The genesis of the "evil Finn" concept- Evil, evil Finland -
Robert Graves described the fearsome germanic weapons of the Roman Emperor's mercenary guards as "assegai" in his I Claudius series.
I've never been able to get to the bottom of whether that was a misquote. It seems to be Zulu.Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..

Bugs, when you have daughters that age, I believe it's generally supposed to be you who poses with the weapons. I only have two boys, and that may well be it, but if the wife ever pops out I girl I'm'a buy me a claymore. Or maybe a rhomphaia, that's the Orthodox version. Then again, I'm part Scottish, so maybe a claymore's okay too.Comment

That's pretty cool.Originally posted by Bugs ****ing Bunny View PostThis is one of my offspring modelling the two assegai my Great-grandfather brought back from the Boer War.

Bugs is a Celt or Pict.
His daughter is innately fearsome and needs no protection. But nice of her to warn mortals.
My sons too are terrifying.Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..
