VIKING CHRISTMAS POEM!
Taken from: http://www.dagorhir.com/forums/index.php?topic=8075.0 which quoted: http://www.tirrigh.org/newsletter/as36/67.html
'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the Hall
Not a creature was stirring, not warrior nor thrall.
And I in my armor, my shield and my helm
Was drunker than anyone else in the Realm.
I staggered upstairs and fell into bed
While four quarts of mead were ablaze in my head.
Then up from below came the sounds of a brawl
So I grabbed up my axe and ran down to the Hall.
I missed the last step and crashed down in a heap
Thinking, "Why can't those low-lifes downstairs go to sleep!"
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
But two brawny strangers, wielding mallet and spear.
I said to myself, "We'll soon have them beat!"
Then I noticed ten warriors laid out at their feet.
I gave out a yell and leapt into the fray...
I'll always regret my poor choice of that day.
For the one laid his hammer to the side of my nose
And up, up, up to the rafters I rose.
Then came a lone frightened voice from the floor,
"Those are no mortal warriors -- that's Odin and Thor!"
Then they looked at each other and they said, "Battle's done.
Now they know who we are, it no longer is fun."
Then Thor raised his hammer, and his elbow he bent,
And with a loud crash, through the ceiling they went.
I crawled through the Hall and flung open the door,
Not really sure that I'd seen them before.
The snow bathed in starlight, the moon like a glede,
I saw them ride off on an eight-legged steed.
And I heard them exclaim, 'ere they flew out of sight,
"TO HELA WITH CHRISTMAS, WE JUST LOVE A GOOD FIGHT!"

Vision without a plan is hallucination.
I do not ask for fewer foes, I only ask for a stronger axe.

gross....
--- When they paint their faces in the blue woad it is more than decoration. It is a sacred rite. To the Tehvikings it means they would sooner die then fail, to them there is no turning back.

Re: VIKING CHRISTMAS POEM!
Baller poem, gross ladies.
--- I am on a street corner where I shouldn't be. Alone and coatless I have gone out to look for a black dog who answers to my whistle.
I have a kind of halloween mask which I am afraid to put on.

I don't get it, you can be sophisticated and observe basic hygiene and they want vikings. What a world we live in.

Re: VIKING CHRISTMAS POEM!
Actually, I'm pretty sure the vikings were obsessed with personal hygiene...I have one (kind of?) word for you, sir, Ear-spoons.

Re: VIKING CHRISTMAS POEM!
vikings were the cleanest men of their period in medieval Europe. They washed their face and combed their beards daily. Unlike other peoples of that period, who usually bathed once a year...
Its no wonder Viking men were rumored to steal women away from most other European men..
