Yay! Vikings rule!
Indeed!
If Sarah can get all these Vikings to be happy, cheerful and non-violent, then she got the knack for foreign relations all right. Maybe she can get similar responses from our Allies and maybe even from the Arab world.
Spam Spam Spam Spam SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM!! SPAMMITY SPAM! SPAM!
Time for a history lesson, since many of you seem interested: Horns on the helmets are what make them recognizable to us as belonging to the Vikings, but sadly, that is not historically accurate. Horns were only included on religious ceremonial helmets, not on the ones regularly worn during battle. The image of the horned Viking helmet actually was popularized by a famous 18th-century opera that had no bearing in historical accuracy. Being a lover of all things Norwegian, however, I must admit I love costumes like this!
Not to spoil the image or anything, but anyone who has ever worn a helmet has this one figureed out. The good news is Palin can see Russia from her house…
Indeed.
witch one is viking gal?
I couldn’t make it to that party–I had a class to teach. But obviously half of my relatives were there!
no one there pretty nuff to be the viking gal
Course not!
Vikings? In Alaska? :/
The only real Vikings are Swedish ones! (k, the norse and danes had some too)
Well, they’re obviously not “real” vikings. They have helms with cow horns on. That was pretty much a WB Cartoon stereotype thing.
O RLY?
Exactly. Only the gods actually wore those in the drawings/carvings and whatnot.
Which might explain why we see it so much. Who doesn’t want to look like a God?
I have foreign relations.
HEY! I could be Vice President!!
lol! You could even run for president now!
I went abroad and and had foreign affairs.
Attending a local SCA meeting does not qualify you for public office.
Dude, get a sense of humor!
You ever been to an SCA meeting, you’d get the joke.
I think that was intended as a joke. But then again, no SCA member would be caught dead in a horned viking helmet.
Well yes, I have never been to an SCA meeting (little too extrem for me). Though my impression is that the focus is on realistically creating mideval ( I know that’s misspelled) society, so, in most cases, I would think you’re right. Horned viking helmets would be out.
We do go for realistic, but we’re flexible. Keep in mind I’ve carried a celphone into battle on at least 3 different occasions. Never got a call in battle though, and don’t know if I’d answer one if I didn’t get it.
I should hope not. Calling ‘hold’ on the battlefield so you can answer your cellphone would be absolutely ridiculous. Greetings from Calontir, BTW.
Greetings from An Tir!
Greetings from Ansteorra! Much love to you!
I went to the Detroit Ren Faire one year, and my boyfriend and I were hailed by a rather huge fellow in VERY convincing-looking Viking garb. As I recall, he was a member, and his helmet did have horns.
Scary-looking SOB – even my boyfriend was a little alarmed, I think – but turned out to be a nice guy, BTW.
I presume his helmet had horns because that’s what people expect? It worked for me.
I did not have foreign relations with that woman, Mrs. Palin.
I didn’t have domestic ones either.
Petersburg, AK is very proud of its Norwegian heritage. I still have the UFFDA button I bought at the Sons of Norway Hall.
I don’t know her, but I DO know what is going on in this picture.
I attended the University of Idaho here in Moscow Idaho, where she got her first degree years ago. The mascot for the U of I are “the vandals” Usually represented by a viking like image. Not historically accurate, but its what they do.
The picture looks like it was a fraternity or similar party related to the University of Idaho.
Do they know the words to “Berserker”?
“My love for you is ticking clock, BERSERKER!”
My love for you is like a truck, BERSERKER!
Did he just say “Making f*ck”?
This thread is an epic win!
This may be hard to believe, but I’ve have often been called a berserker.
I count lots of dead wolf parts in this photo.
Brings to mind the song “Heeding The Call” by Hammerfall.. LOL!
Nah. Immigrant Song.
To say this site is biased for Obama is an understatement. Your humor falls flat after the constant pounding on Sarah Palin and John McCain. Hope it blows up in your face.
and when it doesn’t . . . YOU can blow ME! Oops, sorry did I offend anyone?
Oh please. Go get a sense of humor and then start visiting sites that have LOL in the title or link.
Just because the McCain/Palin camp sets themselves up for more jokes than the Obama/Biden camp does, doesn’t mean you should get all butthurt.
