God/Jesus didn't even have to work for his omniscience. He just had it. Odin busted his ass. And he was the god of poetry, which back then basically meant he was the patron of learning, history, and Norse culture.
Idea for a collab journal with TH at some point whenever we fee like it: read Tolkien's The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrún and go over it paragraph (stanza?) by paragraph, chapter by chapter. Discussing skaldic verse vs epic verse (I believe this book is in skaldic verse), the differences/similarites between this and the original, the influence the old Norse legends had on LOTR, etc. Could be fun whenever we have the time.

No, they weren't divine. I just said Roxy would be --- is --- a goddess if she had the two ravens (not crows; get it right! Ra-vens!) seated beside her, as she does. Like a female Odin. Only prettier, sexier and with bigger tits. Apparently. And even more liable to smack us mortals down if we displeased her.
As for the last paragraph, sure: I'll pencil it in for, oh let's say 2034...

I like this one. It's clever and yet retains the overall Trumpness of your previous ones. Trump/10 |
