A Moment of Silence Followed by Wild and Joyful Dancing

Today, August 9, is the anniversary of the dropping of the 2nd atomic bomb on Japan. Nagasaki to be exact. Let's have a moment of silence.

Today is also the anniversary of Richard Nixon's resignation. Let's have wild and joyful dancing.

Here's hoping that one day we'll see our current president and vice-president convicted of War Crimes at the International Tribunal in The Hague. Let's have a few moments of fervent visualization of George W's conviction.

Oh Those Crazy Vikings!

Berserk is an Old Norse word that comes from beserker:

...berserkers became frenzied in battle, howling like animals, foaming at the mouth, and biting the edges of their iron shields. Berserker is first recorded in English in the early 19th century, long after these wild warriors ceased to exist.

Well, they still make berserkers up there in the Old North. No wonder heavy metal is so popular up in the high northern latitudes. Like they say, changes in latitude, changes in attitude.

A band named Mayhem showed up with the lead singer wearing a pig's head on his head. No, not the plastic kind that Arkansas Razorback fans have - oh no. It was a real pig head, blood and all. If you want to see what he looked like, just click here. But, let me warn you, I didn't post the picture myself for a reason. Even I have some sensibilities!