I think you are taking these things way too seriously.
“pounding on Sarah Palin” *masturbates*
Well, Just make sure you don’t follow it to the second half of that sentance. Talk about mind scaring.
Go grow a sense of humor. If you haven’t noticed we have some pretty staunch McPain/Palin supporters laughing at this too.
I pity the fool that can’t take a joke.
Like yourself ?
Awwww, that’s cute, Megabob is stalking me again. Srsly Bob, I’m not going to go out with you so just stop asking. Our viewpoints are just too dissimilar, it would never work. I’m sure one day you’ll have a crush on someone better suited, but for now you’re just embarrasing yourself.
BOB!!! YOU SLUT!!! Why are you cheating on me!!!
T_T
Nice A-team reference!
She still has more experience than your Presidential pick gj.
I knew somebody was going to make that comment. Being able to see russia from your house doesn’t qualify as foreign relations experience.
Well, except that she can’t actually see Russia from her house, but then again, she has a problem with the truth.
The ads on the side of this site are getting down-right offensive. I don’t want to see pics of McCain and Palin having sex when I come here to see the lols. And they’re all “Pro-Democrat Tees & More!” or “Democrat Car Magnets!!!”. If the site has anything to do with the ads here they need to take a look at how biased and obnoxious they are.
I thought the same thing. But, it is their website and they can pretty much do as they please.
It is pretty obnoxious, and makes it obvious that ads aren’t localised.
Of the 8 ads I see, 5 are Democrat, one is half/half, the other two are for snorg tees.
I should really get adblock installed.
I found it to be at once distasteful and hilarious. “Drill, baby, drill!” Not something I’d ever purchase, but good for a light chuckle all the same.
Now let’s see one with Obama “drilling” his beyotch Biden !
See, the humor wouldn’t work, because Obama never said “Drill, baby, drill” (as Palin did in regards to the ANWR), and because he actually took on a VP candidate of substance, instead of a token set of genitalia sporting “dirty librarian” glasses.
It’s no wonder that conservative LOLs never make the front page. You guys just don’t understand humor.
Do not diss the dirty librarian glasses… >_>
However, I don’t need the image of McCain screwing anybody/anything on the front of the lol site. Despite my distaste for McCain, I too found the ad offensive.
Second.
Unfortunately it has grown on me…
How about Hillary instead of Biden? That would work just fine! I would still hate it though as much as I hate this one. Disgusting and low class, nothing funny about it at all. And, nothing funny about our economic woes due to lack of oil either and the stubborn Democrat refusal to allow us to solve it by drilling for our own.
And when it runs out? What’s the back up plan?
Drilling for oil will not solve the problem.
its not meant to solve the problem, it’s meant to help along with other measures
Which it won’t do, either.
I am not against drilling in ANWR, but don’t think for a second that that will solve our oil problem. It’s just like an addict, “just one more fix then I’ll be all good…”
What we need is a comprehensive research and development program for new sources of energy that don’t depend on oil.
Both candidates are saying the same things about research, etc. I fully agree and hope we can get there soon. In the meantime there is nothing wrong with drilling here to help bring down the prices now.
Um it would help by how little again? And that is after ten years. How about we dig into what would take care of things on the overall problem now instead of drilling for a little bit of “fix” that won’t even really help.
The idea is to do both. The price is up so far now because of market speculation and just the talk of drilling has pushed the price of oil down a little bit.
We don’t have the money to do both! Thanks to eight years of the Republicans allowing big business to do what it likes with zero oversight, our economy has imploded. Not content to be Bush the Third, John McCain aspires to be Herbert Hoover Jr., and makes Hoover’s same claims (nigh verbatim) with regard to the economy. How in the name of all that’s holy are we going to muster the funds to do drilling OR research, never mind both?
Thats the thing, the government does not have to pay for drilling. Private companies do that and the government collects taxes and whatever else kind of royalties, etc. Do you know that in Alaska everyone is getting a $1200 rebate from the government? Article attached of course… Here is a quote: “It was Palin, after all, who last month proposed that lawmakers pay out a $1,200 resource rebate as a way for the state to share some of its multibillion-dollar oil revenue surplus with Alaska residents.”
