Manolo’s Friday Miscellany
Manolo says, here are the few things that may perhaps make you laugh.
“I found those suits annoyed people,” he said. “For some reason, I enjoyed that.”
“Ich am nat oon to tooten myne owen horne, but todaye ich wolde asken yow to declaymen my tales.”

That Chaucer blog is brilliant.
And I love the t-shirts he’s selling. Very funny.
Have a good weekend, dear Manolo.

I love, love, love the Chaucer blog! Although I could only read the first few posts before my head started to hurt. I think I have to take Middle English in small doses.

Oh no. A Chaucer bog. This is dangerous for me at work. It’ll be as bad as when my wife gets a copy of the Sun. Everything stops. Thanks for the link.

From the blog Of Geoffrey Chaucer
Litel Lowys my sone continueth to depely troublen myn herte. For he spendeth alle of hys tyme in hys chaumbre wyth his Exeboxe CCCLX playnge games of muchel violence. And whenne he ys nat killynge thynges on a screne, he listeneth to thys maner of musique called rap or sometymes hip & hoppe. And he careth nat for Boethius nor for the melodies of Machaut and Deschampes, nor euene for myn moste liveli tales of Alisoun and Nicholas. Lette alone the astrolabe.
Ich haue decided that ich shal ginne to wryte some verses of thys rap musique forto gladen myn litel sone and eek to maken othir yonge peple lerne of myn tales. Yt semeth this good felawe hath alredi some musique, but myne rymes shal ben tyghter. What thinke yow of thys projet?
That ys al for nowe.
