Geoffrey Chaucer hath a flamewar!

Chaucer Gower Flamewar Geoffrey Chaucer hath a flamewar as if you couldn't read the headline.

The boy knows how to get hits: I, myself, picked up a stalker on Perez Hilton's site this week and gained an extra 25% overnight!

On the other hand, fighting with dead people surely can't be as useful as live ones.

Everyone knows zombies don't use the Internet!

They're total Playstation whores!

Here is Gower's arrow; judge for yourselves if it hath drawn blude.

Myn Gentil Gefroi:
Ich am muchel wrothe at thy japes and hostyl wordes, yow seem overe eager to maken me seem a smale and pityeful man.
Whatte hath Ich wroght to maken mine self so displeysing to yow?
Johannes Gowere
ps. my liverie is bettere and ich do notte share it so freelye to harvest the gold of compleat strangeres.

O, pleye the martyr, Mayster Gower. 

May the beste manne winne!

What Would Flying Spagetti Monster Do?

Williams's stance echoes that of the Roman Catholic church

The spiritual leader of the world's Anglicans does not believe that creationism, the biblical account of the world's origins, should be taught in schools. Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, said: "I don't think it should, actually. No, no."

Apparently, the world may have been called into being by the Flying Spaghetti Monster – whose devotees would also like their beliefs taught as scientific theory in American schools.

"I think we can all look forward to the time when these three theories are given equal time in our science classrooms across the country, and eventually the world: one-third time for intelligent design, one-third time for Flying Spaghetti Monsterism, and one-third time for logical conjecture based on overwhelming observable evidence."

Noodly Appendage

What would George do?

Alas, not this George:

George StephanopoulosSigh. I was a charter member of the George Stephanopoulos Fan Club, a contributor to the Stephanopouletter and once actually spoke to him, the man himself, Icon for a Generation George Stephanopoulos at the Vancouver Summit. He was there representing the democratic ideals of good government, peace and justice; I was there representing Starbucks.

I said, "This is Kenya, that is decaf, and these are muffins."

Well, it was early. Maybe he couldn't tell. It was nasty of the Secret Service guy to laugh, though. Asshole.

So, not that George. The dumb one. Right in one:

Jesus, Democrat

Greatest Hits

Well it looks like Metro has taken a page from raincoaster's book and started seeding his blog with provocative, search-engine friendly words to boost his hits. And the little fucker has surpassed raincoaster, something which raincoaster will not forget quickly, yea though aeons should pass and the Earth be cleared off by the Great Old Ones and crumble to the dust which is the substance of the blind idiot god Azathoth, who bubbles and blasphemes at the centre of the universe forever, nope, raincoaster will hold that grudge. raincoaster knows this, for lo, raincoaster recieved six Thirteen! clickthroughs from that goddam post, indicating a hit count comfortably in the three figures at least.

raincoaster is not proud, but raincoaster is too proud to Paris Hilton Sex Tapeseed her blog with the words "naked pictures of Paris Hilton." Well, except to point out to the dear boy that he should also have used "nude pictures of Paris Hilton," "Paris Hilton naked," "Paris Hilton nekkid," "nude pix Paris Hilton," and, of course "Perez Hilton Naked!"

Also, spurn not the Porn tag. She is your friend.
