Haircuts

OOT!*




SOREN THE HARD-OF-HEARING SCRIBE GOT A HAIRCUT!




As I'm sure you know, there are three major styles of Viking Haircuts. Soren, however, is trying to be... 'Hip', and he's been claiming all VIkings haircuts all out of fashion, style, and hygiene. We'v all been scoffing at him, since all vikings are prety dang hip with their haircuts. I mean, its not like we've been keeping haircuts since a 1000 years before!




Oh wait, the time machine incident....




Ok, maybe Soren's right; we've been keeping haircuts since before we got into that time machine. But a MOHAWK? Old dudes like Soren should NOT wear a mohawk. THIS is what Vikings wear:



1.) BRAIDS: You know, that opera-style, fat lady wanna-be-viking singing about LOVE and PRETTINESS? Well, that hair style. Dudes can fly it just as cool as chicks can, TOO.



2.) Afro: Um... only posers have afros. Like Phil the Conceited. But he usually wear in under his helmet, so you can't even see it, which is a blessing for EVERYONE.



3.) Buzzcut: MY HAIR STYLE! The only bad thing about it is that it just helps the other VIkings make fun of me. Since you know... I don't have facial hair. Unlike every other Viking. INCLUDING Lulu the Loud.



I... I... I... IM TOO DEPRESSED TO FINISH THIS!


OLAF THE CRYING BALD SAD MALITTLE MAN!



*In Viking's terms, OOT means 'Oh Our Thor'.

Wooden Pipes

I remembered what I was trying to talk about in the post 'Thoughts' last week! So here we go!

Whenever I'm bored, I go tromping in the woods outside of Urbia, Greenland, grab some hapless stick off the ground, and whittle me stuff. As I've mentioned before, I'm good at that kind of stuff, especially since I've talked about making boats, nun-chucks, and underwear. No, wait, I haven't talked about the underwear part yet. My bad.

Anyway, I figured out that people think I'm unsophisticated. I have no idea where they got this from, but EVERYONE I know seems to think this.

Hold on, I gotta relieve myself.

This is Omar the Bold. He thinks everyone thinks he's unsophisticated because I convinced everyone to say that he's unsophisticated to him today. Bye.

Magic bolded text from Thor that I'm not allowed to read! Anyway, I sat down, and thought, and thought, and thought, and you know what I figured out? There's only one common factor that all sophisticated people share with one another, and that's this: They all smoke pipes.

Now, I don't do drugs, despite the fact that many people think I act like I've had a little too much of the stuff*, so you've got to understand that when I say I've whittled me a pipe, I've whittled a stick into a pipe-shaped apparatus. So yeah. Whenever I want to look sophisticated now, all I have to do is whip out my pipe-looking stick and say things like 'Blimey' and 'Tally-HO!'

I'm just cool like that.

Summer Files: Post Laotogo

Ok, here's what happened after the shocking discovery we made, which I explained in the previous post:

The huge wave dumped all eight of us onto the beaches of Urbia, where we found the families of the fifty some-odd Vikings who perished in the Laotogo attack weeping and wailing for all it was worth. Chieftain Gregory the Hairy stomped off into the woods, where he inexplicitly came back along the shore with a newly furnished boat, which he called the Bloodhound 2, and around fifty more Vikings. It was like movie magic. He then informed the fifty vikings that they were to report to the town pastors, who would quickly marry them to the dead vikings' families. The weeping stopped, and the Vikings fit in like nothing had happened. Gregory then sent a report to Lief the Armless, explaining what we had seen, and what that meant for the world in general.

Our posse (Omar the Bold, Soren the Hard-of-Hearing Scribe, Erik the Red, George the Yellow, Phil the Conceited, and Me) and Lulu the Loud tramped onto the new boat to check it out. As we explored, introducing ourselves to the new crewmates who had remained on board and silently thinking of how, as secondary characters, they might be gone within the week, Erik and Lulu made an announcement that they were going out.

Now, as you all know, once one of your buds in your posse gets a GF (or BF, as the case may be with feminine posses), that GF is automatically inducted into the posse, however temporary it might be. So, Lulu has joined our posse... for now, at least. I guess that means she's probably not going to die, unless its for Erik to work through some intenal turmoil segment. I dunno.

