The Volcano god is apparently angry - who are we going to sacrifice?

YEAH, BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! Ahem, so do go ahead at your leisure. :slight_smile:

Uh… Honest, I was being facetious when I said that…

Quoting from the article:

"Although seismic activity at the volcano has increased, the ash plume appeared to be shrinking Tuesday. Still, scientists were worried that the activity could trigger an even larger eruption at the nearby Katla volcano, which sits on the massive Myrdalsjokull icecap and has erupted every 80 years or so — the last time in 1918.

“The activity of one volcano sometimes triggers the next one, and Katla has been active together with Eyjafjallajokull in the past,” said Pall Einarsson, professor of geophysics at the Institute of Earth Sciences at the University of Iceland."

Well, at least “Katla” appears a lot easier to pronounce.

Why me?

There’s a nice sort of poetry to tossing Tom Cruise into a volcano. Can we toss in the whole passel of Scientologists?

It’d give it a raging something alright.

Every evil overlord needs a secret base in a volcano, you can scope it out while you’re there.

So you think the Volcano God is angry, and you want to send the one person you know who, as a point of principle, is going to betray your side? :dubious:

Are you telling me that you’re not a trustworthy evil overlord? What is this world coming to? May as well let the angry volcanos have it.

The Norse god of fire, or personification of fire is Logi. All I know about him is that he once had an eating contest with Loki, And managed to beat the trickster by consuming all of his joint of meat, the bone, and the wooden trencher underneath it. However in Norse Mythology lots of other creatures are associated with fire as well, we need to narrow this down. it might be as simple as buying it off with a bottle of mead.

Meh, I’ll go, I have a paper that I don’t want to do so win/win. BRING IT ON!

The volcano is named Voldemort? :wink:

We should throw in televangelists, politicians, telemarketers, Middle Management Executives and Telephone Sanitizers, we should look at this volcanic eruption as Nature’s Garbage Disposal, we’re turning the unwanted into heat, it’s recycling :wink:

Save me a spot. Chaucerian satire on Medieval gender roles can go burn.

Oh hell no. She was the best thing about the last Twilight movie, and she was only in it for a minute or so. If she has a more prominent role in the next one(s), and I don’t know because I haven’t read the books, then I’ll actually be looking forward to them.

Don’t know about real life, but as Cherie Currie, her hot lesbian love scene with Joan Jett (Kristen Stewart) in The Runaways might disqualify her.

Nah, she publicly voiced support for gay marriage, sending a great message to all her impressionable fans and pissing off teabagger types. She gets points for that, enough to keep her from being sacrificed. Come to think of it, why don’t we give the volcano all the teabaggers? And Scientologists.

Your teabags are showing. You might want to tuck them in.

Maybe all these volcanic rumblings are because Craig Ferguson put Geoff Petersen in charge of building their secret volcano headquarters.

I’m sure Geoff isn’t the most handy handyman.

I figured that the best way to communicate with an evil lord of the underworld was to send the evil overlord.

Just chuck in a trillion dollars. Lord knows we’ve pissed it away on more worser stupider stuff.

We’ve already proposed Palin, Berlusconi and ZP…

Yes, but they’re not OPEN super-villains. They don’t believe in evil from a philosophical point of view, as the version of Skald in the universe in which there are angry volcano gods probably does. Palin, assuming she doesn’t get outwitted by the VG, may well say, “Yeah, I can’t really betray America to you, Loki. I mean, all my stuff is there, and a lot of white people too.” Berlusconi’s gonna be hard to outwit, and moreover has limits. But Skald of the Evil Volcano God world is betray humanity for yuks so long as he has time to get his family and maybe a couple dozen Tolkien geeks to safety.
