All hail and greetings! This be Sven, Chair-Master of The Board of Directors here at Spo-reflections. #1 Thrall Urspo tell us certain Spo-fans well over four feet requested conversation. We don’t write as good as he do so I am dictating to my secretary who has permission to make it sound good.
He write often stuff we do not care or understand but it brings tribute we happy. He suggest we take questions and give answers. As Spo says, jolly good fun!
Ask anything! We are Sven, Bjorn, Helga, Snori, #23, Slater-Wotan, Oscar “Bunny” Jarl, Walter Cnut Fafner, and Herbert.
If this fun we do it again!
If no fun we tear off Spo’s yarbles.
Signed, Hlökk
Under-secretary to Sven, Chieftain, The Board of Directors Here at Spo-reflections, T.E.,B.S. etc.

Is Helga available to meet for coffee or perhaps dinner? Um…asking for a friend.

Urspo
Helga: Yes. If you can first beat me in an arm wrestling contest then we take it from there.

Snori: 23 fathers ago a Snori Sturlson wrote our family history and it’s been on the Old York Times best seller list ever since. It never goes out of print. We’ve been called Snori ever afterwards. I am the23rd – 25th according to mother, but she’s including the bastards. I say leave them out. No room for bastards.

How do you deal with the hot climate in Arizona? And please leave his yarbles alone, he’d miss them.

We have never been to the faraway kingdom of or Arizona. We only go to places accessible by sea. We have to, as we aren’t allowed on airplanes thanks to that unfortunate incident on Sabena #367. Oh the embarrassment.

Where did you meet Someone, and how did you know he was the one?

He came to us once in a dream while we were in a dream state as well. “What are you doing in my dream?” we demanded of each other. He asked if we were his some sort of imaginary friends. We told him he’s too old to have imaginary friends. He started scribing in 2006 and needed an editor at the time. It was Fate. They told us they had crossed threads wrong and that was that. We were supposed to meet up with a Joe Rogan but there it is.

I grasped we were speaking to the board of directors , after typing my question. Thanks for playing, a good set of yarbles should be treasured.

What is the answer to the ultimate question – life, the universe, and everything??
September 4, 2021 at 8:35 AM
Urspo
42. Try to tell as many people as you can in town.

why do your helmets have horns? Do you make them yourself?

Herbert: It is custom. We weren’t getting the same effect raiding in beanie boy caps. We get ours from Svartalfheim. They are slow but worth it.

Clearly this is for Snori: how does one use a ‘six cloves of garlic’, as they are rarely the same size? It’s not an accurate unit of measurement.
September 4, 2021 at 8:38 AM
Urspo
Snori: smash them with the flat side of your sword and mix them up and divide by six. This works for eggs too.

Herbert??

Copied/pasted from 7/8/2014:
Herbert – He’s the quiet one on the board, which is saying something. Normally a meeting of the board has the cacophony heard going into one of histories more bloody battles. They are a boisterous bunch, but not Herbert. But still waters run deep. He’s up to no good, that’s for certain. These quiet sorts, Uriah Heeps, all of them. If the Board votes to take me to the chopping block they get Herbert to write the email.

Do you get benefits like paid vacation? If so, would you be interested in being part of my crew in Grand Theft Auto Online?
September 4, 2021 at 9:45 AM
Urspo
Oscar B. Jarl: I looked up this Auto thing. This looks like something I would love to play! I asked Sven to provide funds to provide us with a subscription.
Thralls do not get vacation. They are allowed a wash day once a month whether they need one or not. Generous, no?

Oscar “Bunny” Jarl tell me about your favorite meal.
September 4, 2021 at 9:53 AM
Urspo
OBJ: Þorramatur
Sven: wild boar stew
Bjorn: venison
Helga; tuna fish casserole
Snori #23: Pancakes Barbara
Slater-Wotan: buns and things
WCF: Lundabaggi – when in season.
Herbert: Lobster Thermidor aux crevettes with a Mornay sauce, garnished with truffle pâté, brandy and a fried egg on top, and Spam.

How the hell did Oscar Jarl get the nickname “Bunny”? If the answer involves blood and guts, please disregard this question.
September 4, 2021 at 9:58 AM
Urspo
Sven: no one knows. Oscar Jarl is our elder, the oldest of our group and that’s saying something. He has a vague memory the gods (or someone like them) called him Bunny, maybe out of affection or because he jumped liked spooked rabbit. Anything is better than Oscar really.

The Board of Directors Here at Spo-reflections asks you to expand your question perhaps yes/no type.

What is the Board’s strategy to increase the frequency of scantily-clad blogger selfies on Spo-reflections, and how does the Board intend to enforce this plan? Clearly threats of physical violence do not work — despite such he goes ahead and posts about emery boards anyways.
September 4, 2021 at 12:55 PM
Urspo
Sven: its bloody cold here in Jotunheim. For eight months we are freezing our wrists off. We hope to increase heavily-clad blogger selfies rather.
September 4, 2021 at 5:41 PM
Old Lurker
Fortunately, Dr Spo lives in Arizona, not Jotunheim, and thus does not have to worry about inclement weather. Other than for Snori, I feel there is little demand for scantily-clad Board of Director selfies; this is in stark contrast to the requests made of the handsome psychiatrist.

Will you tell us the real story of how Spo and Someone met?
September 4, 2021 at 12:59 PM
Urspo
Sven: they met on a holiday in Alfheim
Bjorn: no they didn’t it was Key West Florida

Definitely jolly good fun! And yes, keep an eye on Herbert.
September 4, 2021 at 1:55 PM

Herbert: Hey baby! You come here often? Would you like to see my tarnhelm?

Hahahaha!! Oops, no offence, those weapons and things look sharp … I think all my questions have been answered but if Helga could give us his/her recipe for tuna casserole, that’d be a bonus?
September 5, 2021 at 7:58 AM
Urspo
Snori (#23): Ha! The silly cow claims it as her own, a family secret, a recipe passed down from generations to generations. I happen to know she gets hers (and many others) from Johnann, a god of food, on the Tube of Yous. Here it is. Just don’t tell her I did this.
