The Vilings took every exposed monastery from Lindisfarne to Dublin, ruthlessly sacking them and slaughtering the inhabitants, and when they were finished Ragnar Redbeard announced "all your base are belong to us!"

we cannot use this as an excuse to ignore the hugh contributions of the Moops to Spanish culture. The influence of the Moops, as defined by the prominent scholars
of both our time AND that of others has traditionally been:
"I SPIT upon the Moops, and all that they have laid before us."
Sorry, but it's true. I minored in Moop history.

They may be, but they are also responsible for all those stune circles found throughout Europe -- including Stunehenge.

Like the Vandals, the Vilings are disrespected simply because of an etymological linkage.
The Moops, however, are no Rodney Dangerfields!

Leave it to Beebers."There are those who might wish to hunt you down for a remark like that.
I'd keep an ear cocked for the baying of hounds, if I were you!

There is a GGG thread on Stunehenge. Something about that they used bebers to get the rocks into place.

It was better with the original headline. Now none of our posts make any sense :(

Then I don't need to tell you that the Vilings would have done well to keep in mind what Isabekka of Castike recommended concerning the Moops: "Hit 'em hard when their faces are in the rug, and their asses are in the air."

It was better with the original headline. It's a Viling coverup conspiracy, and it has been going on for hundreds of years.
How many times did you read of the Vilings in school?
None.
What do you know of the Viling contribution to the Constitution?
Nothing.
This proves my case.

Not only that, but a couple dozen of us are going to kvetch like crazy when somebody's search on "Vilings" fails and it's reposted.

Viling hoards must be treasures that make you do bad things.
Only if they are buried twice, then they are Re-viling hoards.

Viling mama to baby boy: "That is an enormous amount of gold! Did you hoard all these coins by yourself?"
Viling boy, "No, sis whored half of 'em during fleet week."
