Finally, an exhibition which shows the Vikings as Vikings, instead of as gay vegetarian shopkeepers.
To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list. |

On they swept, with threshing oar...

...a Frankish law forbade selling swords to Vikings. They got them anyway, as the exhibits prove. Gasp! You mean they didn't obey laws controlling the proliferation of weapons? Inconceivable! Oh wait...

"Some of my colleagues thought surely one sword is enough," archaeologist and co-curator Anne Pedersen said, "but I said no, one can never have too many swords."
Duh!

Viking sightings on Free Republic are considered to be some of the most terrifying experiences...They strike suddenly, sometimes without warning, and the only remains are a smelly burnt husk of ozone in these forums....

Things never change. I wish lawmakers would acknowledge that fact.

Is your handle a reference to the movie "Repo Man"?
A lot o' people don't realize what's really going on. They view life as a bunch o' unconnected incidents 'n things. They don't realize that there's this, like, lattice o' coincidence that lays on top o' everything. Give you an example; show you what I mean: suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconsciousness.

lol, well played.
I just saw Jason Bonham and Heart. Bonham’s band did Immigrant Song. Format was a short Bonham / Led Zeppelin Experience set, a short Heart set, then a long (30min+) encore with both bands, all LZ. Worthwhile for sure if you like LZ and Heart.

Vikings....they were like the Schwanns guy, but in boats instead of yellow trucks.
