Thank you

And I’m going to stop with that particular discussion as Dino made a nice thread and I don’t want to mess it up.

Remember the expression "eff 'em if they can't take a joke"?

I say eff 'em a lot nowadays since nobody can take a joke anymore. Somebody is always offended. Guess what....you don't have the right to not be offended. PC has made comedy an endangered species.

This is the part of the thread when a keg is tapped and we all enjoy beers together and sing Viking songs.

Drøymde mik ein draum i nótt
um silki ok ærlig pell,
um hægindi svá djupt ok mjott,
um rosemd með engan skell.

Ok i drauminom ek leit
sem gegnom ein groman glugg
þá helo feigo mennsko sveit,
hver sjon ol sin eiginn ugg.

Talit þeira otta jok
ok leysingar joko enn —
en oft er svar eit þyngra ok,
þó spurning at bera brenn.

Ek fekk sofa lika vel,
ek truða þat væri best —
at hvila mik á goðu þel´
ok gløyma svá folki flest´.

Friðinn, ef hann finzt, er hvar
ein firrest þann mennska skell,
fær veggja sik um, drøma þar
um silki ok ærlig pell.

I dreamed a dream last night
of silk and fair furs,
of a pillow so deep and soft,
a peace with no disturbance.

And in the dream I saw
as though through a dirty window
the whole ill-fated human race,
a different fear upon each face.

The number of their worries grow
and with them the number of their solutions —
but the answer is often a heavier burden,
even when the question hurts to bear.

As I was able to sleep just as well,
I thought that would be best —
to rest myself here on fine fur,
and forget everyone else.

Peace, if it is to be found, is where
one is furthest from the human noise —
and walling oneself around, can have a dream
of silk and fine furs.

Who didn’t know that?

I know right? However, I thought there might just be 1 person, so I did a good deed so I could sleep really well on my bed of silk & fine furs.

For some reason I just assumed Dill would be the one to post a Viking song first.

Don't like Vikings.  Good song though, though the translation could be better. e.g. "noble" for "aerlg." maybe "genuine."

Actually correcting the translation of old Norse or whatever that is seems like something Dill might do.

Don't really know Old Norse or Old Danish. Do know Old English though (or did 30 years ago), which is startlingly similar, including the orthography.  I enjoy philology--though it's been a dead science for over a century now.
