So, how great is Kromm anyway?

How about Fekalus Forsitonus? (Can't find a good English to Latin translator that will do "sh-- pusher".)

You should make it stercus, as in stercus accidit (lit. s*** happens).

I would prefer one of Agemegos´s proposals. But which ?

Usage of both, none or any other title; however, speaks of the diverse and non-intellectually-stifled nature of his Church and is therefore recommended.

Use whatever pleases you and if you can invent a new title every now and again, consider yourself blessed.

'Ruslpóstbani' is the literal translation. With a bit of poetry, we can arrive at better words, like 'Angurdólgr', or Destroyer of Annoyance. Unfortunately, it can also be translated as Annoying Destroyer or even Annoying Pimp, in the modern meaning.

Other ideas are 'Fleskdólgr', 'Fleskbani' or 'Fleskeyðr' (all refer to the destruction of ham). The natural kenning to use then would of course be 'Sæhrímnisdólgr', which refers to the Eternal Boar which is cooked and eaten every night in Valhalla.

Edit: This means that Andhrímnr, chef of the gods in Valhalla and brewer of the holy mead, is most probably an aspect of KROMM.

How like Him to allow Odin to think that he was in charge, all the while KROMM brewed his mead and played Man-to-Man (this was the Time Before GURPS) with the einherjar.

But wouldn't Sæhrímnisdólgr also place Our Line Editor into a precarious place as one of those who are destined to do vital things during Ragnarök? Well, I'm even more astounded by Him Who Is In Canada! Praise Him! Adulate Him! Hail Him Without End!

Adulting away!

KROMM is mighty,
KROMM is good,
when KROMM met Aphrodite,
up rose KROMM's wood.

ALL HAIL KROMM, HE WHO IS THE GREATEST.

Why would we need to put his titles in anything but English or French? I mean, he's in Quebec in Canada, and the languages there are English and French.

But clearly, KROMM must speak in Icelandic when he converses with His Heavenly Hosts, as it is the most perfect and Divine language imaginable.

Stands to reason.

Did not a wise man once say: "If English was good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for us"?

You presume that His Heavenly Hosts speak Icelandic. And besides, HE speaks English and (presumably, since HE does live in Montreal) French, so would not His Heavenly Hosts learn English and French in order to speak to him correctly?
