Whew! I’m glad we got THAT settled!

This could only mean one thing: viking housewives were tidy and didn’t keep any dead Picts lying around.

I was expecting to see several species of small furry animals gathered together and grooving the pict. I was happy to Barrett mentioned, of course. Oh...wait...

Maybe we should have National Be a Pict Day
where you strip naked, paint yourself blue and jump and down and scream at your neighbor (Who should celebrating too by screaming back!)

The headline reminds me of an old Mad Magazine saying: It's crackers to slip a rozzer the dropsy in snide.
Except Mad Magazine's made sense.
And seriously, I don't mean to offend any picts, Broughs or Deernesses.

The nakedness and the scream manically make all the difference!

SANDAY SYMBOL STONE
The Pictish symbol stone was lying prone, under the floor of the property, and appears to have been damaged during the construction of the house, possibly in the 19th century.
Approximately 4ft 6in long, the stone is thought to have been made in the 8th century AD, when Christianity was being brought to Orkney. The carving shows both a Christian cross and a Pictish sea creature symbol.

Thanks! I hadn’t seen that one. What an interesting site. I noted that “Viking” is never capitalized. :’)
