could ever eat. Then ate them anyway.
@fluxom_alt my cousin told me that one time a tornado come through and knocked down a bunch of trees but yumyan hammerpaw gave it the stink eye and it picked the trees up, put em all back, and turned around and left
@Sapphicgiraffic yumyun hammerpaw was once bet that he couldn’t eat 20 lb of steak in an hour. He finished in 15 minutes and spent the rest of the time honing his mighty ax.
@Sapphicgiraffic Yumyum Hammerpaw only makes new axes using his older axes. It is prophesied he will one day travel back in time and gift Himself his first ax...which will be immediately used to make a new one. YUMYUM TAKES NO HAND-OUTS EVEN FROM YUMYUM
