“Furniture by ikea”

I like my Ikea furniture and household accessories.
It was a breeze to ship from Slovakia, where I bought it, to the Philippines.
Nope. It’s a myth.
Good list. One of my favorite shows
Kittehs are on vacation. You need me to zit somebody?
Indeed. We have a bit as did the vikings
I learned Katheryn Winnick could get a restraining order filed against my stalking her faster than you can say "Ragnar Lodbrok"...
I don’t think your list is exactly fair. I’ve studied Viking weapons, fighting arts and culture for a little while now and so far have found the show to be refreshing in its attention to detail. Not perfect, and I’m sure with some license, but seriously... Altogether it’s a reasonably fair presentation of historical Viking life. The combat sequences have been -far- more accurate than movie swordplay usually is presented.
Rurik the Rude.
Well, I was thinking of checking out this show, but I learned from the commercial that I wasn’t interested. It showed a Viking chick carrying a tray of food, but that wasn’t good enough for a Norse feminist. She contemptuously tossed the tray aside and pulled out a sword.
Why serve the men when you can be one of them?
Yeah, that’s historically accurate. /s Sadly, I passed on the show.
It’s a jungle out there.
BTW VIKINGS has been renewed by History Channel for a third season already.
In the history of the Church, not one apostate or heretic was ever punished by crucifixion. And on top of that made to appear like Jesus on the cross complete with a crown of thorns and a lance into the side.
Is it me...or is vikings just sons of anarchy with vikings...
Ragnor reminds me of Jax..
