1. Bjorn Lodbrok has a worse haircut than Kim Jong Un.

2. Beware the Duke of Earl...Haraldson.

3. In Viking vs Viking battles, those wearing plain brown hoodies are doomed to die.

4. Viking trophy wives are high maintenance.

5. Ragnar Lodbrok is a secret humanitarian.

6. Although the Vikings had extensive contacts with North German Saxons, they were unaware of the existence of England until they arrived there.

7. Eighth century Viking women had the sensibilities of 21st century feminists.

8. No-Fault Viking divorce is quick and easy. No lawyers!

9. The Church punished apostate monks by crucifying them and doing their best to make them appear like Jesus including a crown of thorns and a lance in the side.

10. If an English king invites you to go skinny dipping with him in his swimming pool, you better start worrying about his sexual orientation.

11. Kattegat got absorbed by the Jarl Borg because he was dissed.

12. Rollo has an arm covered with L.A. Ink tattoos.

13. Ragnar Lodbrok is really a good ol' boy country farmer.

14. Viking soothsayers give accurate predictions if you are willing to lick their disgusting hands.

15. Rollo can grab a red hot knife for a full 10 seconds without displaying the slightest bit of pain and his hand will show no ill effects.

16. There is no Viking word for “foreplay.”

17. If you listen carefully to Old Saxon, in less than a minute it will sound exactly like modern English.

18. Hidden church treasure can always be found beneath the altar floorboards.

19. Lutefisk is the Viking MRE of choice when going on raiding parties.

20. Surving a battle is a bummer if you want to enter Valhalla.

21. Viking Duck Dynasty hunted birds with bows and arrows.

22. One of Ragnar's sons grew up to become Kirk Douglas and the other became Tony Curtis with an exotic Bronx accent.

That their descendants would cower in fear and let their women be raped by Muslim immigrants...

“Vikings” is on now, in the other room, as I type this. I have never watched any episode.
For some strange reason, I never liked the promos, or the guy who is apparently the lead character. I do not even watch the promos. What am I missing here?

Dunno but Here’s what I learned by playing Skyrim (close enough)

People love writhing in the filth of their own corruption.

Ragnar the Red won’t be harassing shieldmaidens in taverns anytime soon.

The Cloud District seems to resemble Folsom Street.

There was a rash of disability hiring involving Jarls, former adventurers and knees.

Cat men bleed a lot.

Lydia thinks my memory is bad and my burdens are many.

We need more Lydia in the real world.

Jarl Balgruf of Whiterun was a supreme RINO

Skyrim women are highly nationalistic.

Skooma: It explains Democrats.

It seems that no one in that freaking place can function without me.

Warriors from Hammerfell have curved swords...CURVED SWORDS!!!

There is no foreplay in negotiating with a viking.

I’d rather spend my time watching THE VIKINGS with Kirk Douglas and Tony Curtis.

Or even THE LONG SHIPS with Richard Widmark and Sidney Poitier.

Vikings had power saws, as evidenced by the cuts on their firewood and the ends of the logs used on their buildings!!!

Very similar to how everyone in ancient Rome spoke with an English accent.