As for me? After the tour, I came to post this post. What does this mean for us as a people, as for all the inhabitants of the world? If the Laotogo really is owned by someone, what sort of power does this someone have? Why is this person allowing the Laotogo to threaten the world? Is this person some super-powered freak with nothing to lose?

If so, we've got a heck of a battle ahead of us.

Good luck, people of the world.

Summer Files: Laotogo 5

Welp, I jinxed us.

This morning, we all woke up, relaxed and refreshed from a sleepfilled night. We all were expecting the Laotogo to leave us alone. But, something was bothering me: Why hadn't we seen it? But, nothing happened for the entire morning, and I pushed it aside.

We ate lunch.

Three hours later, we all felt a large bump against the side of the boat. Everyone ran to the sides to see what was going on, and to our horror, we saw two huge yellow frog eyes, each one a least fifty times bigger than the ship.

Despite all odds, the Laotogo had decided to make its move.

Only five vikings had enough sense to dive off the boat just as the massive frog opened its mouth wide. Four others fell, as I recall, which makes a huge difference. I jumped, carrying only my Duct Tape Monstrosity (My helmet), Nunchaku, Machete (My Father's Battleax has been retired, remember?), and Laptop, the one on which I am blogging you now. Phil jumped, screaming "Not the Face! Not the Face!" And splashed into the water next to me. Omar the Bold tackled Soren the Hard-of-Hearing-Scribe and George the Yellow off the boat with him, those three landing on the other side of the boat, which was the one nearest the Laotogo. Erik the Noisy grabbed Lulu the Loud in a tight bear hug and dove off after Phil. Gregory the Hairy yelled, "EVERYONE JUMP!" and dove off just as the Laotogo's super long, super fast tongue shot out of his open mouth, grabbed the Bloodhound, and sucked it into its huge, froggy mouth. I saw a few vikings fall off, but they were just as quickly devoured.

The ship had just gone over Omar's, Soren's, and George's heads, and they swam over to the rest of us as the two yellow, froggy eyes turned its gaze on us. Everyone stopped, staring quietly back at the frog with a determined expression on their face. Except for Lulu... She was bawling her eyes out in Erik's arms, shrieking "I DON'T WANT TO DIE!" And Phil, who was yelling, "Not the Face! Not the FACE!" And Soren, who was saying, "This is an epic way to die, my friends." And George, who was gasping so loud he was hyperventilating. But besides that, everyone stared solemnly at the beast, awaiting our doom.

The Laotogo burped.

Pieces of the Bloodhound flew from its' mouth, a large chunk landing right beside us. The Laotogo sank beneath the water.

We clambered on, warily looking around for its attack. The eight of us sat shivering on the broken boat piece, looking around for any sign of the huge frog. A minute passed.

Suddenly, the Frog leapt out of the water, soaring high above our heads. Everyone gasped, not for fear of the frog hitting us, since we could tell it was going to make it over our heads, but for the metal band strapped around its back left leg. It had some sort of writing on it that no-one could read, but we all knew what it meant.

Someone owns the Laotogo.

I'm ending the post here for now. Thank Thor for Waterproof laptops, I say. When the frog landed back in the water, it sent up a tidal wave that our little boat piece has been surfing. As far as Soren says, its taking us right back to Urbia, Greenland, which was a brilliant stroke of luck.

Summer Files: Laotogo 4

From the Diary of Olaf the Bald, Day 4:

Everyone is much more relaxed today. It's like a big weight has been lifted off everyone's chests, simply because Gregory the Hairy came into the dining hall during breakfast and announced, "The other scouting ships looking for the Laotogo who were attacked were all attacked during the first three days of looking. The other ships all made it back safely. I think we're good to go, boys."

The entire ship erupted into cheers. I think Phil the Conceited even said 'Good Job!' to someone. It was like a movie, but without any actual action... well, unless you count the Viking Barroom brawl yesterday... without any love... Oh wait, Lulu the Loud and Erik the Noisy did share that passionate kiss during the announcement... and without a happy ending... Oh wait, we're not all going to die! That's happy in my book!

