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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
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.

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."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Maybe the drinking horns are inserted into Valkyrie cleavage.
Great. Now I want to be a Valkyrie next year for Halloween. I hate late October/early November. Filled with fruitless costume ideas.
Boss just came by to ask me a bunch of questions about stuff. Not only did I not have to hide a browser window, I could answer everything intelligently. I feel this means I should go home now, on this high point.

"Never steal anything that needs to be walked, watered, or cleaned up after."
So cats are cool then? (It's cool to be a cat?)
