He did it. He finally put a hat on top of a hat

[@mcolville]

Woo! More sagas!

[@ErrantScholar]

Dr. Cowboy Viking likes your book. How geeked are you right now? :P

[@stimpsonjcat67]

The horse on your stocking only has 4 legs.

[@PontusPresents]

This is one of my favourite channels on KZbin, and I'm extremely thankful for all of the information and knowledge you share. I want to wish you a happy new year, Dr. Crawford, and keep up the fantastic work. :-)

[@wolfbananabear]

Your channel is a constant stream of quality content.

[@terminator572]

wolfbananabear I suspect he was high on narcotics

[@lyssamedana2224]

I am a middle aged agraphobic in the UK who had to give up on history university thirty plus years ago through no fault of mine. I can't remember how I fell on your channel but it has sparked up my mind. I love your videos because they have an intellectual self discipline and since watching them I have been looking at the KZbin Channels for places like Yale and other universities. I cannot tell you how grateful I am. You have got me thinking again. Please do not underestimate how far you can reach or the positive influences you can have. My son got me your translation of the Poetic Eddas last year for Christmas and it was perfect. Sincerely, thank you. LM

[@Greensnakeist]

Doc might play D&D, curious

[@ergi7212]

Would be awesome to see him GM a Saga of the Icelanders game on something like RollPlay.

[@UltimateNinjaSrb]

Please make it happen.

[@mcolville]

I should run the Trudvang Chronicles for him when my copy shows up.

[@hoonterofhoonters6588]

Would you mind translating the entire Bee movie script into Elder Futhark for me?

[@ulfdanielsen6009]

Great idea,- but what ever for...?

[@yerdasellsavon9232]

Anglo Saxon futhork might be easier

[@kimberlysamuel474]

I don't have sufficient vocabulary to convey how much my family and I appreciate you and all your work, it's truly enriched our lives. We are of Norse decent and filter through so much false information that many have given up on tracing our ancestors. Bits and pieces of what you say, and how you say it, brings back memories of what our elder relatives have said, words, phrases....Thank you... we are determined to become patrion members...brace yourself...❤️

[@UltimateNinjaSrb]

Happy New Year, Dr. Crawford. :-)

[@ddayehunter]

You're a noble and generous person to share with us here at the bottom of the ivory tower. The support of this channel and yourself as a person and professional is well deserved. We appreciate this channel so much. Keep up the amazing work!

[@theonlylydiayouknow]

The "All the Best" in this video made me audibly chuckle.

[@TheK3vin]

Thank you for everything you do, Dr Crawford. You're an absolute legend!

[@Cyssane]

That Santa hat at the end. :) All the best in 2018, Dr. Crawford!

[@cjcanton9121]

Glad to be a Patron :) you deserve it Dr Crawford, keep doing what you do.

[@mplight2941]

Wow...Well I just found you today because I'm fascinated by language, especially old languages of Europe, early England with the Danes and the idea of sailing through the fjords. Anyway, you're a class act & I appreciate that you are sharing your knowledge. Trucks, guns, Stetsons, nice clothes, sense of humor, highly educated & generous. The kind of man this world needs more of. Thank you.

[@swordskillz1]

Buying your book after I seen it on GrimFrost is how I found your channel

[@saatvikam]

Well now don't I feel like a jerk for making fun of the "sheep" hat. Happy New Year!

[@TheVelvetVixen]

I am 100% Icelandic, born in Gimli, Manitoba, Canada (although most of my ancestors came here so long ago). Not sure if you have heard of our beautiful little Icelandic town in Canada. Well growing up here in Canada, without the Icelandic language, although immersed in our special little Icelandic Canadian culture, I don't know enough about my history, although we are all pretty obsessed with out heritage, and homeland, and so you have helped me to learn some things I doubt I would have found without you. Well I just wanted you to know that I am thankful for your teachings. I would also like to compliment you on your way of speaking, you are very chill, and have a nice rhythm in the way you speak.... and you also seem like you are from the Rockies....very cool.