Well, I'm sorry that I've made you all depressed the last couple of days, but I think this Laotogo saga is just about over. Soon I'll be getting back to my regular posts! Hooray! At least until my Bucket adventure two weeks from now. SO, in any case, though I'll still be on the Bloodhound, I'm calling the Summer Files: Laotogo saga over. No more Summer Files for at least a week and a half! Just regular posts without any sort of continuing storyline, just maybe some Advice or Anecdotes!

I overdid it, didn't I?

Overdid=Jink... (said in a whisper...)

Summer Files: Laotogo 3

From the Diary of Olaf the Bald, Day 3:

Still Nothing. The watchman last night, George the Yellow, swears he heard a ribbit just off the right side of our boat, but no one believes him. Well, I take that back. Soren the Hard-of-Hearing Scribe, Erik the Red, Omar the Bold and I believe him. Phil the Conceited might believe him if he wasn't so concerned with himself. Basically, our posse believes him. Everyone else has laughed at George the rest of the time.

It's so INTENSE on this ship. Everyone is being surly and grumpy with one another. It's what happens when your death hangs over you like a knife on a fraying rope. During lunch today, a huge fight including everyone erupted, simply because someone accidentally bumped another person's tray. Only two people died, and we suspect that it their own fault, so no super loss.

A feeling of despair hangs over the air. Something big is going to happen soon.

Very soon.

Summer Files: Laotogo 2

From the Diary of Olaf the Bald, Day 2:

This.

Is.

KILLER!

Everyone is on edge. Even Omar the Bold yelled at me today. He never does that!

Hold on, someone's calling me.

Yes. Yes, I yell at him ALL the time. -Omar the Bold.

Magic bolded text from Thor! Cool! I'd better not look at it!

Anyway, two whole days without seeing the Laotogo just wracks, just WRACKS your nerves, especially when you should have already seen it. For all we know, its deep beneath the ocean surface, just WAITING for a chance to stick out its super long tongue and devour us all. ARGH!

Even Chieftain Gregory the Hairy is worried. You can tell by the way he stands at the front of the boat, clasping his hands behind his back and staring forward. No, wait, what am I talking about? It's the way he stands there saying "I'm worried." Yeah, that's how we know he's nervous, not that other thing.

OH NO I THNK WEVE BING ATTACK!ED

Whoo... False alarm, it was just a log hitting the side of the boat. I don't know if I'm going to be mentally healthy after this...

Summer Files: Laotogo

DISCLAIMER: This post heavily references prior posts. The Author (Olaf the Bald, which is me) recommends you read some other posts before selecting this one. Thank you. Now you can't sue Olaf the Bald (which is me).

The Diary of Olaf the Bald, Day 1:

It's quiet out here on the Bloodhound. Too Quiet.

Now, since this isn't a Diary, but a blog, I can write as though you all are going to be the last ones who read the last thing I wrote, and I don't even have to it in a future tense! But since I'm a good fellow, I'll update you on what's happening on this trip.

Early this morning, Chieftain Gregory the Hairy woke the crew, who had all packed the night before. Every single last crew member came on the trip, including Me, Gregory, Erik the Red, Omar the Bold, Phil the Conceited, George the Yellow, and Soren the Hard-of-Hearing-Scribe. Now, there ARE about fifty other Vikings on the ship, but they're not main characters, so it doesn't matter if they live or die anyway, since they'll be in explicitly replaced in the next scene. You know how these epics are.

Anyway, every single Viking had a grim conscience as they boarded, since all know the Laotogo is deadly, but seeking it out is suicide. For those who don't know, the Laotogo is the largest frog in existance, more dangerous than the Kraken, since it can go on land and go in the water. It has been hibernating for the last thousand years after the most powerful archmages from the nine most powerful classes (at that time) locked it into a giant ice cube. But, it has thawed.

The Vikings are the only class who are still trying to stop the Laotogo, since its only been around forty years (for us) since the Laotogo first attacked, due to our time traveling incident and our skipping over 900 years in the timeline of the classes. But you can read all that in other posts. Basically, the point is, right now, Vikings are the world's last defense to stop the Laotogo from destroying life as we know it, since archmages no longer exist to freeze it.

Every week, the Viking Leader, Leif the Armless, my mentor who took my father's place after he was killed by Joe Ninja, sends out a Viking crew to find out more information for the Laotogo's movements. Many Vikings have died in this attempt alone.

