A Viking ship pushed out to sea, flames licking at its sail and mast as it carries its heroic cargo into the setting sun...the body of a chieftain, surrounded by gold and weapons, dignified in death even as the flames flit around his bier and the smoke obscures his outlines...Ipod the Beautiful, Son of James, slain by mistletoe and mischief, on his burning funeral ship while the Gods weep on the strand...
if we're doing unsuitable stories, my friend works in a shop and a man with parkinson's* tried to pay for a purchase. regrettably his tremor was so pronounced that every time he took five pounds out of his wallet he put it back again. a tortuous five minutes elapsed with my friend trying desperately hard not to intervene, before the transaction was finally completed.
see you in hell.
* i of course appreciate the seriousness and things of parkinsons etc etc.....
I'd better not show D'Arcy that Toy-fu. i jsut bought him that very Viking Lego for christmas and he already covets my iPod...nice use of both household objects tho.

Probably the first comic I've ever read that truly needs a soundtrack. Preferably the theme from Hawaii 5-0.
That was fab.
Is all.

Oh I say. Jolly well done, Woot.
Ah. That brings a tear to the eye the way only an expensive piece of knackered hardware can.
-sniff-
Yes, blokes can relate to hardware so much more easily than to people.
Last week, someone I vaguely know told me he had Parkinson's, and all I could think was 'God, you've got a really annoying voice.'
In my defence though.... um, he has got a really annoying voice.
Which direction is hell? Actually I'll probably find my own way...
That was my lifes piece of creative writing. I think I put it to good use. I can rest now.
Hell is up James. Heaven is warm and full of sins. Much more fun.

It could be worse, instead of having Parkinson's, he could have Wogan's.
Now that really is an irritating voice.