And yet they still take the Governement money for the OTHER bridge to nowhere (600 million to link Wasilla to Anchorage endangering a pod of beluga whales in the process but Palin of course doesn’t care about the whales – just the money)
All states take federal money for infrastructure – you are changing the subject.
But all states governors don’t make a political point of saying they said “thanks but no thanks” when in fact they still took the money, in direct contradiction to their stated aims for what the country should do.
Ya that rather galled me too.
Drilling will not make a dent in the current US oil consumption, the oil companies just want to claim rights to the land.
more suppy = lower prices to relieve the stress on the economy
Wrong-o!
Won’t see any oil for years, by the time we do it won’t have an impact. Drilling is not the answer, unless of course your loyality is to the large oil corporations and not the USA.
Oil companies already have leases on 40 million acres of off-shore reserves, and they’re only drilling on 10. That and the record windfall profits… *sigh* there’s making money, and there’s outright gouging.
Forgive me for not weeping as they whine for more tax breaks.
Actually, the oil company execs are traitors, they give aid and comfort to our enemies during time of war. Too bad their pet GOP congressional lapdogs can’t figure that out.
The lips of the American government have been wrapped firmly around the shaft of Big Oil for decades — we’re at, what?, a century and a quarter?.
I will be billing you for therapy for that damaging mental image. Or I will just think of something else and forget all about it. I will let the suspense build.
Actually, if they started drilling right now on our own reserves, it would take an estimated 5 years before we saw even a drop of it. Even then, it is not expected to make any significant impact, according to federal research.
There is no “lack” of oil. What there is, is a finite resource which is growing smaller. But we do not “lack” oil. And drilling our own would not solve that either. We do drill in our own country, and there is plenty of space that has been designated for leasing to the oil companies. But they would rather destroy the environment and the creatures that rely on it that to utilize what has been made available. Also, for the record, it is not just the Democrats. Schwatzenegger is staunchly opposed to offshore drilling.
Oh right, they are just dying to destroy the environment and all the creatures! That’s what they really want to do! You found out! The more oil on the market the lower the price and the better for the economy, period. The reason they are not using current leases is because, surprise! there is no oil there! They are the experts on where the oil is not Nancy Pelosi.
If you truly believe the oil companies are motivated by anything remotely resembling a passing allusion to something somebody read about in a Reader’s Digest synopsis of a junior high school essay on altruism, I have a bridge I’d like to sell you. Real cheap. Only ever used by a little old lady to cash her pension check.
Cynical much?
Cynical yes, but do you have proof otherwise? I am not watching evidence to the contrary.
As a dirty librarian, I’m offended.
I’m sorry. You rock as a dirty librarian.
It’s a CAPITAL ONE commercial…
What’s in your wallet
But last week all my ads were pro-McCain…
I agree and I’m a Democrat. I don’t really want to see that McCain/Palin cartoon and I don’t know anyone who’d want to buy that. But the website needs to make money and they do so by selling advertising space to whomever is willing to pay. If more pro-Republican companies and websites bought ad space on the site you’d see more advertisements for them. Personally I’m more offended by the University of Phoenix online ads.
There are plenty of McCain/Palin ads on here, no one is complaining about that, but they are no where near as sleazy as that one.
You should get ad blocker of no-script then. I don’t see any ads at all.
Blocking ads is UNAMERICAN, zomg!
Why would a Pro-Republican company advertise here on a blatantly hostile anti-Republican site. It would be like Michael Moore advertising on Fox !
The site seems to attract people like you…
Only because I find really sad, sick people here who I like to torment and disrupt their evil little worlds…..
Hey, I gotta have a hobby !
zzzzZZZZZzzzzTT!
Damn mosquitoes……
Whaaaaat? Sex? I don’t see any of it. Firefox and Adblocker. But now I want to, just to feel included.
I don’t want to see pics of McCain having sex with ANYBODY… Do I have a problem?
C’mon, where’s your right wing love of free enterprise?
Enough said LOVED IT!!!
Oh, more WILL be said… Believe me.
Yeah Obama’s got WAY more experience, like … that trip he took a couple months ago, and …. uh … well, I guess that’s about it.