And now its our turn.

For the whole day, we've been steadily patrolling, looking for some sign of the Laotogo, since other Crews say the Giant frog comes near this area, around two hundred miles off the coast of Greenland, where I live, of course.

No sign of the Laotogo so far today, I guess.

Thoughts

Did you know there's a Butts County, GA?

How embarrassing.

I decided recently that It's time to retire my father's battleax. It's getting old, dull, and I want it to stay in pretty good shape as a memory for him. So it's going to go up on some pegs, but I will NEVER, NEVER do what the guy did in this post.

So, what shall help me complete my Wildanceamancer attack style? I have purcha... STOLEN a machete. It shall now be my secondary weapon.

I wanted to say something on pipes...

Um...

Next week: The hunt for the Laotogo!

Boat seats

You know how, in cars, there's always some annoying person who runs up and yells, "I call shotgun!" like It's the best seat in the car and they're cool to have called it first? Yeah, that bugs me. Now, some Viking ships' seats are built in the same way as a normal car. So, there are seven seats in all, and all that junk, with of course, an optional back seat, which means that there's actually five seats. So, whenever some annoying freak pulls out the shotgun routine, don't forget to use this to your advantage.

Annoying Person: I call Shotgun!

You: I call Stungun!*

(If Stungun is already taken...)

You: I call Pistol!**

(If Stungun and Pistol are taken, and there is a back seat...)

You: I call Flamethrower!***

(If Stungun, Pistol, and Flamethrower are taken...)

You: I call Angry Cat Launcher!****

Either way, you are likely to throw everything in that annoying person's face EVERY day. Now, of course, there are two clauses you always need to remember.

Clause A: KNIFE is the best seat. Knife is the driver's seat, obviously, so if you can, call Knife a few hours before the trip. That way, you can still rub it into Mister Shotgun's face.

Clause B: Bazooka is any middle seat.

Now you know everything you need to know to halt that HORRIBLE PERSON who ALWAYS CALLS FREAKIN' SHOTGUN!

Hold on, Phil the Conceited is taking us on a river trip for a few hours in his new Ferrarrivertiblero. I'm sitting Shotgun!

Olaf the BAAAAALD!

*Stungun, of course, is the seat directly behind Shotgun. This is actually good, because you can then annoy the annoying person back, since you're in such close proximity.

**Pistol is the seat behind Knife, which I'll describe shortly.

***Flamethrower is the seat behind Pistol in a ship with a back seat.

****Angry Cat Launcher is the seat behind Stungun on ships with back seats

Summer Files: Post-Atlantis

So, I won! I killed Atlantis!

Though, Thor came to me in a dream last night and explained that mere mortals can't kill Gods, we only just banished him for five minutes. I guess thats good.

The captains of the crews that the other commandos belonged to called Gregory and asked where their crewmates were. I had to explain that Phoenix sacrificed himself to get us out of Jail, Bulldog Rush got killed by Poseidon, Cursive, I accidentally killed, and Genvieve got killed by Thor because I'm annoying. At that point, everytime I told one of the captains that Thor thinks I'm annoying, I burst into tears and blubbered horribly. During my cry-fests, I distinctly heard the captain say, everytime, "Who're they?" Sadly, I couldn't remember which Viking got whcih commando name, so I left it at that.

See ya tomorrow!

Summer Files: Atlantis 4

After I finished writing Summer Files: Atlantis 3, Poseidon was furious.



"I can't believe you spent thirty minutes using the internet! That'll cost me fifty extra bucks this month!" He gasped.



"You have a horrible Internet, then," I said. "Have you tried using Afflack?"



"Isn't that an insurance company?" He asked.



"No, the insurance company is called Keebler," I said.



"Isn't Keebler those tree-elf cookie bakers?" He asked.



"No, that's called Verizon." I said.



"Isn't Verizon a cell phone company?" He asked.



"No, that's called McDonald's." I said.



"Isn't McDonald's that Fast Food place with the Clown as a Mascot?" he asked.



"A Clown? WHERE?" I shrieked, brandishing my Nun-Chaku wildly. Unfortunately, I bashed Cursive in the head, and he died. Hard.



"Technically, Ronald is a Mime," Genvieve began.



