Walmart

The largest retailer in the world, the second largest corporation in the world and now the largest grocery and toy retailer in the USA. When Wal-Mart moves into an area it creates traffic problems and environmental problems. Is known for its bad public relations, slave wages and benefits that match, predatory pricing, use of cheap foreign labor to produce it’s goods in countries such as China, Korea, Philippines, Malaysia, Cambodia, Thailand, and Vietnam, and often employing illegal immigrants for dirt cheap wages here in the USA…all the while advertising it’s phony patriotism.

Known for its large box like appearance and super massive parking lots with no trees. Walmart is crowded with people who do not have the best hygiene and are often overweight due to the excessive junk food they purchase at Walmart. Perhaps one of the worst things Walmart does is to move into an area, drive out all other businesses and then close down, leaving the area decimated.

Walmart is the single largest importer of foreign produced good in the USA. So I guess that’s what they mean when they say in their commercials “Bringing it home to the USA”?

Big-box store

A Big-Box Store is a large, free standing rectangular single floor store built on a concrete slab. They are incredibly wasteful and ugly to look at having no aesthetic value what so ever. Typically have very large parking lots with no trees.

Also sometimes called a superstore, megastore, or supercenter.

Walmart is a good example of a big-box store.

Soymilk

A creamy delicious and healthy alternative to cow’s milk made from soybeans; it contains no antibiotics, hormones, cholesterol, gluten, casein; it’s not linked to cancer and diabetes (like cow’s milk is). Contains powerful antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals such as A, B12, Folate, C, and E, potassium, iron, zinc, calcium, omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids.

Using soybeans to make milk has many ecological advantages. Less land is needed to grow soybeans then is needed for raise cows to produce milk. And because the soybean plant is a legume it replenishes the nitrogen content of the soil.

Tina loves drinking soymilk.

Valknot

The Valknot is the symbol of Odin. It can be described as three entwined triangles that represent Odin’s nature; it’s the knot around a hanged man’s neck, the nine worlds, the nine days Odin hung, the nine valkyries, the nine parts of the soul, and so forth. To wear a Valknot is to pledge yourself to Odin. It is sometimes known as the knot of death and donning it is not to be taken lightly.

I wear a valknot that way when I die, the Valkyries know where to take me.

Kimber

The world's largest manufacturer of 1911 pistols, as well as rifles, shotguns, and much more. Kimber makes some of the best guns on the market; they set the benchmark firearm quality and dependability. They are safe, powerful, accurate, and fast! Kimbers are extremely well-made and therefore a little on the expensive side.

Marines, Special Forces, and LAPD all use Kimbers.

There is no better pistol to have in you hand than a Kimber.

Thrall

A slave kept as livestock in the Viking age.

"They'll burn you up and char you well, and put your feet on the road to Hel. They'll put your ashes in the ground and then they'll raise up a great big mound. And when your names in Runes on a stone...they'll slay a thrall so you won't be alone!"
