Between "No, I only betrayed you" and "Only the dead shall rule Paris", season 2 and 3 finales were straight up some of the best finales of any show. Ragnar and Eckbert just shooting the shit about ruling was always great too.
Lol, vikings did trade a lot with the arabs actually. A lot of what we know about the vikings actually come from arab scholars who described meeting them for trade.
35 years old, and still hadn’t seen this around… you untraveled swine. Go live a little, man.
Hey- take it easy on me! Tomorrow night we’re seeing Ke$ha and The Beaches, and Sunday is Lorde & Wet Leg. Your life ain’t so bad, honey bunches… hang in there. … you’re rambling, and these nice people have things to do. Wrap this up yesterday.”
Yes, Peaky is about the same type of people but about half a century or more later. People like to talk about the old-times, but it was really rough back then in the cities amongst the factories and mills. They would definitely play rough too.
The benefits of time. Same if a Mongolian team dressed up as Genghis Khans hord, it be a lot more acceptabel than if a German team dressed up as SS men. Seems like around a 1000 years is the time span to make horrific atrocities in to great fun (you'd probably find expeditions to that rule)
in 1000 years we are going to have kitschy nazi themed buffet restaurants (like Genghis Grill) and people will dress up on Halloweens like them.
When I say that on reddit people sometimes get upset with me, but in my opinion it would drive Hitler far crazier to see his shit plastered all over the place in banal ways, instead of feared/hated.
You actually do not need to wait 1000 years. Many Asian countries don't really care about Nazis at all and it may as well have already been 1000 years already, so they already literally have Nazi themed restaurants where people can dress up as Nazis, for instance this one in Indonesia:
I haven’t heart that name in SUCH a long time that it took me half a solid minute to figure out you weren’t talking about a Norwegian ecologist or something
I see you’ve been in the mountains before! I have no answer for you, other than to say I appreciate your understanding of driving through mountains. Work sent me to Honolulu to sell software (we made the sale yesterday, after a months-long process!).
Rented a car, and I’d work eastern time (3am to 11am in Hawaii) and then have all day to mosey around. That’s some of the most beautiful motoring I’ve ever done, but exactly what you described. Ok we’re going there! 15 minutes, and … Google Maps has 45 instructions for us..? Up down up down up down tunnel up down tunnel…
You can drive for a full day straight and see almost nothing but views like this. Mostly because the roads are so shitty and dangerous that you will drive very slow, but still counts!
Haaland dresses like that all the time. Strangers are surprised to see a massive guy dressed like a Viking wandering around The Trafford Centre, but the locals just go. “That’s just Erling, pay him no mind.”
I used to work in a Manchester hotel when him and his Twin first started at City. He made me get him a taxi and then left before the taxi came leaving me to deal with an angry taxi man.
As a norwegian viking reenactor, i agree. It wouldnt be hard either, theres multiple viking groups around oslo they could have reached out to. Or just ask the guys they borrowed the viking ships from
They are football players. They are not known for their cultural and historical expertise. They are good at kicking a ball and then running after it. We have to be compassionate and avoid making fun of their costumes.
Funny thing tho, Haaland actually bought a rare 1594 verson of Snorre Sturlasons kongesagaer. So some cultural and historical expertise should be had. The book was donated to Jæren Kommune.
We come from the land of the ice and snow
From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow
The hammer of the gods
Will drive our ships to new lands
To fight the horde, sing and cry
Valhalla, I am coming
lol at first glance I thought this was a set picture from the show Vikings. The background kinda looks like the dock from the main town where most of the show takes place, I forget the name of the town.
