Chaucer update

[hobgoblinn]

Just a quick drive by to rec this return of Geoffrey Chaucer's blog. Thought he'd been dead for several hundred years, and only resurrected to torment English Majors from beyond the grave? Well, you would be mistaken.

Seriously, I have not laughed so hard in Years. Beverage warning in effect, and more than usual too, because the slight unfamiliarity of the Middle English means the joke hits you a little after you read it.

Thanks once again to gillo for turning me on to this blog, which I have put on my flist via a syndicated feed.

And I have a new aim tag, which is long but oddly appropriate for work these days:

Go to Canterburye and light yowerself a clue candle, doctor of theologie.

And in conclusion:

GEOFFREY CHAUCER HATH AN EXTREME BLOG: GO ENGLAND! IT YS RAD!

I will always think of you fondly for your part in introducing me to Chaucer's Blog! It takes me back to the giddy, wee-morning hours of study sessions driven by equal parts caffeine and fear of failure... Nasty, old coffee in the English department Commons... Trying to make a case for a Marxist interpretation of the Nun's Priest's Tale...

*sigh* The good old days!