[@5MARTIST]

Wishing you... All the best

[@tlotus3032]

Good of you to share excellent writers, new and tried and true! The more you share, Dr C., all the more intriguing and familiar you become and hopefully helpful to change how we value knowledge, teachers, culture and the arts in America! Skal, generous mead, and increase to all my fellow learners, teachers, artists, writers and creators in the new year!

[@fugyomom]

Thank you.

[@DesertOwlForge]

Nice videos Dr. Crawford! I really enjoy your videos. I was a huge fan of viking culture. I am originally from Hungary and visited Norway several times. It is good to listen to someone who know so much about the Eddas and Old Norse. Thanks for doing it. Congrats on your first Glock, and just wait until you build and shoot your first AR style riffle.

[@vp4744]

I knew it had to be Dodge 1500 or Ford F-150. Congrats, nice choice. Happy New Year.

[@Kyle-uo5bg]

Happy new years Dr. Crawford! easily my favorite KZbin Channel! I'm about to visit Norway for the first time and I wouldn't have began learning Norwegian and meeting new friends there if it weren't for your videos inspiring me to pursue my interests in history and linguistics. Keep up the great work!

[@firecracker3911]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@stevenhall171]

Doctor Crawford, from my family to you and yours, Happy belated Jól and may your New Year be blessed by the gods and good fortune. I have purchased your books and look to purchase more as you publish them, I also look to become a patron member. I have learned a great deal from you and I thank you.

[@TheGayAva]

I really appreciate this channel best wishes from thermopolis

[@AndersJackson]

I like your discussion about academia and how some scientists hate have students. They see students as an obstacel and not a way of learn and sharing ones understand of ones subject.

[@joelm33]

Amen. Thank you so much

[@kiltedcripple]

You keep doing these great videos, we'll keep watching them. Thanks for your hard work and may the next year bring more challenges to be overcome.

[@diegobenavente5433]

Happy new year! Hope you have a fantastic one! Thanks for sharing all of your content over here and your thoughts on Twitter. Glad to be part of this community

[@thewoundedwarg3254]

Thank you for the videos this year, and thanks for teaching my Vikings class, happy new year

[@thirdscript5525]

Happy New Year Dr.Crawford Thank You For Existing In The Universe :D Keep The High Quality Content Up I Wish You Happiness . Knowledge And Money

[@odinsonthered9226]

Your channel has inspired me to start learning Icelandic and then get into old norse

[@ThatStoicWitch]

Have a very happy new year! I wish you all the best!

[@rejkar]

Hat on a hat! It finally happened. Blwyddyn newydd dda o Gymru.

[@KendraLeeStenberg]

Happy New Year to you, Dr. Jackson Crawford. And also to everyone reading this message.

[@ayszhang]

Thank you for this video :) Really insightful philosophy about academia...

[@skewCZ]

Matt Colville's channel referenced one of your videos in one of his (IIRC, in regards his pronunciation of the D&D Duergar), which is how I got to find out about you. It's so great to see you follow him (or at the very least read a book of his). Oh wait, oh dear, you even list him among featured channels. Did not think I could love you any more, but here you are.

[@tob]

Godt nyår, Dr. Crawford.

[@Quarton]

Wishing you the best in the New Year, 2018! Happy New Year!

[@LivWildStyle]

You the man.

[@moose7252]

Thank you for your videos and Happy New Year!

[@dasmysteryman12]

I do notice that your videos have improved over the months. It caught my eye that it changed from having that classroom feel to it to having your videos set in the great outdoors. I didn't like it at first, but like all things with bad first impressions, I got used to the beautiful backgrounds. I am going to check out those linguistic books you mentioned. I hope you have a great year ahead of you! Nice mug by the way.

[@sanjhak4517]

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to you, Doctor Crawford! I discovered you through a tumblr post, and I have to say you're now one of my favourite youtubers of all time. I hope to continue watching you in 2018! Also my Norwegian friend absolutely adores all of your videos! :)

[@woahmarchane394]

Happy new year! :D

[@timothydoughty8246]

Thank you, Dr. Jackson.

[@jamessimpson9385]

Happy New year Doc Crawford. Thank you for your efforts. They are appreciated.

[@difabricius]

Happy New Year Dr. Crawford, your channel was a delightful discovery!

[@Noone-rc9wf]

I was just reading Hávamál In your translation of the Poetic Edda and I got this notification!