He absolutely has more experience. He’s had senate briefings on foreign policy matters, spoken often with General Petraus and other battlefield commanders, actually been to foreign countries… and before that, he was quite experienced on the domestic side. Palin had two terms as mayor of a town smaller than a DC suburb, and one incomplete term as governor. Prior to that her only political experience was in the PTA, for pity’s sake. Despite her incredibly short tenure, she managed to compile an impressive list of scandals, indiscretions, and outright foolishness. If I were a conservative, I’d be aghast at what my presidential candidate had foisted upon me with this walking disaster.
And don’t forget – SHE HATES CATS!!!!!
Still full of hate, nate ? How was the KKK rally last week ?
Yeah n8, how DARE you point out well established facts. And what does pointing out a candidates flaws have to do with the KKK?
The fact that n8 spews hate if you haven’t seen that?
And bob doesn’t?
It’s only hate when the other guy does it.
That wasn’t hate, that was what we in the reality-based community call “objective fact.” You can call it hate if you want, as I’m sure you find it hateful to your little anti-reality bubble, but I’m just telling it like it is.
I don’t know, I haven’t slept with your mother in a while. How is she btw? Still clingy?
Still dead. But she’ll be voting for Obama- he’ll see to that .
That explains all the dirt and why you were there with a camera and a hand in your pants last time I tried to visit.
Wow.
Bring her panties back !
I did, you’re wearing them… Remember?
Huh? Seriously Bob, take your meds.
Go draw some more Palin McCain Tshirts and have a nice nap !
If only I could take the credit. That t-shirt was made by somebody else who shares my talent for spotting the obvious.
Oh come on!! He talked to Biden before he went, doesn’t that count??!!
If you went at looked at his webpage, or even the wikipedia entry on him, you’d know since joining the senate he has traveled to Russia with other congressmen several times. I’m not saying that’s a huge, huge amount of experience, but be informed please. It’s better than Palin who could possbily be president and has NO foreign policy experience.
And then he watched “Dr Zhivago” and doubled his foreign experience time !
Consorting with viking ter’rists!
They’re here for our women! They’ll eat our children! And they’ll take our jobs! ZOMG! Fraterizing with the enemy!!!1!
Shame, vikings are so 600 years ago.
They hate our FREEDOM.
“and when the vikings landed, they looked at our green landscapes… they looked to our sheep… they looked at our women… they looked back at the sheep.”
“You do well to flee, townspeople. I will pillage your lands and dwellings. I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters.”
I feel I should know a quote that epic…
Consorting… Now there is an image…
Fraterizing too…
Not as fun an image as consorting but you have a point.
Great! More senseless bashing of Palin by the whiney liberals. Keep up your hate-mongering, jerks!
Bill, please explain how this is bashing. In your answer, please be sure to cite Palin’s foreign policy experience either with links or exact quotes.
Right after you describe in detail Obama’s foreign policy experience !
Uh….. nope…um, nothing…
It was a joke aimed at the d-bags on this site that get all fired up over humor that runs contrary to their political slant. This isn’t a site for arguing politics, its a site for giggling at silly pictures, but some people don’t get that. If I may digress, it often seems like two people arguing over what a coin looks like. One claims it’s heads, the other tails. When the other disagrees, the attack their family, experience, etc, without ever really talking about what’s actually going on. When one takes a side, black or white, they misrepresent, take out of content and malign what their opponent has to say. Getting such a “black” and a “white” to yell propaganda at each other is what qualifies as a debate in this day and age. When the day comes when the voters actually take the time to look at one issue at a time, look at the facts, not how your party views the world but the facts of how our economy and war are doing and what their long term implications are, we’ll have real candidates to vote for. In conclusion, please watch the movie Idiocracy. So much is to be learned there.
But instead of actually adding a funny comment for us all to laugh at, you add to the deviseness… Way to join in with the rest of us!
Sarcasm fail!
Only to the overly-literal, Bill. I thought your comment was funny.
Of course, the picture cracked me up, too, even though I’m almost 100%
definitely voting McCain. Why? Because it’s funny as hell.
There will be more. Worry not.
I understand your first comment was sarcastic, I was referring to your second comment in which you said: “This isn’t a site for arguing politics, its a site for giggling at silly pictures, but some people don’t get that.” Then you went on to wag your finger at everyone on the site and finally recommended a movie for our guidance. Was that sarcasm?
I’m assuming the question is rhetorical, but thanks for asking.
