- Savin Britney.
A send from dear friend simpletwist -
Shows Chaucer no stern moralist,
Who, in his modern blogging dress
Rescues Britney from the Press:
The Press it was that used to drool
At Baby Britney fresh from school,
And like some pervy uncle watch
For every sighting of her crotch
And why do they their hunt pursue
If not for the likes of me and you
The time has come to chase fresh prey
Alas! alak!, and weladay!
For when it comes to mocking folk
I think you'll see, she's past a joke!
I write this as, believe me, Britney's least enthusiastic observer since she was first shoved into the spotlight. But, enough is enough!
This blog is historically and linguistically spot-on, but couched in a dialect six centuries old. On its own terms it works, but I can't for the life of me figure who its audience might be -- five or six medieval specialists maybe, or some babes out-clubbin', who stepped into the Tardis instead of the Metro, and need to know the street-talk for slummin' in the thirteenth century. If the aspect of *potential audience* had been more carefully considered the writer is inventive enough to write for an updated 'Blackadder'. Either way, the choice of mass or minority appeal, lies within the author's ambit. - Savin Britney.

- From the page: '1290 Accounte of Household Expenses of Richard de Stoner: "X poundes for potato crispes III poundes II shillinges for poster wyth a wizard and sum skeletons that sheweth well and fayre vndir black-light IV poundes X shillinges III pens for a balle for to pleyen hackey-sack II shillinges paid to Harold Chillouttent esquire for restraininge of John Stoner who kynde of freaked out a litel"' Now this is funny stuff. Even my English major/professor friends agree.

- My favorite blog, and I've never taken English Lit, never been forced to read Chaucer in school, and thus, never turned off by him. I love it.
