Viking Metal!!!

Tyr is my favorite viking metal band! This show is gonna be badass! If you're going, lemme know in the comments. If not, get your tickets - everyone should experience a viking metal show at least once.

Toccarsi le palle!

So, I was watching a movie by Jim Jarmusch last night called Night on Earth. It was pretty decent - similar to Coffee and Cigarrettes. At one point, the Italian taxi driver, played by Roberto Benigni - who was apparently ad-libbing many of lines - said "Bad luck! Touch my balls!" (That was what the English subtitle said anyway.) I looked up the phrase. Apparently it's the vulgar, Italian equivolent of "knock on wood" - it's something they say/do when a bad omen appears. Anyway, I thought it was hilarious and just wanted to share... Now you know a new Italian phrase! Yay!
