Waving his engorged labrys often provokes that reaction.

I don’t think it was the ear waving but the want for rabbit stew …..

Ummm - a “labrys” is a double-headed axe…

I don’t know about an axe cozy, but he’d make a good scarf. Winter’s coming on. Now where’d I put that Cajun cookbook?
A good sized owl was trying for rabbit in my back yard, last night. Cool.
Could’ve been Tyre, Phoenicians were a strayful lot. Let’s see; die gloriously in battle, wake in paradise, beautiful maidens honour you with a massive feast & send you off to die gloriously in battle. Daily. How did you think those 72 stayed virgins? Them sumbiches ain’t worshiping Allah, it’s Tyr’s fault!

In Michael Crichton’s book “Eaters of the Dead”, he posits a Moslem traveler hitching along with a group of Norsemen as they prepare for a battle (it’s basically a retelling of “Beowulf”). At one point they offer their guest some mead, and he replies “I’m sorry, but my religion forbids that I partake of spirits of grape or grain.” One of his hosts then says “Ah, but mead is made from HONEY!”
Problem solved.
