Fat people eating Viking-shaped snow cones…
Children shooting baskets to win stuff berserkers…
Is it true that people today have lost their spirit for fighting and only want to fun?
How could Loki profane the sacred battlefield in this way?
Odin is ready to smash Loki’s skull for his completely travesty of Viking culture, Loki’s Lair, a gaudy amusement park built on the sacred battle plain of Vigrid where the Ragnarok is fated to take place.
Loki tries to seduce Odin with the fun park’s many diversions. But Odin is not interested in skeeball or pinball — and especially not shuffleboard.
But what about Viking foosball?
No, your eyes do not deceive you, Odin. Loki has indeed built a fun park on the sacred plain of Vigrid. Golf, foosball, darts… what are these things? Games, like axe hurling, but safer.
Odin’s blood pressure rises…
Yet another strange red flag on the plain of Vigrid. And another hole in the ground. Could this be a dwarf invasion… or is it the work of an even brasher foe?
Loki finds out that Baldur is seeing a psychologist on Midgard and decides to tease Odin.
Odin explains that Loki is the only god in Asgard who needs to have his skull pried into, but Loki has already been there and done that…
Many winters ago, Loki did some jail time on Vanaheim and had a kind hearted prison psychologist who taught him things about his mind he never new.
Unfortunately, the relationship ended quite suddenly when the psychologist criticized Loki’s deviant lifestyle and Loki tied him to a chair and lit him on fire.
Alas, friends, this is what passes for humor on Odin and Friends
The figure of Loki plays many important roles in classical Norse mythology, not the least important of which is facilitating sex jokes.
Disgusting rodents or crafty ecoterrorists? Squirrels have taken out power grids more than once, and even shut down the NASDAQ. A mighty Hail Loki goes out to these shadow tail reactionaries and ineradicable advocates of darkness (and nuts).
The Viking pantheon is actually composed of two warring tribes of gods, the Aesir and Vanir, who duked it out and then made peace (Odin’s Aesir won, go figure). The Aesir are from Asgard, and the Vanir from Vanaheim. Although Asgard is spoken about in great detail in the Eddas, not so much information is available on Vanaheim, which makes this Girl Scout origin myth all the more plausible.
I mean, doesn’t Vanaheim just sound like a place where Girl Scouts come from?
