I am pretty sure I just saw Odin at the grocery store. I was walking in and there was this guy with this long white beard, like epically awesome and long. And it wasn't a Santa Claus beard, it was an Odin beard. I couldn't see his beard cause he had this big, worn, wide brim hat on his head that was mostly shielding his face from view, though he had an eye patch over his left eye. Most striking though, other than his size, cause this dude was huge. I don't mean fat, either. Yeah, he had some extra pounds but he was at least 6'6" and had these huge shoulders. This guy was imposing, some might say Norse God Imposing. Most noticeable was that the had a huge walking stick taller than he was made of dark wood. The only thing missing were a pair of Ravens and let's be honest, he probably had them wait outside, you really can't trust ravens in the produce section. Also he was black, which I never knew about Odin before but I can totally see them burying that sort of info in their revisionist histories.
In retrospect I should have talked to him because how often do you meet the father of the Norse Gods? I had no idea what to say though. I loved Walt Simonson's run on Thor? Can he make me a hammer too? I'll admit, I practice a lot of hypothetical conversations in the shower so I'll be prepared if I ever get Spider powers and need witty banter or run into Kristen Bell in a bar but this isn't one I practice. Well, until now.
