I watched God Helps The Girl and How to Train Your Dragon 2 the other night and they were both pretty good!
The former had a great soundtrack and I really like Emily Browning and Hannah Murray. It's plot was a bit light but it was just really fun to watch. Then, HTTYD2 was a great sequel! My girlfriend didn't like it as much as I did but I am a big Toothless fan and I could watch him for hours being silly and making faces.
I was catching up on some canterbury tales during a break in my basketball game and the Ultimate Hustler rappelled down from the ceiling and said "yo they call you 'middling english' because when you try to put english on the ball you goddamn mediocre at it" and I didn't respond because I was still trying to figure out the insult and then he took the book from me and made a slam dunk with it and said "you eat more ass than in the miller's tale, son" and I said "damn? I guess?"
I just went googling for a half-remembered bit from an old SomethingAwful meme in reference to Geoffrey fucking Chaucer so maybe it's time to call it a night
I had the recommended text (middle english), but I also managed to pick up a translated version and a collection of critical essays from famous authors from a garage sale. That was very helpful.

Why I fear the ocean.

probably could've guessed Chaucer given about 20 mintues though

Yeah, I probably would've gotten the reference from the first verse, but there's no way I would have been able to recite the next verse.
And I've got a B.A. in English lit.
It is horrifying
You might be confusing "High School in America" with "bizarre, Chaucer themed government mind control experiments".
Again.
Why I fear the ocean.
Like they translated it?
Most get their experimenting out of the way in college!
Alt post: Phrasing!
That or it was heavily summarized, I don't remember which
There were no unfamiliar words though
Why would you do that to yourself.
It was worse before.
Despite it being the perfect nerd challenge for me I read the first page and went with the translated version
