I've loved mythology longer than I've loved Dungeons and Dragons, and that's saying something.
There's something about ancient stories of epic adventures that just get my heart pumping. Sometimes it's the catharsis of the tales themselves, and sometimes it's just because their so dang weird.
An evil old hag (with iron teeth!) that rides in a flying cauldron who lives in a hut on chicken-leg stilts?
(Baba Yaga)
You just can't make this stuff up... well, maybe you can, but it's probably not legal and nobody would believe you anyway.
How about this one?:
A delicious meat squeezed into an tube the size of your finger, imbued with forbidden phosphates, and then rolled in an ancient grain that has been ground into a meal, that is then impaled on a shaft of pine, and then plunged into 370 degree boiling fat!
(Corn dog)
