Doom Porn for February 22, 2014 - Viking Apocolypse

reply to post by FlyersFan


Well - sorry to break it to anyone who wasn't paying attention this past Sunday, but the mighty Vikings got some 41 - 20 doom porn handed to them by the mighty Northwestern Gods of the Sea...that's right:




Just sayin'.

kykweer
Is this only for Europeans? Should Africans be worried too?

From what I understand, this Viking Apocalypse is for the entire world.
Some of the signs are for Europe ... like the extremely cold winter that it falls in.
But I think it's for the entire world .... bwahahahaaaa

ETA ... no, I wouldn't worry about it. We are on 'failure watch' ... no one actually
believes this is going to happen.

You forgot to mention that the vikings would be having a feast of feasts for the last 100 days of their lives. So it doesn`t really matter if the world is going to end, as long as there is an excuse to get drunk=)

And if you had been stockpiling the bottles of "you name it", now would be the time....

Just love these predictions...

From the first post:

Legend has it that on this day, the god Odin will be killed by the wolf Fenrir
- The soil and the sky will be stained with poison and the sea will rear up
- Prior to the apocalypse, three freezing winters would follow each other
- The sound of the horn is supposed to call the sons of Odin to the battlefield, where Odin will ultimately be killed
- All morality would disappear and fights would break out all over the world,
- The wolf Skoll would then devour the sun, and his brother Hati would eat the moon, causing stars to vanish from the sky.
- Norse mythology experts have calculated that this is due to take place on February 22, 2014.
- There will be huge earthquakes, the sea will rear up and the soil and the sky will be stained with poison. - - The Earth will sink into the sea,
- ‘the first to notice shall be man, brother will fight brother and all the boundaries that exist shall crumble.’‘

Me: Hmmm..... We do have some freaky record-breaking winter weather in many countries currently.....

Finally a prediction or actually a series of predictions that will actually come true.

First, everyone now reading this will be dead when the next great Yellowstone volcanic eruption occurs.
Second, everyone alive on the planet on December 4, 2013 will be dead by the time any alien race
reveals themselves to mankind.
Third, We'll all be gone when the Canary islands crash into the sea and send a great tsunami
rushing toward the east coast of the united states.
Fourth, California will not tumble into the sea
Fifth, You will not live to see Jesus come again.
Sixth, We will never all agree on just who the antichrist is or was
Seventh, and my last prediction, we will all pass away before a meteor ends all life on earth.

Now i am sorry to tell you these things because i know life is much more exciteing when
there is danger around every corner, but sometimes, in fact most times life is just boring.

Guys, if any of you here are living in the UK, any country in Europe or in the US, please report here on how winter feels in your country for the next 2 weeks. Are there any lower temperatures, stronger snowstorms and blizzards compared to the usual annual records? Please post here on what the situation around your area is, with pics included, if you don't mind.

Ok...I will kick this off...we've had storm after storm, on the strongest jet stream the Met Office has ever observed, and another rolling in tomorrow. I did make a wee joke in another thread recently about the wind map looking like that bit from Day After Tomorrow, just not quite big enough. Not particularly cold yet, but we usually get the big snow after Christmas, and I believe it's due to start around January 3rd. We've moving house in 2 days time and I have a feeling we're getting out of our just too remote location just in time.

As for Ragnarok...I would say probably not this time. Although last night's dream was about lands of ice slipping into the sea, and I was stranded on a bit of land broken off in wild seas with my little dog.....

It's been bitterly cold here. Not abnormally so, just bitterly cold earlier than it usually is. But since today is a bit warmer than normal ...

I'll hold off on declaring Ragnarok just yet.

MBMASON
I didn't know there was a doom porn horn! You learn something new everyday.

I never knew they had one either. If we blow that horn every month will that mean for the next few years it will be doomsday monthly???

Hi there caitlinfae, thanks for the post and Merry Christmas. As for me, I am living near the equator, so no 4 seasons and no snow in my area, so there isn't much that I could report on winter conditions. Other people currently experiencing winter, for many more weeks well into spring, please be on the lookout for local winter conditions.

The only way the earth could experience three year long winters worldwide could only come from an earth shifted out of orbit. The earth would need to move farther away from the sun for that happen. The earth seems quite stable in its current orbit. The only way I think the earth could be knocked out of its current orbit is from a magnitude 10 earthquake worldwide. That would be the end of us all.

How's that sound for doom porn?

I needed this reminder of why we got a damned Pygmy goat (not really - he's a pet). I need to fatten him up a bit. Of course that might be to my detriment - he's already put hoof dents on the top of my van, and went thru the convertable's top.

I NEED the Doom Porn fix ! I NEEEEEED IT! My precious.....

And why in tarnation did you get that goat? I know.... you need doom in your life.

Viking World Cookbook

Excellent site for those wanting to get started with planning their Viking Apocolypse party.
Viking foods and recipes as well as some pictures on how to present your Viking food.

OKAY .... we are just a couple of weeks away. Get started with party plans.
Get supplies lists ready .... fun fun fun.

So, we should party like it's Thorrablot in Iceland??

Then, finally, the light starts to stay a little longer, the days are a bit warmer. Soon there'll be sheep to tend, crops to plant, fish to catch. But first you want to blow off a little steam, run around the farm a few times in your underwear, and gather the neighbors to feast on what's left of the season's rotten shark meat and charred sheep heads. You'll dance and sing about love and elves and pour shot after shot of thick potato liquor through your beard, thanking Thor that you've survived another winter in Iceland.

It is an end of winter affair, but it's Viking.

I'll have to study up on how to either make or import hakarl, slatur, and hrutspungar. I love it when the names sound as nasty as the reality.

Even in Iceland fish and meat spoil if they aren't preserved, and in the days before electric refrigeration this was complicated by the island's lack of salt. The strong foods served at a Thorrablot--slatur, a haggislike blood pudding, and hrutspungar, or pickled ram's testicles--reflect the tradition of preserving food by smoking, pickling, or burying it. The most daunting example of this is hakarl--rotten shark meat that has been buried on a beach or soaked in water for several months until it turns into something like an overpowering fish-flavored cheese, with a fearsome smell. "Usually, your first reaction is that it's terrible," says Steinsson, who loves the stuff.

So, I need to learn how to cross haggis with blood pudding, come up with some Rocky Mountain Oysters of the lamb variety and pickle them instead of frying them, and catch a Greenland shark and bury it on a beach soaked in water until it rots. Sounds great! I can't wait.

Blood pudding Yum

and blood pancakes

Of course Black Sausage which also has a lot of Blood
makes me wonder if the fact that t has blood made one guy suspicious with the taste but its really GOOOD
In Skandinavia we also eat blood bread.

Still havent seen any doom porn. Very disappointed. Not even an apocalyptic boob.

Marvel should have held back the DVD/BluRay release of Thor: The Dark World until Feb 22 and tied some viral marketing into this event...
"Watch as the heroes of Aasgard battle for their survival in beautiful high definition, then discuss the movie with friends while Ragnarok rapes and pillages the planet"

Of the three things I mentioned, the blood pudding component sounded the least nasty.

The fermented shark just really makes me question what someone had to be thinking the day they came up with that.
