Family is forever.

We can choose our friends, but not our family. Think about that, Boody, and then reconsider your situation….

Please don’t judge me by my relatives.

Loki (gender-shifting “brother”) would most likely be more properly referred to as “sibling” or some other gender-neutral term. Although they were always called brother in the Edda, so probably considered correct usage there.

Um…if Odin traded one of his eyes to Mimir, and he has the other following Thor around…?

Odin might be doing more than just keeping his eye on Thor, are any of those birds Huginn and Muninn?

Loki is described as the son of Laufey the giantess and Odin, and only changed gender once to become a mare to lure away a stallion that was helping a giant build Asgard’s wall so the giant would lose the wager that would have won him Freyja for his bride, as well as the sun and moon. In every other story and reference, he is referred to as male. This wasn’t a ’let’s flip a coin for the shape of the day’ thing…

Well, I guess Odin/Wotan has a sight for Thor eyes.

So far David O’Brien is the winner of the “Stephen Pastis I made you groan contest”. Actually that was very funny Mr. O’brien.
