AEGIR

Norse Sea God
God of the Sea

As with all Sea Gods, he is worshipped and feared by sailors.

​

It always pays to respect watery Gods, especially AEGIR as he has a fondness for dragging ships and men down to his halls. But as he is well-known for his wonderful parties, it could just be his way of avoiding gate-crashers.
His is married to Sea Goddess RAN, and sea froth is caused by his Underwater Brewery. See also HYMIR.

I highlted the main points Robo would be interested in!!!!

The rest of the story


HYMIR

Norse fabulous creature
Giant owner of a giant cooking pot

THOR does have trouble with giants. This one owned the world’s largest cooking pot, which THOR wanted to borrow for AEGIR’s underwater brewery.

​

It was all best buddies to begin with and how about a day’s fishing? So out at sea, HYMIRhooked two whales, and then he found that THOR had chopped off the head off his prize bull for bait.THOR then managed to hook JORMUNGAND the mighty serpent, and had to cut it loose before they were both pulled under and drowned. The best-buddy mood was beginning to sour.
Back on land it got even more out of hand, with drink playing no small part. THOR tried to shatter HYMIR’s special drinking cup which was proving impossible. HYMIR howled with laughter at his futile efforts until THORdashed the cup on HYMIR’s head, the only thing hard enough crack it. After that all hell broke loose, and as usual THOR left a trail of dead giants in his wake.
THOR always claims the fishing story was greatly exaggerated, and HYMIR just fell overboard in fear when he hooked JORMUNGAND. We have a feeling that AEGIR got the cauldron though. You can still see the froth from his beer on every coast. That’s what sea foam is.

Ok, need boy puppy name ideas.  We really like going with the Nordic/German Mythology names (German Shepherd puppy) but all of the ones with great stories either sound bad (Fenrir, Tyr, Ottar, etc.) or are overly used (Thor, Zeus, etc.)  Any ideas?  

We were going to name the new pup Heimdall(r) but it is pronounced HAME-doll and it's just not working for us.

We have Freyja and Odin already.

I knew a Doberman once named Fritz. I liked it.

Heinrich? Heimlich?

Mostly I'd just like you to have to do the loogie sound when you say it. That'd be cool too.

Next week I'm getting my chicks! Marans, Cochins, Isbars, and Bielefelders. @Flowerbh has some eggs cooking. I can't wait!!!
Now I'd just love a brahma or two!

They are on spring break.

I'm waiting for my poultry netting to put over the pens. It's supposed to be here today.

Added these beautiful ladies today. Exchequer Leghorns. Our first white egg layers.

Now we need to start the search for a rooster. The guy sold them cause he couldn't find a rooster locally after he lost his.

I think the ECL are one of the prettiest chickens out there, but sold mine because she only laid a sm/med egg. I need the big ones!

Ughhhhh my bantam Cochin eggs haven't updated since arriving at a facility in Maine yesterday morning. It still says delivery date today, so either it will update later that they will be a day longer, or they'll show up at the doorstep today.

I ordered some eggs from MO. They left the post office there and disappeared. Then showed up at my house 9 days later. Never once did it update and nobody could tell me where they were. I had 1 shipment after that and it left the postoffice in FL and showed up 3 days later but the only updates were; it shipped and it delivered.

Just got back from seeing the movie 10 Cloverfield Lane (again!) Took a friend and she sat there with her fist in her mouth most the movie. You should all go see it. Shocking!

My 13 year old wants to see it. I'm thinking from the previews it should be ok. Is that a correct assumption? (I'm OK with a little language but nothing over the top)

I think I'll pass. My fist doesn't fit in my mouth. Thanks though.
