Tip: Never dance in a lighting storm when wearing a tinfoil thong.
I had a very interesting conversation earlier today. We discussed how humans are capable of amazing feats if they put their minds to it and how pathetic it is that we don't.

Putting your mind to create an amazing feat is irrelevant in the subject of military combat.Also, Sherley housecarls and thegn's are norse and not anglo-saxon. but an interesting example of history, a mad axe swinging naked viking holds off an army for three hours, thus thwarting their surprise attack on the sleeping norse. Not necesscarilly sheer force of will as much as viking berserker being a viking berserker.
They're pretty to look at. They're versatile. You can honk them. You can slap them. You can stick your willy in between them. You can bury your head in them. They produce milk, ideal for a post-coital drink. When accompanied with clothes you can stick a pen or other bric-a-brac between them for storage purposes. They're hypnotic. When in the middle of sexytime and they're shaking and bouncing all over the shop, like some sort of beautiful milky ocean or two boob-shaped aeroplanes experiencing major turbulance.
I don't have time to respond properly right now, so for the moment ill just say the word, "crusades" and leave.
