Just thought everyone should know that I recently learned that I’m a direct descendant of a famous Viking, Rollo Hrólfr, the first Duke of Normandy.
Here is my favorite part of his bio:
“The byname ‘Walker’ is usually understood to suggest that Rollo was so physically imposing that he could not be carried by a horse and was obliged to travel on foot.”
Sound like anyone you know?
Guy: “Enjoying the party?”
Me: “Yeah, this is really…”
Guy: “Have you ever been asked to play a Viking in a movie or on TV? You could totally play a viking.”
Me: “Actually, friends send me lots of links of casting calls for…”
Guy: “You really look like a Viking. No offense.”
Me: “None taken, I totally embrace it.”
Guy: “You should have a TV show or something.”
Me: “I have a blog, Very Vocal Viking.”
Guy: “What? Seriously? That’s great.”
Me: “It’s not about Vikings though. Just funny things my kids say and my thoughts on life.”
Guy: “I’d read that.”
I don’t always buy drinking horns, but when I do they’re hand carved by actual heathens. #GenCon2016
