Scandinoobia

[Salty]

This is how it starts. One frozen, soulless, emotionless white devil at a time. Can you feel it, PD? Can you feel the icy grip of Europe gripping your shoulders, maybe offering a backrub (which over there alway ends in "full release"*)? I can feel it. 

We are losing out Americentrism, people. And sure, they speak English. Sort of. They type English well enough, but I'm sure any well built robot can do that. I can assure you there's plenty of gobbledygook that issues from their chapped lips. And it will haunt your dreams. 

The point is this: MURRICA has PLENTY frozen landscape and people in it. And here comes Waffle Iron claiming to be a terrible ice god or something. That position has been FILLED, sir. 

And THEN, what happens? ANOTHER one shows up out of nowhere. And they'd like you to think they don't know each other, that this is a chance meeting of Scandinavians. Hah. HAH, I say. 

I can see the forest for the densely-packed line trees. I can see because I'm high enough on the globe to see Russia, I can certainly see those Scandis while they plot. 

I'm watching you people. 

You People have the right to have not rights. Murrica has rights because we stole them fair and square. 

I'm watching. 


*OF YOUR LIFE.

Hate to tell you dude, but they've been slowly taking over for some time.

Sepia- Norway
Lenin McCarthy- Norway
Waffle Iron- not only Norway, but willing to visit us
Reeducation-Finnland

And now this Arim, from Denmark

And lets not forget that Trip is from the Belgian part of Scandinavia, along with Regret. Hell, wasn't there a Merkin spag that got absorbed by them? I know there is I just forget which one.


You've failed us as a first warning Alaskan.

There's only one way to settle who is really the terrible ice god of PD. 

THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!

The only Discordian American I know around these parts doesn't hang around the forums, just IRC.

Yes, but time in ICE is cyclical, so we all come back. Again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again

Sounds like the kind of gods we have in Ireland too.

I mean, the gods we had before Jeebus.

They might be related. Kissing cousins or something.

Maybe. Some of our legendary enemies are from Norway (Lachlann, in Boghopper). Also, your gods are misshapen. So are our Fomorians. In fact, one Fomorian only had one eye open most of the time since his other eye killed whoever it was looking at. Except that makes him cooler than Odin, who lost an eye instead of gaining a poisoned one. <--smiley pun

Fomorians must be related to the Jotuns (giants)

They are conceptually the same. Titans basically, to take a Greco-Roman parlance. Except that the Fomorians (Fomhoire, in Irish) are said to basically be from under the sea (Fomhoire= fo (under) muir (sea)). In later myths (when the stories are repeated in theme (except now the gods are Gaels)) the Fomorian types become pirates from a Northern country (our modern word for Norway actually originally referred to this land of pirates. No doubt historical events led to this conflation).

So, the Mythological Cycle= Tuatha De Danann (gods, for lack of better definition) vs Fomorians (ok, demons)
In the Ulster Cycle= Gaels (Irish people) vs Mysterious Northern Pirates Named the Same Thing as Norwegians.

Mysterious Northern Pirates Named the Same Thing as Norwegians.

Best band name ever.

Also. Thanks for the Historics of Irish godliness. I need to read up on it!
