- Title: The Clerk
- Artist: Magenta Platypus
-
Description:
"A clerk from Oxford was with us also,
Who'd turned to getting knowledge, long ago.
As meagre was his horse as is a rake,
Nor he himself too fat, I'll undertake,
But he looked hollow and went soberly.
Right threadbare was his overcoat; for he
Had got him yet no churchly benefice..."
- Chaucer, Canterbury Tales

For those of you Gaians who are well-read, my entry this week will be appreciated (I hope). For those who aren't familiar with Chaucer and his work, please be open-minde - Date: 02/10/2008

I thought of the
Canterbury Tales when I first saw this as your

you should have named this, "the petifial in the
woods" he looks like the love child of michael
jackson and danny devito. this will surely strike
fear into the hearts of any person unlucky enough
to look in its general direction. I myself feel
very displeased with even having to see this ugy
duckling among the great avvies in the arenas.
please never ever submit something so hideous ever
again. Im begging. - Report As Spam
