View Full Version : Why I love Icelandic Sagas
Where else are you going to find names like this?
Ofeig Clumsyfoot, Ivar Horsetail, Gudbrand Knob, Orm the Wealthy, Harald Shockhead, Halfdan the Black, Thorir Long-chin, Geirmund Swarthyskin, Onund Treefoot.
I think we need to adopt names like these for our members. We could have Cyrus the perfect, Pengwuino cheesecooker, Moonbear sheepkeeper, Zapper pinbuyer.
Help me come up with new names for our members in the fine Icelandic tradition.

You can just call me "hypnagogue the half-Icelandic" :tongue:
Coincidentally, I just found out my folks got a new parakeet and named him Tryggvi.

Maybe I can get them to expand it to "Tryggvi world-crusher" or "Tryggvi the ominous." Stay tuned.

What's wrong about being deep??
It is to be in the possession of the essence of mystery.

I prefer MIH the jeanless No, it's got to be "MIH no jeans". That's who it would be written 2000 years ago.
"Astronuc long beard" - I like it. :tongue2: :approve: :biggrin:
Of course, no razor would have worked just as well.
BTW, my hair is catching up. I am sure I will be told to get a haircut.