Assumption fail!
If you’re trying to make a point, please make it. Also, please look back at what you’ve written and try to understand how it looks to others. I’m not a mind reader here. You lent some insight and then you asked a rhetorical question. Now you’re just confusing me, so please get on with it.
Wow, you are the one confusing me! I was not asking a rhetorical question. Ok, let’s just let it die now…
Dude, I wanna hang out with Vikings…
I’m a Viking…
And I want to hang out with you. *hangs out, sharpens axe, wears fur*
This kicks ass, thank you for the privilege sir. Have some mead. *gives mead*
Move to Minnesota. Football season’s on its way!
Vikings have been pretty sucky for a while though…
Pfft, hate football. I would prefer axe wielding psychotics in fur.
“Oh boy! Sleep! That’s when I’m a Viking!”
lol but I am still not going to sleep with you.
I heart Ralph.
Spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam…..wonderful spam!!
I DON’T LIKE SPAM!!!!!
And we don’t like you, h8!
knowledge of Monty Python, FAIL
Epic fail even.
Not at all- i like the one that’s not got much Spam in it !
Tak !!
Your visceral, hate-filled reaction tells me that my comments are finding the mark. To be hated by folk like you, EP, and Trainwreck Chaser is an honor. May I always incur the hate of the likes of you.
in bed
I’m pretty sure that’s Michael Palin, not Sarah.
Kill da wabbit, kill da wabbit, kill da wabbit, kill da wabbit…
Wif your spear and magic helmut!?
Chorus: “Oh Bwunhilda, you’re so wuvwey…”
Sarah Palin: “Yes, I know it, I can’t help it…”
No she can’t.
Dude, I don’t care who you are, I’m amusing. So I guess once I’m in my first Wagnerian opera, I could be president too.
er, ok, I meant “that’s amusing”, not “I’m”. Apparently I couldn’t decide between ‘that’s amusing’ and ‘I’m amused’. Epic typo.
It’s okay, I find you amusing.
Why thank you. Ditto
Now I need to have a tangent where I thank Eddie and ema for being cool to talk to as well.
Ha ha yes, I would say they and Phaelin are my favorite “non-loony liberals”.
nah, that’s just typo, epic typo would have been “That’s amused.”
That would be epic! It could go on the ‘engrish’ site!
Oh great, she crashed an American Asatru blot
Hey, sumbel happens…
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
she’s a fool
if you recall your history… the Vikings were a brutal, conquering and pillaging lot… I’m sure Sarah Plain (w lipstick) feels right at home among their admirers. Just wait till she gets to the White House and starts her war with Russia.
I see this as more economic experience, as in “What’s in your wallet.”
oh, PETA’s gonna have a fit about this
Oh, yeah, send in the PETA people………The vikings can eat them for dinner….LOL
Everybody wins.
What “foreign”?? That’s the Thursday night PTA meeting in Barbie’s hometown!
Ur doing it rong.
I can’t believe that we have Caribou Barbie running for VP. Seriously, people believe that she has more experience than Obama? Okay, let’s see here… hockey mom/beauty queen who was mayor of a town of 7000 and then governor of Alaska for 20 months. And in the other corner a graduate from Harvard Law who studied Constitutional Law and served as a legislator at both the state and federal levels for longer than her so-called “executive” experience. That’s rich. I really, really wanted to vote for McCain, but his VP pick just has me really worried that he’s off his rocker and that this crazy woman is going to end up the leader of the free world. I can’t bring myself to do it anymore…
It looks like they’re LARPing to me.
Vote for John McCain! He loves to LARP! =)
Or not because he’ll probably die within a week of being nominated.
As a proud Democratic American, this shit is weird. MCcInsane/Palin can and never will represent me. Their phony, immoral conservative rhetoric sickens me. The time has come to destroy the evil ones in Washington. It’s going to be interesting to have a black man with the key to access all the naughty little secrets that have been held in the white mans hands for hundreds of years. I am not voting on the basis of one’s skin color……..but on the content of their character and leadership abilities. If your racist, republican or a “MOOSE EATEN, HOCKEY MOM”-God bless and sleep well tonight.
haha i really like this one. you know what they say “to learn how to make 18 million cracks you have to talk to the crack heads”
