Well damn.....I was kind of banking on having one of those shortly after my 90th birthday.
Which if everything goes according to plan involves an envious romantic rival and a gunshot......

Maybe it’s the boat they object to.

That’s my plan, too. When I’m 93 or so anyway.

That’s too bad. There’s an entire football team in Minnesota that should be buried.

Love your optimism. I envisioned something along the lines of my tatteted corpse near a pile of smoking brass and a broken blade in my hand.

More of a goal than a plan, really.

The viking funeral is when they take the hot women from their male enemies, put the males on a ship, set it on fire, then push it out to sea.

No mention of excarnation. I’m still good to go.
To: nickcarraway
When my youngest son was in his 30’s, and living closer to me, I told him that if he died, I was going to give him a Viking funeral, because there was no freaking way I was going to clean out his apartment.

Lo there do I see my father; Lo there do I see my mother, my sisters and my brothers; Lo there do I see the line of my people, back to the beginning. Lo, they do call me, they bid me take my place among them, in the halls of Valhalla, where the brave may live forever.

In our youth my brothers and I were always trying things. Flaming arrows did not escape our attention. We discovered that those supposed weapons are little more than Hollywood crap. Scenario one: when a flaming arrow is released for flight, they are immediately snuffed out. Scenario two: when a difficult to snuff flaming agent is used on the arrow, the arrows drop to the ground after flying a very short distance due to the amazing air-drag of the flames. Scenario three: make an arrow warhead that ignites only upon impact. (This works, but is not "Hollywood Pretty")
We tried pretty much everything. The arrows were wrapped with cotton rope or cloth and then soaked in motor oil, vegetable oil, olive oil, turpentine, gasoline, Coleman fuel, lighter fluid, and even acetone. We had fifty-five pound draw weight re-curve bows. Always the same results.
Shooting an arrow that delivered an ember into grass or straw works if you wait patiently for the fire. It is not pretty or in any way cool.
Oh, don't go into caves with the good old Hollywood railroad flare. The sulfur dioxide fumes really spoil the adventure.

You do know why Scandinavian women are all gorgeous, don’t you? Vikings never brought the ugly ones home.

Hollywood crap
But our society learns everything from the movies.
Remember the silent movie about the kkk and burning crosses?
Now think about it. If you are going to shoot a film at night, what do you need? a light source. How do you fit that in with the move? You burn some crosses.
Everyone went to the movie and learned the kkk ALWAYS burned crosses so that is what they did in real live. Didn’t happen until the movies.

So... does this mean no suttee?
I thought we were supposed to ‘’celebrate diversity’’ and ‘’all cultures were equal’’.
