“ No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave”
James Burg, An Enquiry into, Public Errors, Defects and Abuses 1775
I saw some ads for the show and it seemed like something I may enjoy. I'll have to give it a look now that I just finished Dexter and Shameless.
With a name like Ragnar Lodrok, he's gotta pretty much be a badass? For some reason, I can't read a name like that without prounouncing it with the accent of "Lothar, of the Hill People"
If we all threw our problems in a pile, and you saw everyone else's problems-- you'd take yours back.
The Bible is a pretty good series, too....comes on for the next few Sunday nights, prior to Easter.
Pretty sure it's based on actual events, too.

Just watched it. Some inaccuracies, and a lot of conjecture, but generally not bad at all. Course, I know the story..........so I fear that those that don't know it totally will think it's 100% accurate....but still, worth watching.
Taping the Vikings. Have month of March to watch such stuff. Then the Cardinals are on......

I see that it's on Lifetime, and A&E, and History. I think all those "smart channels" are owned by Discovery anyway. I might be wrong. But it's available all over. Just search and record.

Vikings got a little more exciting in the second episode.
We went to a Ft.Wayne D league basketball game, and missed the bible.
