@Tblock:
Not ofended by anything you've posted. Just thought you'd find this interesting:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heliand

There were many whose minds urged them
to begin the reckoning of the runes,
the word of God, those well-known accomplishments
that Christ the mighty achieved among men
in words and in works. Many of the wise
wished to praise the preaching of Christ,
those holy words, and with their own hands
write a book, brightly-shining, how the bairns
of men should carry out the commands of God.
But among all these were only four,
out of the many, granted the might of God,
help from heaven and the Holy Ghost,
strength from Christ. They were selected,
they alone, to inscribe the evengelium,
to write in a book the rules of God,
the holy heavenly word. Of all the heroic
sons of men alone they were to attempt it,
since the power of God had picked the four:
Mathew and Mark, so were these men named,
Luke and John, loved by God,
worthy of the work. The all-wielding ruler
placed the Holy Spirit in their heroic hearts,
with many wise words, and as well
an attitude of holiness and a keen heart,
to raise their voices, repeating the Gospel.
There is nothing in words comparable in the world.
Nothing could glorify our great Lord more;
nor can anything lop each loathed thing,
or wicked work; nor withstand better
the aggression and enmity of the enemy.
This, because the teacher of the tidings of God,
though meek and mild, had a powerful mind;
this was the master, the noble Almighty.
The four were to write it with their own fingers,
they were to set it down, sing it, and to say
what they had seen and heard of Christ's strength -
all the miracles, many, in word and deed,
the mighty Lord preached, and achieved among men -
and everything the Ruler said from the Creation,
when He, by his strength, with a single word,
first made the world and formed the universe;
the earth and the heavens, and all that they hold,
living or unliving, everything
was set in place strongly by God's words.
Then he determined which of the tribes
would rule the most territory, and at which time
the ages of the world would come to an end.
One age remained before the sons of men;
five were spent. The sacred sixth age
would come through God's power, the Holy Ghost,
and Christ's birth. He is the best of Healers,
come to this middle world as an aid to many,
to grant men's children a chance against
the enmity of the enemy, and the concealed trap.

A little different than what you're used to, huh?

@Manchu: ...wat?

**Manchu**

It's a version of the gospels written by Saxon missionaries trying to convert their people. It's reads like the "Gospel according to Beowulf."

Seriously, EF, read the link.

Wait, you did see that thing about vikings and yuletide and Christmas on the first page of this thread (out of two pages) right? I mean, my post was specifically directed at tblock. He was talking about the interaction between pagan and Christian cultures . . . and that's exactly what the Heliand is about. You want to know what that has to do with Santa hats? Your'e the one who asked him about the Viking avatar that inspired him to bring that stuff up.

Confusing

**insaniak**

Ear enhancements. So they can hear you bleed.

**FITZZ**

I always assumed that berzerker helmets were just a stylized GW version of Viking cerimonial helmet.

To be completely honest, neither of those really would surprise me

And thanks for clearing that up. Its been to weird for me to try and think past the what the hell are those?!??!?!!!111!?!one?!?!//slash//1//!??! thing

**chromedog**

It's a stylised version of the Khorne icon, not some viking thingy.

My pom-pom dangles on the left, but I'm left handed and anyway, the pom-pom looked wrong on the other side.

**Persephone 66**

I think I just might need to put a santa hat on my pic.
