A bit of silliness here. A few months back, Prairie and I went to see Monty Python’s Spamalot when it was here in Seattle. In the programs, where you’d expect to find the show information and cast/creator bios, there was instead very Pythonesque information about ‘Bin Faaarkrekkion’s New Moosical, _Dik Od Triaanenen Fol (Finns Ain’t What They Used to Be)’. The actual Spamalot information was a few pages back in the program, of course. Here, though, for those who may not get to see Spamalot onstage, is the skinny on ol’ Bin Faaarkrekkion.

It’s been a while since I’ve actually said anything on here, hasn’t it? So it goes, sometimes. This past school quarter was a rather unpleasant one, and online babbling became a pretty low priority for me. So, some random updates on the world around me…

Robert Henryson, a 15th-century Scottish writer, went so far as to write a sequel to Chaucer’s earlier work, Troilus and Criseyde, in which he punishes Criseyde for all the things Chaucer had her do to poor, noble Troilus.

I’ve long been a fan of Pulp’s song ‘Common People’. A couple days ago, comic reviewer Chris Sims, in an inspired bit of silliness, set the lyrics to a bunch of altered Archie comic panels. Continuing the silliness, I spent a little time tonight combining Chris’s strips with Pulp’s song…enjoy!

Generally, I’m not a fan of car commercials (there are a few exceptions, but they tend to be few and far between). However, this one from Pontiac is just all sorts of awesome.
