This girl came into the store last night. She looked like Hayden Panettiere but with pink dyed hair and piercings. She was also sporting a Thor’s hammer. I am hesitant to remark on Thor’s hammers and volknuts when I see them pass through the store because the chance of meeting a potentially interesting Heathen are practically nil compared to the likelihood that the person is either just out of prison and doesn’t have a fondness for brown people or is just into loud music. Since she didn’t seem to be in either of those categories I went ahead and complimented her on it.
Her: Oh thanks. It has a face on it.
Me: I see that. I like that it’s not the standard one everyone wears.
Her: It’d be better if it only had one eye.
Me: How so?
Her: He was one-eyed. Don’t you know anything?
Me: I think you’re thinking of Odin, not Thor.
Her: Same difference.
Me: [after a long, awkward silence] You do King Harald proud.
Her: I don’t get it.
Me: I would have been surprised if you had. Have a nice day. [insincere smile]