[@digitalbrentable]

I lost it when you lifted the giant mug. I choose to believe it was full of mead. FWIW I'm a massive Colville fan, I came to this channel through him, and now I'm a fan of yours too. I love the neighbourly regard you two hold for one another; it's nice to have some plain old respect and decency on a platform more known for its drama. You two both are role models for me, I only hope I too will one day be as well versed, cordial, and well received as you.

[@Zakiriel]

Happy New Year Dr. Crawford! Looking forward to more videos of yours.

[@nanabijou62]

Happy New Year. May 2018 bring you a multitude of blessings, good health, love, and comfort.

[@leespencer4595]

Happy New Year to you Doc. All the best for 2018.

[@cezarstefanseghjucan]

Happy New Year & All That Is Best, Sir Jackson Crawford! Both to you and your family & keep up the great stuff!

[@Geoffdavison1]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise. We have learnt so much from you. Happy new year Jackson.

[@sunshinesilverarrow5292]

I'm so happy I found your channel this year. Wishing you a "Hyvää Joulua Ja Onnellista Uutta Vuotta!" and "Feliz Navidad Y Feliz Ano Nuevo!" ..as we say at my place.. Hugs & sunshine 🌞 N

[@dcseain]

Thank you for all you do. I learn so much from your channel, and very much enjoy your presentation style. As a gaffer, I was pleased to see the improvements in lighting. Happy New Year!

[@nbattey42]

Thank you for what you do. It enriches my life.

[@thoso1973]

Ønsker dig et godt Nytår! (Wish you a Happy New Year!)

[@geraldwilson3834]

Thank you for what you do here. I so enjoy setting and listening to you videos.

[@arnimellner3357]

thank you so much for continuing and always updating this channel! it's easily my favorite on youtube and makes me excited to study linguistics (probably) next year!

[@gregorymacdonnell7914]

Love your channel Dr. Crawford,please keep the Norse info coming,and have a great New Year!!! Thank you for everything!!!!

[@mattiashallberg6326]

Fun to see a connection to Colville and his book. Happy New Year!

[@Noetic22]

I’m grateful for your channel!! Thanks Doc! All the way from Brooklyn, NY!

[@leifyt]

Great stuff! That is a sweet rifle. I would like to hear more about your glock, I just finished my first custom glock build yesterday. Happy New Year!

[@sherrillknight6697]

Thank you for all you do and for the generous sharing of your knowledge with those of us who would not otherwise have this wonderful opportunity. Also for the book recommendations!

[@LahmOfGod21]

Thank you very much Dr. Crawford for all that you do. Your channel is far and away my favourite - sure helps get through those tedious days at the office. First round is on me if you ever find yourself in Toronto.

[@Parallax3599]

Happy new year! Thank you for teaching us, and making this knowledge publicly available. We all really appreciate it! :)

[@pawpawforhealth]

Thank you for continued efforts at teaching and communicating with us on line. Your presentation skills are truly top notch.

[@colmhain]

You da man, Doc. Happy New Year!

[@Kieran_McNally]

Have a Happy New Year Dr Crawford and thanks for all the hard work you put into your videos.

[@batuffolinabianca]

Thank you Dr Crawford for your interesting videos. I hope to see more videos in the new year.

[@TulilaSalome]

S'true, there is a lot of biased & weirdly loaded stuff about the Vikings (yes, not so correct - Viking Era, or Dark Ages Scandinavia, but whateva) so I do love your channel for objective information free of baggage. Happy slightly drunk new year 2018!

[@scarysota63]

Happy New Year! Thanks for an awesome channel- and for sharing your knowledge!

[@ragnarsigurdsson4061]

Thank you for taking so much for doing all you do.... your lessons have helped me so much......ty ty ty ty

[@cathymadsen2930]

You are the first Patreon subscription I took up. I love your work, I support your efforts to bring these amazing sagas to life. You are an honest and kind person that gives so much to us for free. I hope that one day you can be in a position to do audio books independently of your editors! Keep up the amazingly awesome work!

