HWAET! GODEFROY CHAUCERE HATH A BLOGGE!

Discovered a brilliant blog, immediately worth listing on my blog-roll.

To whit:
http://houseoffame.blogspot.com/


The second from the first posting was this:

abbreviaciouns
Oh newfanglenesse! Y have learned the privitees of the manye abbreviaciouns ywritten on the internette. OMG: "oh mine ++DOMINUS++". ROFL: "rollinge on the floore laughinge". IRL: "in reale lyfe." WTF: "whatte the swyve?"


Beinge somethinge of an innovator myselfe, Y presente to yow, churles and gentils alle, the followynge abbreviaciouns. May they serven yow welle in your internette communicacioun:
GP: gentil person
WC: woole customes
XC: Exchequer
BATJG: biggere arsehole thanne john gowere
BSL!: by seinte loy!
OTPBRB: Offe to parliamente, be ryghte back
SNAPFU - BYXCA: supposedely nyce annuitie paymente fuckede uppe by the XC againe
KRBMA: Kynge Richarde II buggynge me againe
AOMSHJDOTBD: anothere of myne servauntes hath just dyede of the blacke death
EISBYMIWATCHDNSTHD: eftsoon I shall be ycleped mad if worke atte the customes house doth not settle the helle downe


Should the authors of this blog attempt a version of The Rime of the Ancient Mariner? I think so. And so do you. Go ahead and tell them so.


NOTE 1. The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor "Old Blatherskite" Coleridge can be viewed here: http://www.personal.psu.edu/users/r/m/rmp5006/rime/rime.html , but remember, it doesn't come in any flavour, it's a bleeding seabird.]

NOTE 2. It was E-kvetcher (http://search-for-emes.blogspot.com/) who in a recent posting brought 'Geoffrey Chaucer Hath a Blog to my attention.

A gitte, gebentshte shabbes, y'all.
