Ooooaaaaaaaaahh it makes me wonder...........(Led Zeppelin)

Wow - I`m looking at the pic....not sure what i see....look a
little more...a little more....and then suddenly i see the ghostbuster

whoever made this should get some sort of award

Small rant:

I have used to file up my used chainsaw chains at
a guys place, he has the machine for the job. A new
chain costs around $15 and if i file it its free so i save
alot of bucks. I was on my way over there now with
two chains in desperate need of filing, but...

...it hits me that the guy is a f-ing piece of s___ and
if i never see him again it will be too soon
So screw this, i`ll buy new chains, its worth it
to not have to see his sh***y face again
I hope he drops dead within the next 24 hours,
then i`m gonna have a party to celebrate. And
when the party is over, i`m gonna beat the crap
out of his good-for-nothing son, i owe him that.

end rant---

Heheheh... I'm really glad you guys like my 'Christbusters' picture... It has to be one of my favourite pictures of all time. Funny *and* symbolic!

Here's another one, sort of related:



And in keeping with Social_Fantom's theme:

Has anyone else seen a show called "i want to work for Diddy"?
I`ve been watching it a little and i`m just in aw, this guy has
to be the person with the most weird expressions of all time,
and he throws them out left and right

"if you cant see the forrest for all the trees...then you have
to cut some of those mf`s down!"

what the hell does that mean?


he comes across as being
very full of himself, big big ego. Talks about himself
in the third person and keeps saying things like
"they cant just meet me - they have to deserve it first"

Random mythology

say hello to Mjølner, Tors hammer. He used it
mainly to crack the heads of people he didnt like

He was the tuffest guy i`ve ever met....one time i saw him
kill three men with one bullet...and he didnt even have a
gun



getting late here

That reminds me of this.....

Tors? The second cousin of Thor? Or was it the third one?

Thor = a translation of the original name Tor

Today is National Chip and Dip Day.

I'm sorry, but Tor is a modification of Thor, because Germanic languages other than English and Icelandic lost the interdental fricatives which resulted from the consonant shift that characterized proto-Germanic. The Old Norse spelling was Þórr, where the first character is the runic letter "thorn", which was (and in Iceland still is) used to write the interdental that is written in English with "th".

twoshots strikes again!

Edit: interestingly enough, Thor isn't the English word for the god, despite the fact that Thursday looks quite similar to Thor's day (and in fact that's what it means). Thursday was originally Þunresdæg, where Þunres is the genitive of Thunor, which bears closer resemblance to the English word Thunder, which it is cognate with. The spelling Thursday may be the result of Norse influences in the English language.

one isnt more correct than the other.
the "norse mythology" was prevalent in all germanic cultures.
norwegians (such as me) are eager to point out how Tor is more correct than Thor, but forgets that vikings had the Þ-sound, which is TH. all those gods have been known under a variety of pronounciations in the different cultures, for ages and ages.
Thunor is just another way to say Thor or Tor, and theyre all correct.

^ Well, yes, neither of them is "correct", I'm just pointing out where the spelling Thor comes from.

Actually, the more I read the more "innovative" Old Norse sounds compared to English. For example, consider Tuesday. Using the common names for the gods used now, this translates to Tyr's day. Obviously, Tyr doesn't look much like Tues. In Old English, the word for Tyr is Tiw, going back, back, waaay back to the Indo European word of similar form (*dyeu-). How the r got in the Old Norse version I can't imagine.