"No, Ronald is a wizard!" I shouted as Poseidon yelled, "HA! Your wielder of the Hammer of Thor is dead! Now your lives are forfeit!"



I knew what I had to do.



I ran toward the dead body of Cursive as Poseidon rose into the air, laughing manically.



He swooped down on me as I picked up the Hammer.



He swooped away as I raised it into the air.



He looked at me in confusion as I snapped it in half.



"NO!" I yelled. "Our lives are Parfait! Forfeit is a type of pastry!"



"Oh," he said. "I never knew."



POP!



He had disappeared.



A rumbling sound began to permeate inside the palace. Genvieve yelled, "OH NO! We killed the final boss, and now his death has triggered a chain of explosions that is causing the entire place to collapse around us!"



"Don't be silly," I said. "That's only in video games."



Suddenly, a huge lightening bolt zapped right onto Poseidon's broken throne. I knew who it was.



"Thor!" I yelled. "Tell Genvieve he's wrong, and that ridiculous statement he just said is false, and how you've enlightened me by typing up amazing, bolded things in my posts, things I don't need to know cause I already know, and everyone else does, like how I tried to explain to this European Model here in Summer Files: Atlantis 2!"



"Um," Thor said slowly. "No, Henry the Eighth is right, and I didn't type those things, Oma..."



"Aw darn!" I said. "I coulda sworn I was right! Wait, who's Henry?"


"Olaf, listen to me..." Thor began.



"Genvieve, do you know who this Henry dude is?" I asked. Genvieve was shaking in anger. He whispered, "Let our god speak..."



"Olaf, Oma..." Thor began.



"I know, right? Omar told me of how you blessed my blog with that bolded text!" I yelled. "Isn't he great?"



"OLAF!" Thor yelled.



"Whoa, I'm being yelled at by a god!" I yelled. "Never thought that that would happen!"



"ARGH!" Thor screamed, shooting a lightning bolt at Genvieve, killing him instantly.



"Yeah, I thought he was annoying, too." I said.



"OLAF LISTEN!" Thor yelled. "YOU'RE THE ANNOYING ONE HERE! I KILLED HIM ONLY BECAUSE I COULDN'T KILL YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE DESTINED TO DO SOMETHING GREAT SOON!"



I began to cry.



"Y-y-you think I-i-i-i'm Annoying?" I blubbered.



Thor looked around at the falling palace. "I don't think the Vikings can use this place for land. But, Poseidon lost his home, so that's a plus. Good work, Olaf."



"He thinks I'm annoying!" I screamed. Pointing his hammer at me, Thor muttered some words.



The next thing I knew, I was on the Bloodhound.



"Olaf!" I heard someone yell. Looking up, I saw through my tears Gregory the Hairy. "What happened at Atlantis? Why are you back here?"



"HE THINKS I'M ANNOYING!" I shrieked.



"Yes," Gregory said. "Yes, I do."



I dragged myself to the computer and typed up this post.

Summer Files: Atlantis 3

After Phoenix sacrificed himself to open up the door (he apparently did a Viking Fart, which usually blows the person up into tiny, tiny pieces. Phoenix, of course, no exception) Genvieve, Bulldog Rush, Cursive, and I went pelting helter-skelter through the city, begin chased by the Atlantean Royal Guard. We decided to head straight for the Atlantean Palace, where Poseidon rules with an Iron fist.

Poseidon and Thor used to go way back. They used to go over to each other's pantheons and play B-Ball, some video games, maybe play some Pretty Pretty Princess, they were the best of friends. But one day, Poseidon suggested that HIS trident could beat the Hammer of Thor. Thor was furious. I mean, come one, Poseidon doesn't even have the Spanish version of possession for his trident! And so, Poseidon and Thor became bitter enemies. Which is another reason why we're trying to take over Atlantis. Thor decreed it.

Anyway, we ran to the palace, into the palace, and Assaulted Poseidon. He, of course, is a god, so he only lost like, one hitpoint, before he killed off Bulldog Rush. After an extremely short moment of silence for our fallen friend... A VERY short one, since Poseidon was still coming after us, we decided to call upon the powers of the awesome Thor to help us. The next thing we knew, Cursive's Hammer was glowing yellow, and we knew: The power of the Hammer of Thor had imbued itself into the power of the Hammer of Nathan the Great AKA Cursive. With one mighty blow, the Hammer of Nathan the Great AKA Cursive imbued with the power of Thor destroyed Poseidon's trident.

