Sigh...Blush...Well, as pathetic as it may sound Oskar, My friends and
I, though we don't take it seriously...we sure have a lot of fun with
it. Arizona is a long way from iceland and we grasp at the few dregs
we can find. Ridiculous or not, it stirs something in many of us
"outlanders" and gets us charged up.
Though it may crush my girlish fanatasies, would you please elaborate
on what makes their concept of "Vikings" so poor? Dress? Attitude?
concepts of the afterlife? One glaring error in the script that caught
my attention was the comment that "The Allfather weaves the skein of
ones life".
