LACONIC PROSAIC - Baileywulf

Well, I just watched Beowulf for the zillionth time since I bought it on DVD two days ago.

I take great pride in my Beowulf collection. I have the original poem in two forms, one translated into modern English and the other in the Anglo-Saxon text – both by Michael Alexander. I have two graphic novel adaptations, one by Gareth Hinds and the other by Stefan Petrucha and Kody Chamberlain. I've recently purchased the 2007 Beowulf movie directed by Robert Zemeckis on DVD with a limited aluminium casing and the film's novelisation, by Caitlin Kiernan. I also have two film adaptations – Beowulf and Grendel directed by Andrew Rai Berzins (2005) and the sci-fi version of Beowulf by Graham Baker (1999). I even have Beowulf: The Game based upon the 2007 film and published by Ubisoft. (The game was terrible).

I suppose, to be more true, it should be Tobias in the above strip. But Tobiwulf just doesn't sound as tough. ^_^

Ooooh! I wuv the colours! ^_^

Ummmmm...... I'm afraid that I have not seen Beowulf. ='( I'm a bit behind the times. Besides, I'm really pissed of at a girl named Caitlin. Although, me thinks she spells her name differently. Never tell girls anything. Errrrr! We can call her Beobitch!

Sorry....

I didn't mean to vent in your beautiful submission.

On a good note,....Lost is on tonight!!!! Yay!

But....

You already knew that since today was yesterday in your part of the world.

Yeah, that sounds weird but it's common place on the island.

I really hope that series goes on as long as the Simpson's. I don't think I can take the shock of a cancellation.....

Joy of joys! Laconic Prosaic is back! With snazzy colours! With cool textures! And with Beowulf, of all things! *glomps it*

Awesome :D. I admit that I only saw the 2007 film and read a bit of the translated poem, but it has still lodged in my brain. In the good way ^-^.

Hah-hah.
It's not the world's best movie.
I'm just in love with it because I'm me.
Worth seeing, but not worth rushing to see it.

Damn Caitlins!
Actually, I can't say that I know any personally.

Yay for Lost!
We just had the John Locke episode.
"He wants us to move the island!" GASP!
I think there's only two more seasons after this one.
They say they've planned a beginning middle and end,
And that we're in the middle right now.

. . . I just hope it doesn't because as crap as The Simpsons.
