Also, there's teh part where you have to practice every day for the battle at thr end of the world, which you are guaranteed to lose. Kind of like tailgating for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, except you don't get dismembered at the end of that.
Yeah, you get killed every day before heading back to "Joe's Rib's and Suds" for dinner, and then you get killed in the big battle where Joe's gets destroyed, but it's all a wheel, you know, so the big battle just starts the whole thing over. Like Tampa Bay looking ahead to the next season.
Heh. I'd never fully contemplated the connection between baseball and Norse cosmology, but that explains a lot...
I was never clear if the Einherjar were supposed to be destroyed forever by the battle of Ragnarok, or if they were supposed to return to "life" afterwards and serve the gods who were to start over.
Also, it's harder to get a good Cuban sandwich in Valhalla.
And beer comes in mugs made from animal horns, which means you can't set them down without spilling.
Unless Viking ships have cup holders....

I think the whole point was beer chugging. Who sets down a horn of ale without draining it?
From what I've read, Valhalla was pretty much like ordinary life for a warrior: hang around the mead hall, drink, practice fighting, fight, die. In Valhalla, you get a do-over and over.
Something tells me there were whole aspects of Viking culture that were ignored by
Hagar the Horrible....
I’m pretty sure that you don’t get any pork ribs or beer in the Muslim heaven.

There is much wisdom in Hagar's Guide to Being a Viking (a real book which we own), such as "Never steal anything that needs to be walked, watered, or cleaned up after."
