Heere Bigynneth the Tale of the Asse-Hatte.

David Burge, better known as Iowahawk, goes straight from automotive reporting at the Chicago Auto Show to Merry Olde England, making his pilgrimage from Southwark to Canterbury.  Along the way, he regales with An Archbishop of Canterbury Tale, with only the slightest nod of apology to Geoffrey Chaucer.  Only a hotrod fanatic from the cornfields of Iowa could concoct such a literary masterpiece.  Read the whole thing here.

Enjoy, Adee.

Note: In reading this, it occurred to me certain commenters on LST are actually using seven-hundred-year-old Middle English.  And to think, all this time I thought they could not spell or punctuate.

    Geoffrey Chaucer and Mark Twain are jiggling with the giggling in their tombs. Bravo.

    #1-3, the hazards of reading this anywhere near the keyboard. Note to those who read comments before reading the main attraction–push your chair well back from the keyboard.

    Burge is a genius, and I don’t use that term lightly.

    Beethoven was a genius. Leonardo was a genius. David Burge is a genius.
