Well, sorry if I made a mistake. . .but to me Apocalypse is conected with the Juda-Christian writings.

Now to answer the question of yet another anonymous neg-repper!

I do not wish to use a term that to me is connected with christianity if there is other words just as good because I am not Christian. . .I am an Atheist!

So it is not something I do because I dislike Christianity more than the other great religions.

Poor Rune.... I laughed so much when I saw Norseman of the Apocalypse but because I too associate it with the Bible I thought some might think its use, not blasphemous exactly but flippant perhaps or a little disrespectful. However it never occured that anyone could think NOT using it would be insulting ....

Hmm, does all this negative repping mean that Rune is a Dread Norseman?

(Actually, I guess that sounds too similar to Mister Underhill's PT.

Would you consider using something with the word "spectre" in it, Rune? That fits in with a ghoulish Downs theme as well as incorporating an allusion to another writer favoured by you.

Sorry, I'm sitting here laughing about Norseman Of The Apocalypse now. Why? It's like a great Monty Python sketch that never was...I can see it now...Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Eric Idle and Michael Palin, dim figures riding in the mist while havoc is being wreaked around them involving demons and ladies of Babylon and whatnot - they come into view with those outfits on they had for the comic Vikings in the "Spam" sketch. "Weeee are the Four Norsemen of the Apocalypse!"

If Rune was to choose this title he would have to add some horns to poor old Marx.

I like Odinic Wanderer because that is what Rune is!

Of course, Norsemen didn't wear such helms.

Amazing! I recommend using that picture in the next issue of the Downer, Hookbill!

Note, this is indeed a genuine Marx quote: A specter is haunting Europe - the specter of communism. Is that where you got it, Thenamir?

Oh I've just spotted this. Marvellous. He looks like he should be saying "The Norsemen have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win. Norsemen of all countries! Unite!"

Brinniel, do add Raynor to your list. He got a very Raynor-ish PT.

I was thinking about using "Spectre of Socialism/Communism" just to give Thenamir a run for his money.
