… Okay, so for those of y'all who are unfamiliar with the story, basically it goes like this: Loki was bound* by the gods to three rocks as punishment for his involvement the death of the god Baldr. (He killed him, but indirectly, as Loki is wont to do.) The gods then tied a serpent above him, from whom dripped (a burny-type) venom. His wife Sigyn held a bowl above his face to catch the poison, but every now and then it got full and she had to empty it. Her absence caused the venom to hit Loki, and he writhed in pain, which caused earthquakes.
As I got to thinking about this story, I realized a couple of things: 1) they would've driven each other nuts after a few millennia (hence the divorce) and 2) … that snake had to have some sort of salivary defect. All the other snakes probably teased him about it. Thus was born: pathetic dweeb-Shnake.
ANYWAY. In non mythology-related news, we hit an all-time high for comments on the last post — 70! Holy mackerel! I guess it's time to ask: would you guys like your own forum?
*Some stories say that he was bound to the rocks with his son's guts, but since that is gross, I went with chains.
Today's incentive is a picture of Diva and Tia exchanging gifts. Please remember to vote if you're enjoying this story — we slipped from third place yesterday, and Joe was inconsolable. (Really, guys, it's kinda uncomfortable to watch a grown man cry.
