I am a Viking

I've come to the realization that a blog is nothing more than a mental tangent, I think about something or see a picture, or read some story and next thing you know I have a new post...here is one that came to me while cleaning out my emails. Vikings! ( not the fags in the purple shirts with the roof falling in) Real ones or what we have all been led to believe are real. I've had an affinity for Vikings for as long as I remember, the images of muscular, long haired Barbarians in winged or horned helmets sailing across the open sea to fight lesser men and steal their chicks..I don't know it's just always got me, you know. I used to say I was one in a past live who knows maybe. Here are some Viking related goodies.

Facts: more or less

This got the ball rolling, young Tank the Smartass! ( i bet Mr.666 still has this "helmet")

Mrs Tank and Maddie-Tank perpetuating the myth!!

Boris! But with half naked chicks as is his style! 

Of course Frank was not to be outdone, thought these guy look like they may be looking for the bath house or a great new guy-liner...I'm just saying...

Truth is not as cool as fiction!

This is purely ceremonial!

                                                  This is a true Viking helmet.

This a Celtic ceremonial helmet....mesohorny.

And of course Viking tunes!!..."I am a slayer and you will taste my steel"...they don't write 'em like that anymore!

What did you expect Wagner?
