"And many years later..."

After God-knows-how long with the old nickname, I decided it was time for a change. Not only for the possible connotations and having to explain my way out of them, but because I was really bored with it as well... so now, I am a Spanish Viking instead.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to drink some sweet wine turn my mum's Honda Civic into a Longboat. Any reaction?

I love that video, it's so bad. The violinist looks like he doesn't really want to be associated with the rest of them and the bald guitarist has a Steve Vai JEM which is like the guitar equivalent of a Ferrari, and there they are in Robin Hood outfits trying to look like they're living in a forest 500 years ago. Totally inappropriate.

I have their second album though, it's good stuff, way more polished. And one of the songs opens with "I was born in a deep forest, I wish I could live here all my life", so it must be good.

It depends if I make that one of the awards.

Can I get an award for best pillaging of Monasteries in Western Europe?

Nah, but Machie will win the 'Old Man' award when I do my Freeola forum awards soon.

Nah, I'm just messing :)

Yeh... But.. he's still a snake :(

EDIT: Add Ole Man Machie :D

Violent Onion, should I replace Sunflower with that then?

Nah, Snake is Revolver Ocelot, so he doesn't get on the list.

We have a little Snake :) (R_O)

So, what have we got on the forum now then?

A Sunflower,
A Viking,
An Angel,
A Vampire,
A Black Glove,
A Tiramisu,
A Moose named Bob,
And an Insane Bartender.

Whatever next?

Well, I often say I'm a Pirate, and Vikings just came to mind, though it's a couple of years since I last did anything Viking-esque (ie Going to Denmark and seeing various Longboat remains, and an exhibition on Ragnarok, the Battle of Tyr etc). And oddly enough, that's the link the Waffen-SS used to try and recruit Danes and Norweigans during the Second World War, but there you go, quite a coincidence!
