His (prose) North Mythology book is suitably mad. He's researched and rewritten some of the stories of that mythology. More a collection of short stories, it plays around with logic quite a lot and has inconsistencies (as you might imagine from the remnants of a largely spoken word mythos).

I *think* that's where I learned about the days of the week being mostly Norse in origin, but I might have that backwards. You know: Thursday::Thor's Day kind of thing.

Hang on , now you mention it, I got the audiobook of it a couple of years ago, just as I was finishing up my stint as an extra on the Vikings series. Listened to it during the mad snowfall of that year, which I thought was an appropriate atmosphere.

I just saw an advert for a Love Island game app. The apocylpse must not be far off. I hope.

I felt a serious sharp pain in my right thigh two minutes ago. I emptied my pocket and found there was an AA battery in there, with a key, an earring and a drillbit, which were all touching each other and carrying the battery's current to produce increasing heat.
No more batteries in the pocket for me.

Same power supply as the T-800.

Yet there's one battery that we keep in our pockets all the time - just don't pierce it, as this happening close to your nuts would be ... unfortunate

Well, I wasn't expecting that.

An internet forum populated by weirdo middle aged nerds and no-ones mentioned the Pentagon's "Recovery of off-world vehicles" news topic from a few days ago??

Granted, it's genuinely difficult to determine authentic news sources these days, especially from across the pond, but this seemed to be more than a Legendary Shark anecdote, didn't it?

Dandontdare · 27 July, 2020, 07:06:05 PM

I'm suspicious of the timing...

Covid....BLM ... economy ... OOH LOOK, ALIENS!!!

JayzusB.Christ · 28 July, 2020, 09:33:24 AM

A conspiracy that the Pentagon is covering up the NON-existence of aliens. Strange times indeed.

Covering up the non-existence of Aliens? Have you seen Trump's wife and kids? Don't tell me they're not pod-people!

I've just been on my favourite Sexy Teen Photos forum and it's full of spam posts about Judge Dredd.
Bloody typical.

Its when they get really obcsure and post those 'hardcore action' panels from 'Angel' and 'Second City Blues' over at my favourite Kyrgyzstan Water Works site that I find it most annoying. The other Krgystan Water Works social media pages really seem to get off on it!

...sigh...

We're doing our best

On the other hand, I now have a contact for a piling rig in Novosibirsk. Which is handy.

And at the other end of the age spectrum, my regular Granny Porn pages are being infiltrated by diabolical demons. In the name of all humanity, won't someone please think of the Grannies?!
