Reading through the first messages I thought - Viking - image of a black bird, a cawbie.
Black birds flying from the East were considered an ill omen for a long time - the Vikings used to paint them on the sails of their longships, and come out of the East to do their BPR thing.
So I skip to the last message and - a tattoo of a cawbie.
Interesting! My family name, DuVall, traces it's origins to Normandy and the Normans were Vikings. Coincidence, eh?
