I haven't read the LJ News comm other than what's been linked by F_W. But somebody linked to a thread I'm still laughing over. It's basically a Pillaging Viking Yo Mama So Fat thread. Oh, and definitely click down into the threads. They start arguing about various Viking responsibilities and ignorance of Viking culture. You'll be glad you did.

This thread makes me wish I had a Viking icon.
