Geoffrey Chaucer Hath An Extreme Blog

I think I’m really late to this, because they haven’t posted new material in awhile, but it is nonetheless too awesome and nerdy not to make its way into MC:
-Yf thou were a latyn tretise ich wolde putte thee in the vernacular.
-Ich do deuote myn diligence to studye of the anatomie of engendrure. Ich haue happed vpon an abstruse passage in the werke of Constantyne the Affrikan De Coitu, the which I kan nat construe. For lernynges sake and the goode of wisdom, woldstow performe the acte of venus withe me so that ich may interpret thys clause in propre wise?
-Ich loved thy papere, but yt wolde looke much better yscattred across the floore of myn rentede dorme roome at dawne.
-Art thou a disastrous poll tax? Bycause I feele a risynge comynge on.
-Nyce bootes. Wanna swyve?
There’s so much more. Happy Monday! I’ve got the day off and I’m doin’ this with it. Long is the road, and hard, which leads through darkness up to laundry.

The world needs criminals to
keep the police and politicians
honest. Or, at least, non-violently
deceptive, thieving, and full of shit.
No one looks like a criminal
until they’re sitting behind
the defense table in court.
Then everyone does.

New Collection of… Something.
April 24, 2009
Sorry it’s been three months since the last post, but I’ve been working on a collection of poetry, sketches, and short fiction about Buffalo, un/cleverly titled, “Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.” I’ll post more about it as it begins to lick the afterbirth off its legs and wobble to its feet.
P.S. for everyone interested in sweet weird English-language-centric linguistic example sentences: “Jack while John had had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher.”

The tech sector is officially bleeding jobs with everyone else. I wonder when the food service and preparation sectors will feel the pinch. I wonder when the manager will tap me on the shoulder to have a heart-to-heart in the walk-in cooler about what a good sport I am, about what a good worker I was and where my opportunities lie. I wonder when the financial situation will stop being an excuse for jokey headlines and ironic despair and will start being a chance to fundamentally reshape our economy and make and do things here in America again.
I wonder what will happen if General Motors falls apart. I wonder if we should let it– let the old economy die so the new one can be built to last for the generations to come. General Motors doesn’t have much of a future anyways, the way gas prices are going. They’ve resisted innovation at every turn and were beaten out by companies who– gas mileage aside –simply made a better product. The free market in motion, right?
Behind The Kitchen Door
October 13, 2008
Much apologies for yet another unacceptable extended absence. I’ve been getting myself back on my financial feet, ironically, just as the rest of the world reels from recent kidney punches.
Also, I’ve been working on another project: Behind The Kitchen Door, a biweekly food-service column I’ll be writing for One Big Kitchen. Formerly known as/at Buffalo Buffet, OBK is helmed by Buffalo News staff writer and my former UB advisor, Andrew Galarneau.
The first installment of Behind The Kitchen Door is on OBK’s front page now. It’s a version of a Master Caution post from back in March; all subsequent posts will be original to OBK and available there under the Behind The Kitchen Door tag. Get it while it’s hot.
