The scene is the afterlife. In a corner of the great hall in Asgard, there is a group of fallen warriors arguing over who the greatest tactician and most inspiring leader of them all was. Alexander points to his conquest of half the world while barely a man, Hannibal argues that he nearly brought down a superpower using a handful of levies, Ghengis Khan lists his conquests with pride, Nobunaga goes into how he won against twelve-to-one odds at the start of his brilliant career; Gustavus Adolphus, Montrose, Frederick, Napoleon, Zhukov all have their say. Nobody is willing to concede first place.
   At last, they agree that Odin is all-knowing and a warrior god, so they go to ask him; "Mighty Father of Hosts, who was the greatest of all warriors?"
   Later, they are sitting in the same corner, rather gloomily knocking back the hooch and not saying a word. Until eventually Napoleon asks the question that is in everyone's mind:
   "Who the hell is this Fierce Kitty, anyway?"

You do yourself a complete injustice FK !

I mean...I've heard of you....But I'm going to have to Wiki some of the chaps you've mentioned.......Nice one !

To repeat my quote -

Fierce Kitty tis well known your opinion of yourself is far higher than everybody else's.

A gay Valkyrie? That would make her pretty darn butch. Now there's a frightening thought!

Actually, given the usual perception of the Choosers of the Slain as resembling PT teachers....

 

Now we just need the miniatures of butch Valkyries dragging around wee little men - er Leon, start the moulds,  but after you finish the Aztecs of course 

Actually, Brunehilde was a valkyrie and she fell for Seigfried (or so Wagner would have us believe) so they weren't all gay. 

Of course. The Sapphic ones are reserved for those who dis Odin's opinions.

The conversion is much more fun though....

And oo is you to tell us Odin's opinion..

The greatest tactitian ever, of course. Odin says so! Vide supra.

Not sure Odin understood Latin - or tactics either, come to that. 

You're all too funny here - I'm loving this

But he has a beautiful singing voice.

Any god that rides a six-legged horse probably sings castrato.

And he only had one ball.... eyeball
