As someone with Scandinavian ancestry, HOW did brown-haired Vikings lighten their hair? (I was once blond when as a little whipper-snapper until it naturally browned). As for the bearcat, that was also the mascot of my rival high school: William F. West High School in Chehalis, Lewis County, Washington. http://chehalisschools.org/wfw/about-w-f-west/
Why would Vikings want their hair to appear lighter? Their beard/stach would still be dark (at least as suggested by the picture). Just a “fad” of fashion for them like it often is for us? Or another reason?

Feel like the Bearcat fact is something Linda Richmond would tell us to discuss while she’s verklempt.

The Bearcat (Grumman F8F) was a pretty awesome WWII fighter…
