So you're a runic....spelling nazi?

Nah, just something I'm mildly familiar with. There's several variants of runic alphabets from different times and geographic locations, but there's a few versions that are popular today with people into Norse stuff (of which, believe it or not, there are a few in the heavy metal scene :P ).

Thing is, even if you're just a viking/Germanic fanboi without any Nazi pretensions, using runes immediately puts you in that corner, because this has been strongly co-opted by Nazis and Nazi fanbois - most prominently the sowulo rune for S, modified for the SS:



and the othila for "O", also standing for "inherited land":

It's "strength", spelled in futhark runes.

It's funny,  because the futhark has a rune for the th sound, but he used t and h instead.  :D

Nothing more embarrassing than making a runic spelling boo-boo in the Nazi tattoo on your head.  :(

Why do I have a suspicion that the "thrill" in question is dining at Dolly's Bar and Grill?  :lol:

Yes, but if you play it cool, they'll think you are over 18.  :showoff:

Btw, anyone else remember the pen pal sections in youth magazines like the one advertised on this cover? :D

I'm shocked that you fail to see the thrill of a place that doesn't serve minors. :rolleyes:

I wouldn't want such a thrill.

Even if only adults are served, eating people is wrong.

A friend of mine, an ardent socialist, has a ruinic tattoo....
And had a bunch of nazis absolutely go off it at him for using something that belongs to them :(
