A nation of Dryzabones?

Tess summarizes my day, over dinner tonight: You, a straight woman, sat in Sappho Books, with a guy. And discussed comparative grammar. NO BODY DOES THAT!

well I did, and it was enjoyable. And walking back up City Road, I had the pleasure of witnessing a gorgeously eloquent speech on the beauty of medieval- specifically Irish- Christianity. I can only resort to Beowulfian terminology. Wordhord onleac. Unlocked wordhoard. Or that most excellent and sadly-lost of verbs, maðelian. Brenton maðelode, that's what he did.
(so there you go. Beowulf is good for something, if only the description ofgoblinpaladin's powers of eloquence)

I was all prepared to be snarky about the Dryzabone thing, but now I think I'm going to sit here and feel warm and fuzzy, instead.

why, because i said you maðelodest?

[goblinpaladin.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah. I thought I was rather incoherent, actually. Vibrant, certainly, and verbose. But incoherent.

poetical, i says

It is very kind of you to say so, and therefore I may feel warm and fuzzy about it.

[highlyeccentric.livejournal.com]

if you insist.

i don't think you get this. I'm not being *kind*. You're are awesome with words, and i'm mildly awestruck by this.

See my latest post for a response to that.
