Thor the Mighty, Thor the Brave, Scares All the Burglars Away!
The Metalblog is loving the story of a construction firm manager returning from New Year’s Eve fancy dress party scaring off a burglar by charging at him dressed as the Norse god Thor.
The burglar was so scared he jumped out of a first floor (that’s second floor for any Americans reading this) window and left his shoes behind (What a courteous burglar, not wanting to muddy the carpets).
The homeowner was dressed up in aluminium foil and wearing a red cape, just like the real Thor.
We’re guessing the burglar ran because he either thought he was going to be wrestled into the microwave with the homeowner and then electrocuted by the sparks flying off of the foil costume, or because he thought the homeowner would strip off the Thor costume to reveal he was wearing a Manowar costume underneath!
After all, who would be more likely to dress up as Thor than a Manowar fan?
Here’s Manowar performing “Thor (The Power Head)” live in Bulgaria in 2007. He held up his hammer hiiiiiiiiiighhh!



Lol I really dig the silver Dud’es costume, quite peng actually.