"OH DANG!" Poseidon said. "My Trident!"

"Now we can destroy you in, like, two rounds tops!" Genvieve said.

At that point, all one million members* of the Atlantean Guard flew into the palace and surrounded us.

"Or, my Guard will destroy you in, like, half a round tops." Poseidon said smugly. Then his face blanched. "Unless you hit the Hammer of Thor on the Floor."

Of course, you know what that meant.

"Hammer Rap"
by Olaf the Bald AKA Skirt-Wearer
Hammer of Thor,
hit it on the floor,
this dude's a bore
Golfers say fore!
One Three is four,
I joined the Corps,
I stole girl your,
Lookit the gore!
Give me more,
kill a boar,
clogged are my pores,
Hear me roar!
As I wickedly freestyled, Cursive hit the Hammer of Thor on the Floor, which immediately killed every single Guard Member and dealt Poseidon 999 damage, which is, of course, the max. Poseidon, weakened beyond belief, gasped, "What do you want? I'll give you anything! ANYTHING!"
The Pie-Eaters assembled.
"We need to tell him to hand over Atlantis for all of the Vikings to use!" Cursive said.
"I agree!" Genvieve said.
I, of course, knew that what they were asking was a horrible idea, so before they could ruin EVERYTHING, I spoke up.
"We want some internet access!" I shouted.

So here we are.

Olaf the BAAAAALD!

*Not an exaggeration. There are exactly one million members of the Atlantean Guard.

Summer Files: Atlantis 2

After the Pie-Eaters and I crashed spectaculaly into the hull of Atlantis, we escaped into the main city. Stupid Genvieve was the one to crash the submarine, of course.

Hold on, Phoenix wants to me to come do some dishes.

This is Henry the Eighth, who Skirt-Wearer for SOME REASON thinks is better called some European Model name. Genviever. Spaw. Anyway, it was Skirt-Wearer who crashed the sub into the

I am absolutely SICKENED by Genvieve! You see that smallified text up there? He wrote that! He was pretending to be a god! Thor, of all people! Ugh! Anyway, I caught him, and soundly thrashed him. Twas awesome. It was easy, too, but what do you expect from aguy named after some European Model.

Anyway, after we got into the city, the hard part was disguising ourselves. We thought itd be cool to use our fishing rods that we brought and catch some of the atlanteans, who of course, look like fish. The plan was that after we caught five, we were going to fillet them and wear their skins over our bodies, but sadly, the Atlanteans claimed they were smarter than that, and threw us in jail for possession of Fishing rods, which is apparently a felony here.We've been stuck here jail all day. Luckily, they provide Internet access, so I'm able to blog. Phoenix is working on a plan to get us out.Hold on, he's enacting it...

Summer Files: Atlantis

As you remember, this next week of the 14th through 19th, I'm infiltrating Atlantis for its spoils with a Team of Crack Commando Vikings, some of the best of the Vikings from all over the world. There's only going to be five of us, and we all are getting commando names.

How do Vikings get commando names? you might ask. Well, its simple.

1.) Everyone writes their name and puts it into a helmet.

2.) Everyone draws a name out of the helmet.

3.) You pick the name for that person.

Here is the team of Vikings:

Olaf the Bald (me) of the Bloodhound.

Frederick the Brave of the Pretty Flower.

Cory the Boastful of the Stormbreaker.

Henry the Eighth of the Europe.

Nathan the Great of the Kids Book.

When I drew my person's name, I decided, in an attempt to show a sense a Camaraderie, to give him a cool name. Here's what happened, in order:

Frederick: Drew 'Frederick'. Commando name given to him by Frederick: Bulldog Rush.

Cory: Drew 'Cory'. Commando name given by Cory: Phoenix.

Me: Drew 'Henry'. Commando name given by Me: Genvieve.

At this point, Henry the Eighth yelled, "WHAT THE HECK? Genvieve? What kind of Commando name is that?"

"I think Genvieve is a pretty name," I said.

