Viking Preparedness

"Always remember to pillage BEFORE you burn."
- Anon.

I had to pass on the burning and pillaging as I'm still down with this cold/flu thing. I'll be back in a day or so with a new recipe and the AR15/PRS Sniper Stock review.

And if anyone is curious, the thing under the plastic to the left of the picture (if you click on it) is Mr. Antelope mount, waiting to be displayed in the old Range Boudoir. (What, you think I want a picture of Still Life with Kittens in my bedroom?)

I'm sorry you're under the weather; get well soon, ma'am.

And kittens? In YOUR boudoir? I'd rather expect to see old firearms (lovingly cared for) and pictures from your travels.

More likely puppies, Rev. Paul. Like Barkley's puppy pictures.

Hope you're well soonest

I see no conflict at all between kittens and firearms.

I thought that was Drill Sergeant Dailey, although I also saw it in a Far Side cartoon...

What's wrong with kittens? The cat was sacred to the Roman deity Libertas.

If you want a RINO for your bedroom wall, the Florida GOP has a deal for you. :)

Viking Chief: We kill the men, rape the woman and burn the village and for Odin's sake lets get it right this time.

I'm Norwegian/Irish/English, living in Oz, and I'm writing because we Viking/Celts have to stick together.

You do not seem to have a Surefire by the bed. I can highly recommend one with one of Mr. Malkoff's after-market LED additions.

I have no interest in either business (more's the pity) except as a satisfied customer. In addition to always enchanting me, your writing has sometimes helped me. I am merely hoping to return the favour.

Best wishes.

P.S. Honey, lemon, and whiskey in hot water might help too!

Hope you feel better soon. Love the blog. Gotta say though that nothing says sexy love nest better than a bottle of Mucus Relief on the bedside table.

Look, Full Disclosure. I went and confessed to the babe, that I thought women who have written a check to a taxidermist are hawt. She winked and said..." what about me, I wrote a check for the property taxes today." There are just ALL kinds of hawtness. MmMm MMmm.

Sorry to hear you're not better yet. Hang in there, you are a prayed for woman! May you be Blessed as much as you have been a Blessing!

Hee hee!

Reminds me of this conversation between the Undead King and Aragorn in the "Lord of the Rings" movie:

Okay, okay... its the "Fractured Fairy Tale" version of "The Lord of the Rings", but I still think it applies here...

Feel better. Is there anyone who can bring you some chicken soup? Chicken soup cures everything.

I couldn’t help but notice your nightstand with your pistol closer than the cordless phone--it looks like mine. I've imagined a late night intruder scenario many times:

- Awakened by intruder
- Grab pistol
- Shoot intruder, stop threat
- Assess red stained carpet damage
- Call 911
- Get online and start looking for new carpet & installers while waiting for the Deputies to arrive

Hope you fell better soon Viking. BTW why does the clock read 666?!

I know this is off topic, but I saw it today and thought I would pass it along. I dread the day that we learn Sir Terry is no longer himself.

Fortunately, he is apparently still ahead of the disease.

The time was the late Sixties, and Johnny Hart was still in his prime, doing the "Wizard of id" in syndication.

One of the Huns came back from a raid and said to his commander (he has a brass beadstead and a spitoon as his spoils of war in a cart)I don't understand- we go burn the place down and then pillage it"

in the last frame, he's hanging from his heels in front of a chalkboard writing "Pillage THEN burn" 500 times. I remember it as if it were yesterday.

Now if I but knew the location of my keys.
