Honestly it's like getting a tattoo in Chinese... not a great idea. I am proud of the braids though. More to come. I'm pretty sure there's more than one guy out there with "Kung Pao Chicken" tattooed on him. Great looking mallet. Somehow I was expecting something a little heavier though. Quote

Members Caesar Posted February 28, 2018 Members Report Posted February 28, 2018 That thing is AWESOME! I'd be sorely tempted to carry it wherever I go, and bash anyone that gets out of line. Quote

In Norse mythology, the ouroboros appears as the serpent Jörmungandr, one of the three children of Loki and Angrboda, which grew so large that it could encircle the world and grasp its tail in its teeth. Funny thing about mythology. wash, rinse... repeat. P.S.

Funny thing about mythology. wash, rinse... repeat. P.S. It is just you Thanks Mjolnir! I knew there was a Norse equivalent Orobouros, but couldn't for the life of me remember - I even checked my Viking mythology books but couldn't find it at a quick look. There's even a Native American version and if I remember right a Hindu version. Commonalities in mythology throughout the world are a kind of startling at times! - Bill PS Please don't drop your Mjolnir on any airports when it's finished, thanks! Quote