"I'm going to SLAUGHTER you," He growled.

"Just draw a name!" Phoenix yelled.

Henry: Drew 'Olaf.' Commando name given by Henry: Hot Chick.

"Isn't that... oh, I dunno... a little Odd... to be calling me a hot chick, Genvieve?" I asked.

"You're right." Genvieve said.

Henry: Drew 'Olaf.' Commando name given by Henry: Skirt-Wearer

"Oh, that's just mean, Genvieve." I said.

"Whatever, Skirts," Genvieve said smugly.

Nathan: Drew 'Nathan'. Commando name given by Nathan: Firebert.

"Now, THAT'S a HORRIBLE Commando name," Genvieve and I said.

At that point, three armless dudes,* a guy who smelled of crap, a wrestleman, a square, a yellow dog, a broom, my old incompetant gym coach, a yellow marshmellow, an emo gray guy, and a conman DOINKED in out of nowhere and proceeded to pound on us until we agreed to not steal their joke. Sastified, they left, and Firebert I MEAN Nathan tried again.

Nathan: Drew 'Nathan'. Commando name given by Nathan: Cursive.

With everyone less than satisfied (Skirt-Wearer? What the heck?) We set off. This was all yesterday. We've only just now arrived via submarine. Its time for me to step off and begin our attack.

Oh, and I also drew the short straw, which meant I got to pick our Team Name and our Team cheer! Here's how it goes:

Me: Shirt-Wearer!

Phoenix: Phoenix!

Bulldog Rush: Bulldog Rush!

Genvieve: genvieve...

Cursive: Cursive!

All: Who is we? PIE EATERS!

Coon Ka-Knockers

Depending on the place, there's always some sort of creature-pest that bugs the living daylights out of you. A favorite for Vikings in the north are Coons, the Ninjas of the Bushtails. Why do we call little Raccoons that? Because Raccoons, like ninjas, are wimps, and hide their true identities from the world and use fake names cuz they is babies.* Like, for example, THIS THING tells you exactly how it is for Ninjas and their obsession to hide their identities.

Anyway, even though we vikings have never been able to figure out how to get a Raccoon's mask off, and since we think that Coons are in Ninjas' employ, We use Coon Ka-Knockers, since Raccoons are so CUUUTE! that we don't want to kill them.

Ahem.

Awkward.

Now, your basic Coon Ka-Knocker is simple: Its some sort of blunt object that you can whack a coon with and not have to worry about it bleeding and dying and losing most of its cuteness while it cauterwauls and screams and excretes everywhere. My favorite Coon Ka-Knocker I ever had was a branch I carved myself into a half-J shape. During the Raccoon attack of 92', that thing Ka-Knocked so many Raccoons that I even named it 'Larry', like all the cool people name their swords in movies. It was only then, after I was polishing it, that Soren the Hard-of-Hearing-Scribe pointed out that I was rubbing me hands all over a dude. Thus, Larry became known as Lucy.

Sadly, a few years ago, Phil the Conceited thought it'd be funny to whack my precious Lucy against a tree OVER AND OVER AND OVER again. You can guess what happened.

Lucy had a beautiful funeral.

Now, I've learned not to get attached to any single Coon Ka-Knocker, since I know that if you love them, they will SHATTER INTO A MILLION PIECES! But we Vikings aren't the only onces who use some sort of Ka-something. Look at what the other classes use!

Bear Ka-Killer

Little Kid Ka-Bonker

Nanobot Ka-Zapper

NO HONOR Ka-Yeller

Bacteria Ka-Cleaner

Leak Ka-Filler

Flaming Ka-Waterer

Letter Ka-Opener

Post a comment**, and if you can successfully place each of the nine classes with its 'KA', then I'll give you a Million***!

How to Kill a Mockingbird: By Lee the Author

No, I am not being paid to advertise this book, I just honestly really like it and think the book should be made known to the public.



Though I usually don't read, I LOVED this book. I mean, seriously? Who can resist something that goes into minute details on Two Thousand and Six different ways to kill a Mockingbird. Its AWESOME! They've got explosions, stabbings, poisonings, siccings, and much, much more. There's even diagrams on every other page. It's brilliant!



