Post by maryanimal » Sat Apr 02, 2011 2:22 pm

Ygmir (ig-meer)
Image

from the archaic:

n. the bearer of sweet aromas, reminiscent of the rose

adj. to smell like a rose, pleasant, intoxicating.

verb to produce, or emit, a pleasant, rose-like fragrance.

Ygmir smells fresh today!

Here's to you my friend, as tomorrow is the day we celebrate you!! The amazing person you are! So, let's all raise our glasses and toast Ygmir!

So, on Ygmir Day, I hear that if you say "Rose of the Vikings" three times, in the old Nordic, you can skip the deodorant. And you'll smell like a fresh breeze from the fjords.

Happy Ygmir Day!

I will be working all day arranging emergency transports but 8) the first two hours of my shift were blessedly quiet 8) which I attribute to the benign influence of Himself.

All hail the compassionate power of the Great Ygmir!

Oh the Giant Shrimp walk out of the ocean and up to the mountains on Ygmir Day. That makes sense.

From the first post showing Ygmir in 09, to this post, showing him at his very first burn, he has long plied the playa in his trusty humanity, and endearing smile :D

Happy Y-day. Looks like I may have gifted the wrong person the pink umbrella last year.

Ygmir is a kind and gentle giant, and those who meet him are lucky to survive the experience. ;)
