Happy Holidays to you Grant. Don't forget to go through desk drawers, take pics and report back to us. We'll never te-eellll.

Going over some Chaucer for a brush up.

I was Literature major and somehow missed the Chaucer class. Someday I'll read Chaucer.

Tim Keck was a college junior in 1988 when he started the Onion. He's all of like 43 years old, 44 maybe. He looks more like 30 or 35. And he certainly doesn't talk or act like Ted Stevens or John McCain.

Oh, were you school chums with Keck, then? Because I have some questions.

Well, that's not very helpful. Thanks for offering, though. Happy holidays!

Is it good or bad when your employers have no conceivable way of measuring your job performance?

Craggy! You poor thing! I think you should not only go through the desk drawers, but find an embarrassing/incriminating item from each one, and we can play the guessing game again.

And whan that I hadde geten unto me,
By maistrie, al the soveraynetee,
And that he seyde, "Myn owene trewe wyf,
Do as thee lust the terme of al thy lyf.

Does this mean nine days without a "Traffic Report"? Hellalujah.

I vote for a game of "Mudede or Savage". Every day post a picture of a random pilfered item, and we get to guess which desk it came from.

I hope we get two traffic reports a day. I find them calming.

Merriest of seasons, Grant.

You know, reading Chaucer and drinking bourbon while getting paid does sound like a pretty ideal job. Even if you have to do it in the Stranger offices. :3

Don't know what happened to my copy of Chaucer, but it had the original text on one page and a translation into English on the opposite page. It was the only way to go. That stuff's pretty unreadable otherwise.

@ 22, LOL at "translated into English."

@ Fnarf, you let the littlest things get to you.

Well, I'm happy somebody got the joke.

There's English and then there's English (like texting-pothead the other day...) Personally, I think the only way to really understand (the words, I mean) Middle English is to have someone read it to you in that lovely, sing-songy way...preferably a bespectacled, floppy haired, corduroy trousers wearing English Prof who looks like Hugh Grant.

your shenanigans were one of the highlights of last holiday season. I look forward to them again!

Grant, please trash Megan Seling's desk while she is away. And take pictures. And post those pictures on the internet.

Thank you.

I found Chaucer a lot easier when I read it out loud. Obviously my pronunciation was off from the middle English, but reading the middle English spelling phonetically made it all sound more familiar.

seconding @18's suggestion of "Mudede or Savage?" !!

Hey Brissey ... you done with that Butt Book yet?

@21 No joke. Having never been to the Stranger offices, I can only imagine what it smells like in there. In my mind, it's a haze of PBR and Astroglide.

@23, yes, I know. It's one of my special qualities. And I hate that you put the period after "English" inside the quotation marks.

When you slowly go mad and start setting up mannequins at the desks of your co-workers in their likeness so you have some "company", be sure and get the pants real snug on the Nipper replica; or deep down, you just won't buy it.

@34 - wait, but that's correct. I hate how it looks, but abide by it we must (and talk like my last sentence we mustn't [or that one]).

Please wait...
