Your GROANS are enough!

And finally, for the educational part of this post --

Harald Bluetooth was a 
great communicator apparently.

Huh, who knew?

P.S. Speaking of communication,
Vikings can help with your dating life too --

  7. `Every time I see one of those ads for Viking River Cruises on PBS, I wonder if they'd be pissed if a passenger stood in the front with a horned hat and ax shouting "Pillage! Rape! Burn!" as it went along the rivers :-)

  8. @ Lady M -- For the sake of those poor babies' developing tastebuds, I sure hope Cream of Lutefisk isn't real, LOL!

  9. @ Bruce.desertrat -- I believe your name just went on Viking River Cruises' "no sail list."

  10. What a funny series of memes for Viking style humours

  11. I live with a Viking. He would LOVE that hammock, but not the Cream of Lutefisk (I can't stop grimacing at the thought of how awful that would be). Those song lyrics are so much better.

  12. I was invested in the grocery store story and then ... Norse with no name. Huge GROAN!

  13. Cream of Lutefisk and Norse with no name. Class

  14. Let us also keep in mind that the term Viking is for a profession, a trade, it does not identify a people or an ethnicity.

  15. Sil, or pickled herring, was a staple in our household. I recently met a young Swedish American who told me that NO ONE eats that anymore. She actually crinkled her nose at the thought of it. HA.

  16. Yes, I'm sure King Harald's rotten teeth caused him to scream blue murder.

  17. I just checked "Manage" for a Finnish blog I followed years ago. Blogs stay up, even if abandoned, unless someone takes it down. I cannot find the blog in question; it is gone. Cream of Lutefish would have been mentioned.

  18. Favorites this time are the Viking hammock and the graduation ceremony, and I learned something new about Bluetooth.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I'll bet Cream of Lutefisk is also an effective preventative against the measles.

  20. Anything Viking related is good content.

  21. Bluetooth, I KNEW I KNEW! 😆

    ReplyDelete
  22. Funny! Bluetooth one was interesting.

  23. They were so friendly that the Irish have a considerable amount of Scandinavian in their 23andMe results

  24. The hammock is fantastic! Oh, the dreams one would have in that.
    The bluetooth explanation is wonderful. I had no idea.
    I laughed like a loon at the Norse with no name!
    I'm easy to please and easy to amuse, I guess...
    Thanks, D, for the high quality meme content!
    :^)

  27. Oh Mom, i don't want to go the monk house today. Me and Fafnir just want to go to the meadow and watch the sheep and play around.

  28. The Board of Directors here at Spo-reflections is a bit peeved and plans to pop by to discuss things
    I would advise you to lock up the liquor they're means drunks.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I am going to travel
    across the whole internet
    to give Baili a hug.
    Because why not?

    ReplyDelete
  30. @ Ur-spo -- My plan is to drink all the liquor first because I'm an even MEANER drunk. The Board of Directors don't skeer me none. Hand me my Amazon axe.

  31. Oh just stop it. Enough with the Vikings. I appreciate my ancestors, you could test my DNA anytime, but that is not the point.
    I am an actual living descendant, and i came here to tell you that times have changed.
    We never liked those Vikings anyway. And we like them even less now that they turned fascist.

  32. Bluetooth!! LOL
    My girls had that American Girl Book--I don't remember the Viking part; very funny.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I'm sure you heard my GROAN, Debra! LOL! Such fun!

    ReplyDelete
  34. These are so much fun! What Viking babies eat .... BAHAHAHAHA

    ReplyDelete
  35. Where do you find them, Debra? they're so good. Olaf!

  36. Vikings are a really good conversation starter, though I imagine in real life they ended quite a few conversations.