[@siksjonas1]

Gott nytt år from Sweden

[@seekeroflore1883]

Thank you for everything and a Happy New Year !!!! 🎆🎆🎆

[@brighidrose5940]

I love your work, Dr. Crawford! It's immensely interesting and gives me a chance to expand my horizons into something I wouldn't have had a chance to otherwise. What you say about not locking knowledge in an ivory tower resonates with me deeply. On my days off, my favorite thing is to have my morning tea, work on my latest project, and watch your videos. I appreciate what you do and hope to donate on Patreon soon to support what you do. Happy New Year to you and yours :)

[@gearhead1234]

Great video! If you write a book(s) on learning old Norse, I'll be among the first customers! (Some of the current materials are pretty dry reading.. Lol.. ) Keep up the good work! Cheers 🍻

[@colinp2238]

Thank you Dr Crawford for your wonderful educational and edifying work. I came upon your channel whist convalescing from amputation surgery. I have loved the sagas since I first read of them (along with Aesop) in the Encyclopedia Britannica when I was about 8 and starting reading the Marvel Thor comics. Later in life I obtained a copy of Snorri Sturlson's Prose Edda, I think a translation from the start of the 20th century, and have always craved to learn more after that time. Now I am like a child in a sweet shop (candy store) and own your books which I read with great gusto, entering marginal notes to remind me of things that may arise in my reading. However thank you once again and from cold,wet London (UK) I wish you a happy and prosperous new year.

[@dianaosti8791]

[@tonyjames4927]

Thank you for your videos...very interesting and informative.

[@arielcmjoseph]

I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you.

[@creatureris]

Happy New Year to you! Thank you, Dr. Crawford, I have enjoyed immensely your channel this year and have learned much from you. I look forward to more videos in 2018.

[@tyrvidar]

The cover does look great, good work.

[@jaimecadorette1580]

Happy New Year, Dr. C! Your channel is my favourite 😊 Thank you so much for all the amazing videos you put out!

[@RedBar3D]

God jul och gott nytt år! Greetings from Sweden :-)

[@ranchrods1]

ive learned a ton from your videos :) thanks for putting the topic into something i can use and understand! thanks for being "normal" happy 2018

[@plutoniumZRAGE]

Happy New Year and much thanks for everything you have done. It truly has been a giant help in my study of Norse Language and myth. From the homeliness of the American midwest, I'm wishing you all the best. Unfortunately, I lack a suitable hat to tip.

[@veluniafreitas]

Happy New year! I am really thankful for your videos!

[@nicolecrystal6765]

Wonderful ! its like a dream come true I have always wanted to know EXACTLY what youre talking about I think u are so so so excellent and brilliant I do dearly appreciate you so much thank you TAK for sharing . Happy New year I love that quote pessimist/optimist!they are so lucky to have you good luck in your new carreer love ya !!!!

[@embracing_spirit]

First the hat then the Dodge! What more can a PA hick girl ask for? I enjoyed this video, hearing about your year. After hearing your list of books I suddenly realized I don't read very many male authors, certainly none in fiction. I'm gonna have to write some of those titles down and check them out. Happy New Year. I hope 2018 keeps doling out the blessings.

[@jamesruth199]

Eggnog induced rambling looks good on you 😊

[@scottsanett]

I really want to be his student. BTW Happy New Year from China!

[@marklapolla2638]

God Jul. Jackson, my brother was the director of the language lab, which he built, at La Trobe University until the university went for-profit. So, I completely understand you. If you ever get to Houston, Texas, go to the American Hat Company and ask for Gary, he looks and sounds like Tommy Lee Jones, and have him should you some 50Xs+. I had him make me a brown homburg that I still love and wear all the time. He has lots of doodads as well.

[@melissahdawn]

Highly ironic, that my first inclination was to mention that the way you spoke of the white tower made me think of an old series of books "The Wheel of Time", where the education point of the female witches is Tar Valon where, after being accepted (literally) one must work their way up towards what is called the White Tower and I always imagined the entire place as a cylindrical place with a winding circular staircase, but then you say that you tend towards dislike when it comes to fantasy novels, but teach myth and saga? hmmm, Another reason I would have recommended the books is because after reading I always thought, He must've gotten his ideas from Tolkein.

[@Imagiinae]

Godt nyttår!
