Vikings! The true story

Well, I am back from that steaming hellhole to our south, just a few steps ahead of the hurricane. Now, at least for a few days, I will be all tied up with school work. But I have discovered a wonderful explanation of the Viking invasions, right here.

It's as convincing as anything else I can think of.

next week, by special request from Mr Sobrino, Viking kitties!

Hmm, last I checked Vikings mostly went in for *real* man's drink -- mead!

Stella is an embarrassment to Belgian brewing.

Btw, apparently the Viking/transScandinavian cheers "Skoal" is the same word as skull because they used to drink mead/beer out of the skulls from their vanquished foes.

You are such a beer snob Joey. Stella Artois is just fine. But then so is Cruz Campo. Of course, I am of the "the worst beer I ever had was just fine" school.

The great Lombard warlord Alboin is said to have conquered the Gepids. He then married the Gepid King's daughter and sealed the wedding festivities by making her drink the final toast from her father's skull.

It did not end well for Alboin.

Hs the beer nob ever tried Catamount porter? It's VT microbrew, non-pastuerized so you can only get it in New England. It's worth the drive.
