I like to call people on crap that I don't like. Like we have this really stupid firefighter and he's bad for morale, so I pick apart his life strategies all the time when he's flapping his lip.

And there's this other guy who's a freakin' idiot who comes around a lot that I can't stand due to his lifestyle and clothes and attitude, so I find ways to tongue-in-cheek insult him all the time or call him an idiot. I'm sorry, but he is.

[Image: 34qpcte.png] In 975CE, while Haakon Siggurdson was in Denmark, Danish King Harald Bluetooth forced baptism upon Haakon and assigned him missionaries to take to Norway to Christianize the country. When the winds allowed Haakon to sail, he sent them slogging through the surf in shame back to their king and broke all allegiance with Harald, returning to his country and his own gods.

Haakon was defiant until his end in 995, when in hiding, he was killed by his slave, tempted by money from the new Christian King Olaf the Butcher, who turned on his word and killed the slave.

If only today we could be as bold.......
