Forget #RVATank, The New Craze is Viking Longboats

David Streever | August 13, 2018

Topics: craigslist, gwar, rvatank, Vikings

Ever dreamed of sailing down the James in sweet, Scandinavian style? Dream no more; one lucky buyer can now own a handmade, 17-foot long viking longboat, built to one-fourth scale of the originals. The boat is named Svanen, Norwegian for “The Swan,” and bears a graceful, hand-carved swan for a bow. On Craigslist, the boat is pictured flying flags of Norway and Scotland, and comes with a 50-foot sail and two sweeps, or oars, for use when the wind fails.

Of course, it’s not the first Viking boat Richmond has seen. When beloved heavy metal icon Dave Brockie, GWAR’s Oderus Urungus, passed away in 2014, his bandmates and fans gave him the perfect send-off before the annual GWARBQ–a full Viking funeral. His stage costume was laid out in a boat, full of offerings, which was set ablaze by a flaming arrow in Hadad’s Lake. The funeral was held in 2014, and according to the Craigslist ad, Svanen was launched in 2014. Could it have been part of the ceremony, maybe as a secondary boat?

Although we couldn’t reach the seller over email, a connection seems likely; local reddit users say they’ve seen it parked in front of an address on MacArthur Avenue known as The Slave Pit, an artist collective operated by GWAR.

GWAR-related or not, who doesn’t love Vikings? While Vikings have a well-deserved reputation for being brutal raiders–the name meant “pirate raids”–they were also farmers, merchants, and explorers. Women and men fought side-by-side in battle, wearing the same armor and wielding the same weapons, and the Norse seafarers maintained a rich cultural exchange with the Middle East. Noted Persian explorer Ibn Rustah described the Vikings not as barbarian warriors, but as honest, generous people. The geographer wrote, “They keep their clothes clean and the men adorn themselves with armbands of gold… They are generous to each other, honour their guests and treat well those who seek refuge with them, and all who come to visit them. They do not allow anyone to annoy or harm these. And whenever anyone dares to treat them unfairly, they help and defend them.”

If you fancy a new job in raiding or want to prepare for your own eventual passing, you just need $9,000 to meet the asking price. It’s a steep price, but a worthwhile business expense for your future career as a Viking warrior.

The days go by, and Richmonders continue to miss connections! This week, the encounters are more mild(ish, which may speak volumes about how terrible you people are), its but still exciting nonetheless. This week is also a bit heavy on the dudes – dudes for ladies, dudes for dudes, dudes for ladies and dudes – so do us a favor, females of the desperate online world, start throwing yourself out there into the CL abyss.

flirting in steam room – m4m (midlothian gym)

hey dude, hope you see this. it was an evening last week around 8:30-ish. you are a taller guy than me. you had on some Hanes boxer shorts.

we were sitting across from each other in the steam room and I noticed you tried to sneak some glances at my cock, but it was covered; there were various people in and out but we finally ended up in the steam room ALONE where we could dialogue. then, while I was at my locker, you stripped naked and walked up to me with your towel hanging over your shoulder—I noticed you purposely positioned the towel so it was NOT blocking your cock (you WANTED me to see it). I then went to the shower and exposed myself to you. would not have thought in a million years we would have made the type of connection we did! you seem like a nice guy and we have some stuff in common. would love to connect again and explore…

 

I want to make sure it’s you, so answer at least 4 of the following questions:

1) tell me exactly what we have in common for occupation

2) what specific exam are you studying for/taking?

3) what’s your and my specific field (within our common occupation)?

4) what color was your towel?

5) what color was your water bottle?

6) what is the name of the gym?

hope to hear from you dude.

p.s. If you KNOW this post is not referring to YOU, please do not respond!

As students come back from college, summer is officially under way and the missed connections are piling up! Complete with monetized foot fascinations and the occasional furry, these missed connections are sure to set your curiosity ablaze.

Chelsea FWB from a few years back – m4w (Carytown)

This was 2012, I think. You came over to my place the first time. Then I started coming over to your place, we usually fucked and then watched TV. I think we both ended up in relationships soon after. I lost your number a while back, but that was some of the best sex I have ever had! Wouldn’t mind reconnecting

Young guy in apt. on North Cary near elwood thompson I blew – m4m (Richmond)

A few months back I blew you one morning and it was great. You had just gotten out of bed and I came over, got you off and headed out. You are young guy, nice looking, good dick. I am older, in shape but you seemed to get into it. CL email has expired. If you see this and want some head, let me know.

Take advantage of my foot fetish – m4w (rva)

Attractive, fit, guy with a strong foot fetish looking for an attractive and dominant girl who’d be interested in using me to pamper her feet. I’d like to lick the soles of your feet clean, massage them, and paint your toes.

Please change the subject to ‘Pathetic Foot Boy’ or something similar so I know you’re real. I probably won’t respond otherwise. Proper grammar and a picture would be nice as well.
I know it’s Craigslist, but I am sane and I’m just looking for a girl who wants to make money off of my foot fetish.

Thanks!

This past week might have been the Monument Avenue 10K, one of the largest 10K races in America, but that wasn’t the only thing happening this week. There’s always a missed connection to be had when it comes to finding Mr./Mrs. Right…or right now. Read on for this week’s roundup!

We said hello in Carytown tonight – m4m (Carytown)
I was getting in my car and you were walking toward yours (black Corolla, I believe) and we said hello to each other. It was roughly around 8:45. I thought you were really handsome and I was purposefully checking you out. You were wearing a black shirt on top of a shirt with a white collar. I was wearing a long sleeve shirt wand shorts.

If there was something there, shoot me a message. I’d love to buy you a drink and see where it goes from there. Hopefully somewhere that leads to a nice, sexual climax.

Carytown Kroger – w4m (Carytown)

We bumped into each other a few times in the freezer section and then our cars were parked across from each other in the lot. I was trying to work up the courage to give you my number while you smoked a cigarette but you finished it quickly.

You’re really cute and it seemed like maybe you had a little interest.

I hired you soon after you moved to Richmond for school at VCU. It’s been great to see you grow the last 6 years. Happy that you’re doing well. I was always intrigued to learn more about you. Maybe it’s not too late. If this sounds familiar to you, where is your hometown?

As Halloween approaches I am incredibly disappointed by the lack of spooky CL missed connections – there’s plenty of creepy, but not so much spooky.
