The real knock on him as a Viking is that he was only mediocre at pillaging, raping, burning and looking good in those horn helmets.</p> OK, everybody agrees that Egill Skallagrímsson was great at wrecking monasteries.

I’m sure not asking her, though, because it’s come down to us only being able to exchange recipes lest we get pissy with one another. Different planets don’t make for happy family relations.</p> Well, then, my wingnut sister in SoCal probably knows who he is.

Apparently she hasn’t fucked up a large organization in a couple of years and misses the experience. The only people in Silly Valley who won’t reflexively vomit at the sight of her are the ones who shorted HP stock during her Reign of Error. What she did to one of the greatest tech companies makes you want to strangle yourself with your own uvula.</p> Oh goody, they’re going to run Carly.