My favorite way I read to kill a mockingbird is to give it Pop Rocks and Soda. Now, I know what you're thinking: That doesn't actually work. But listen! Give it the above ingrediants, then show it a website that devotes its entire time to proving that that legend is not legend, but fact. The Mockingbird, believing that blatant lie, will keel over and die. Not from the explosion, but from mental process.



Another good way is to invite it to play a game of twister. Then, while you have left hand and foot on red and right hand and foot on green, 'Lose.' Mockingbird has no chance, no matter HOW skinny you are. I'm talking to YOU, Marilyn Monroe.



Another good one is this: Put a tracking device on its leg, and when its heart stops beating, you realize: You've killed it with NATURAL DEATH!



OOOOOOO!



I gotta go. Some guy named Lee is coming over to pay me a large sum of money for advertising for his boo... AHEM, I mean, some guy named... CHARLES is coming over to give me... PIZZA for breakdancing in his... CLUB last night. Yeah.



On another unrelated note, Imma gonna buy me some STEEL DRUMS after I meet up with Lee... I mean Charles.



Yeah.

Bold Text

I bet you're wondering why there is a Running Gag where I ignore Bolded or italized text that appears mysteriously. Well, here's my explanation:

Omar the Bold, my Homedog, explained to me sometime before I started this blog that Thor loves all blogs, and treats them as his children. But each blogger must follow Thor's rule if they are to become a sweet Viking blogger.

The single rule is this: If text you don't remembering typing appears, ignore it, as it is something Thor wants EVERYONE to know except for you, because you already know it, and if you hear what you already know ONE MORE TIME, you're gonna EXPLODE! LITERALLY!

So ever since then, I've ignored every single typed word that I didn't remember typing, cause Thor has spoken.

Hold on, I gotta go polish up my Apple Pie before Heinz the Fat eats it.

Ha ha ha! Now you know how I, Omar the Bold, has convinced Olaf to stop reading whatever I say! One day, I may have taken over his blog completely, since my hatred for him rivals the heat of a million suns, which is STRONGER THAN HIS OWN HATRED FOR PENGUINS! AH HA! HA HA! HA!

K, i'm back. Wow, whadaya know! More unrecognizable, non-typed-out-by me words! In the same post I was talking about it in! I guess this is a good place to stop.

Brootar

Even though I am a percussionist, I think one of my favorite instruments is the Brootar. The Brootar is like an air guitar, but instead of it being air, I'm strummin' a broom. Though it lacks any specific Instrumental talent to play it, It DOES allow me to excercise my beautiful singing voice.

Hold on, I need to go sweep the floor, on Chieftain Gregory the Hairy's command.

This is Omar the Bold. Olaf is the worst singer ever. Thank you.

Magical bolded text! I better not read it. Anyway, the funnest thing to do with a Brootar is to ask one person what tune, and another what topic. My favorite one is this:

Tune: All star by Smash Mouth.
Topic: Penguins.

I really hate all penguins
I wish they would all die now
If I had a nuke I would use it
On Antarctica cuz penguins are dumb,
and I hate them and when
I see one, I start to kill it.

Well, some say I have problems
Guess I can't blame 'em
When my ship heads off to the zoo,
We get kicked out cuza penguin goo,
guts and blood, of course, goo is,
Though I'm sure you've already guessed that.
If I didn't hate penguins I'd die.
If I didn't hate penguins I'd cry.

Hey now, I hate penguins,
You hate Penguins?
Heck, YES!
Hey now, I kill penguins,
You kill Penguins,
Deep breath
And all the glitters is blood
coming from the penguins disembodied heads.

ENd sonG.

So, it continues on like that. Its pretty sweet, and some of my lyrics get some laughs from my other Viking bros. For example, when I sung about how a Sorcerer burnt his eyebrows off to the tune of Mary had a Little Lamb, the bros wouldn't stop laughing for days. Here is the song, in uncut glory:

Tune: Mary had a Little Lamb
Topic: Sorcery

Smarmy had a little spell,
little spell,
little spell,
Smarmy had a little spell,
He wanted to try it.

Smarmy set off his own spell,
his own spell,
his own spell,
Smarmy set off his own spell,
Now he has no eyebrows.

Sorcerors aren't a populare Minor CLass, as you can imagine.
