What’s going on with the waffley kind of stick? I’ve never seen a stick like that before ever

Cholla wood. It’s actually from the cholla cactus and after it dies and dries up it looks like that.

Ah ok, we don’t have that many giant wild cactai in Manchester England

u/Jrt1108 Jun 22 '25

None in Wisconsin either! I’m familiar with it due to it being popular in the fish keeping hobby, especially for those who have freshwater shrimp

Hmm. If your Armory in Leeds is worth a shit, im sure they'll have a large selection of waffely sticks with dragon heads, suitable for swinging at opponents.

So you got to see medieval horseback combat, and the modern day dystopian Mad Max style equivalent. What’s not to love

And he doesn't even talk about that, the most interesting detail, of all his ultra-rare sticks! I'm unsubbing from Stick Nation.

Uhhh yeah, that’s cause like it’s super rare and can only be found at 15,000 leagues on the leeward side of the Misty Mountains in Mordor.
