You know, perhaps we should try something different. I propose a regular schedule of sacrifices to the volcano gods. Vacuous celebreties would be best, since even if it didn’t do any good it would at least cheer everyone up a bit!
Madonna’s ours now isn’t she? Might be a bit grissly but the red hot magma should soften her up for the Icelandic Pele.
We might not have enough of our own to satisfy the rapacous appetite of such a mighty power. Can we borrow Sarah Palin for a bit? (note: may not be returned in same condition). That should buy us some time.
Anything we can do to help. Heck, we’ll even throw in Kate Gosselin.

True, you’re forced to whale away on them. (And I know a whale is a mammal.)
Bah. This is merely an instrumental step In Iceland’s plan for recovery. After all, Iceland has a lot of little boats, and We’d be glad to ferry all you losers around for a small fee. (rubs hands together)
I love that Craig Ferguson said the guy is wearing official Scottish clothing…a Hooters sweatshirt.
And I thought the Turbot War was bad…
Dude… the Icelanders are the indigenous people of Iceland. There are no previous cultures. I have Worm the Red ’s word on it.
Of course, that means they’re probably conjuring up primeval land-demons or chthonic fire-elementals or something.
Does anyone know if this is the volcano located somewhat near a church in Iceland? The church (IMS) is the bishopric(?). It’s on the Golden Circle Tour. I cannot recall the name of the church, but it (apparently) has been hit/burned down by eruptions in the past. I wonder if it made it through this one…Worm the Red when he is needed?
Some black humor from Reykjavik:

A joke gleefully repeated since the volcano erupted relates that Britain “wanted cash, but because the Icelandic alphabet contains no letter C, they got only ash.”
Another quip goes like this: “When Iceland’s economy died, its final wish was that its ashes would be spread across Europe.”
That humor is one way Icelanders are dealing with the shock of turmoil in their formerly stable country – and with finding themselves in the unfamiliar position of being cast as villains abroad.
One joke perfectly catches the absurdity of tiny Iceland, which doesn’t even have a standing army, going out to bully the world.
“You mess with Iceland?” goes the gag, in full Mafioso mode: “We shut down all your airports.”
It looks like about a quarter of my wedding guests may not be there, thanks to this stupid fucking volcano - since they’re all attempting to fly from the UK.
British Airways currently claims that next week’s long-haul flights should remain on schedule, but if the wind changes…

Dear Iceland,
What the fuck is wrong with you? When you set up a massive unregulated banking industry to get rich quick we were like ‘ah those poor little guys, all they have are fish. It’s nice they’ve finally got something else going for them’. Then when it goes tits-up you won’t even give us the time of day!
We finally thought we’d come to a gentleman’s agreement about the money, but then you turn around with your ‘democracy’ and ‘referendum’ and back out. That’s totally undignified man.
And now this goddamn volcano! It’s like you’re taking a giant drunken piss all over Northern Europe. We said ‘send CASH’ you cheap cod-buggering Icetards! If our planes weren’t grounded I’d come over there myself and give you the cock-punch you so rightly deserve.
So GTFO,
Aah -this is a clever fake -just to ‘warm up’ those Icelanders --how do I know…? Her ‘Maj’ NEVER uses the term ‘‘man’’ [it would be ‘‘underling’’]
