You are an Anglo-Saxonist geek if you understand this joke one of my minions made yesterday, and a geek on the epic scale if you laugh at it.
Looking at one of the volumes of the ASPR, she said, "Dobbie didn't work on this one; it's just Krapp."
*rimshot*

One day my daughter was complaining that "Drout" wasn't a pretty enough last name for her. I happened to have the Exeter Book ASPR volume on my desk.
ReplyDelete"We could change our name to that." I said, pointing to poor Prof. Krapp's name.
Conversation over.
(and yes, I laughed aloud and am thus an epic geek. Shocking, I know).
I confess! I laughed!
ReplyDeleteThough my favorite is -- about Dobbie: "I hear in this country he is mostly associated with Krapp"
Hee hee...I wear my Geekdom proudly!
ReplyDelete*dies laughing*
ReplyDeleteWell, I groaned, but that's what I do to all puns, so I suppose it still makes me some sort of subspecies of geek.
