Wow! Thanks for the kudos everyone; I really appreciate it! I haven't dressed up for Halloween forever, and I have always been a fan of Norse mythology, so I went all out this year and it was alot of fun.
HC, Why does it not surprise me that you ask your wifey to dress up? Have you talked her into the altar boy outfit yet?
Shambler, you hit the nail on the head, I had a shit-eating, gleeful grin on my face because the whole thing came together after much planning and I was on my way out to get...um...errrr..OK I'll just say it - HAMMERED.
Monobeat, the hammer I wielded was a hollow, plastic Marvel comics replica! It was only $20 and weighed a pound or so at most! Get one for yourself and let out your inner barabarian! Muhahahaaaa!!!
The site I bought the hammer and helmet from is here:

They've got some pretty dope-ass retro shit if you ask me.
Cheers all!
