Dammit Zooooos, can’t you just screw up your own pantheon? More…

I am sure that “Zoos” was just waiting to make his grand and impressive entrance to wow the ladies, no doubt in preparation to seduce them later (“He don’t know them very well, do he?”). And then he gets impatient and blows his lid because the ladies cannot pronounce his name. And then the sorcerous makes a comment that shows that she is not impressed by him.

He must not feel so mighty right now.

I reached the end of a long journey. And now, instead of travelling it with seven league boots, I can now only walk with one step a week.

A most enjoyable journey it is, though.

There’s a lot of stories about the norse out there. One of the better is ‘American Gods’ by Neil Gaiman. But right now, I’d say this is the best. Not because it’s serious – it both is and isn’t. But the tales of the norse gods were not written (entirely) as a tale of gods and the world’s creation. It was part the wisdom of fairy tales, part the hilarity of a party tale (how loki made thor think he was pregnant, for instance, now that’s definitely not a ‘serious’ tale).. and Voluspå, of creation, past, future, the world’s ending, and such serious things.

And Brat-halla is just that. A mix of serious, hilarity, and wisdom worthy of that old pantheon.

ANd yeah, I am not good at writing hilarity. Or wisdom, really. Still, that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy it.

“What’s that John? Are the spectators out there voicing their disapproval of the Greek team?”

“No, Al. That’s just some of the partisan crowd chanting ‘Zoooooooooooooooos, Zoooooooooooos’.”

I spy spiderman looking in the bar window!

That said “Zoooos” really needs to learn some patience. Not everyone is a master of vocabulary.
