Return of Evensonian Encounters (Daily Flash #1 2023)


About four on a Friday afternoon, as I was eating my evening Wheaties, there was a loud knock at the door, followed by repeated pressing of my doorbell. I slammed my bowl of cereal down on the coffee table, for in front of the television is where I eat, and grumbled all the way to the door. Whoever was out there didn’t stop holding down the doorbell until I opened the door.

I flung the door open an Read more of this blog post »

G.’s Recent Updates

G. Brown liked a quote
Literature and Gentility in Scotland by David Daiches
“Historically, the language we call Scots was a development of the Anglian speech of the Northumbrians who established their kingdom of Bernicia as far north as the Firth of Forth in the seventh century. This northern Anglo-Saxon language flourished in Lowland Scotland and emerged into a distinct language on its own, capable of rich expansion by borrowing from Latin, French and other sources with its own grammatical forms and methods of borrowing. By the time of the Makars of the fifteenth century it was a highly sophisticated poetic language, based on the spoken speech of the people, but enriched by many kinds of expansion, invention and 'aureation'. Distinct from literary English, but having much in common with it, literary Scots took its place in the late Middle Ages as one of the great literary languages of Europe.”

Jason "Once upon a time a guy came home and found his girlfriend screwing a gnome. But it was okay because the guy was also a gnome and he high fived the other gnome and they had a gnome three-way and just kept chanting "gnome, gnome, gnome." It was pretty rad."

Best Gnome story ever.
