First of all:

Happy Thinking Day/ Founder's Day to any Guides and Scouts out there.

Secondly, I have to link - even though those of you who are interested have probably seen it already - to a newly discovered Chaucer lyric lamenting that brave knight Will Thatcher/ Ulrich v. Lichtenstein (and how on earth did I contrive to forget the Ulrich von Lichtenstein reference in A Knight's Tale? Very embarrassing).

Looking at the blog somehow led me to look at the memorabilia. I'm so tempted to get this to wear to give my saints paper (no, Mechthild wasn't a recluse, but still). If I was a Julian scholar I'd definitely do it!

Although I'm also tempted by the academic peasants' revolt one, even if it is in American terms, or, as a a very obscure tribute to Joseph Wright and Tolkien, this one

I am quite tempted by “All your Aquitaine are belong to us”.

Yes, that one's good, too...

I wish the last one said "I study medieval textiles because that's where the money is." It's so lucrative, she said, rolling her eyes.

It's amazing how few really interesting things are.

Happy Thinking Day! Thanks for reminding me, I'd completely forgotten... oops!

Thanks for your comment on my last post as well, I'm really quite tempted by the idea of it now :)

*is Oxford pusher*

Though, shockingly, this is the closest to an Oxford icon that I've got (it is an Oxford gown, though, as far as I could tell from the episode...)

"the Ulrich von Lichtenstein reference in A Knight's Tale"

Which one? There is a handful... ;)

[tree_and_leaf]

The whole lot..:)

I liked the John Gower (http://www.zazzle.com/jurgen9/product/235900486971581332?ZCMP=ProductPageRecs2) one.
