.two fic links, more Beokitteh

[aesc]

For reasons of economy:

1: Written for mcsmooch: Office Hours (John/Rodney, Restoration Hardware AU), in which we learn that Rodney's second base is comprehensively stolen.

2: THEY ARE GIRL SCOUT COOKIES. Our fandom brings the crack, and it is good.

3: Because some of you seemed to like it, more Beokitteh, the next twenty-eight lines or so, cut for length.

Beokitteh !2-40a

Afterwards a son was born to him, young in the dwellings, whom God sent as a comfort for the people; he knew the suffering which they had before endured, lordless, for a long time. The lord of Life, the ruler of glory gave to him worldly riches; Beowulf Scyld's son was famous his glory spread widely throughout Scedeland. So must a young man do good deeds with valuable gifts in his father's keeping so that in turn companions remain by him when war comes, faithful to the people; one must be rich in praise among every nation. Then at the fated hour Scyld, the powerful one, journeyed to the Lord's protection. They carried him to the foam-flecked shore, the loyal companions, as he himself ordered when the friend of the Scyldings ruled with words; the beloved lord of the land ruled them long. At the dock stood a curve-prowed ship, icy and travel-ready, the ship of a prince. Then they brought the beloved prince, the giver of rings, to the ship's center, the great one by the mast. Many treasures, rich things from far away were brought there; I have never heard of a fairer ship equipped with weapons and armor, swords and breastplates. Beowulf 12-40a

In other news: I don't know why I haven't done this before now, but I downloaded Trillian, so I'm reliably aesc36 on MSN, Yahoo, and AIM.

[toft-froggy.livejournal.com]

OMG. The cookies. I think I'm blind now. And also I really want cookies.

[stillane.livejournal.com]

Beokitteh! Beokitteh makes my day automatically brighter.

Ceiling Cat. *dies*

[aesc.livejournal.com]

It's true! It's a gnomic statement!

[aesc.livejournal.com]

\o/ Thank you!!!

wharevur taht bes

There are a lot of places and things in Beowulf that are probably unfamiliar to kittehs :D

[aesc.livejournal.com]

Thank you!! "Pimped out" is probably going to become the collocation for all forms of "richly decorated" :D

I <3 you so hard for doing this.

\o/ I've decided to keep translating until I finish, get tired of it, or go insane.

[aesc.livejournal.com]

I told dogeared that it's probably a sign of SGA-induced madness that my first thought wasn't "Oh my God, Girl Scout cookies? Now that's just ridiculous" but "I knew it! I KNEW Rodney would be a Samoa!!!"

[aesc.livejournal.com]

COOKIES.

Just not Thin Mints or Samoas. It would be wrong.

[aesc.livejournal.com]

Yay! I'm happy to hear it... It's quite a bit of fun; certainly a new way to look at a poem (pome) I've been reading for quite a few years now :D

[aesc.livejournal.com]

Thank you! (Is good boat, not failboat!)

[aesc.livejournal.com]

Yay, thank you!

As for random people, if I'm on, chances are I am willing to talk to just about anyone! :D

[raletha.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking English teachers could use this lolcat translation as an interpretive exercise for their students when studying difficult pomes. Srsly.

[aesc.livejournal.com]

That would actually be kind of cool!

[lavvyan.livejournal.com]

I heart you so much right now, it's probably not healthy. *♥s*

[aesc.livejournal.com]

[omglawdork.livejournal.com]

OMG. I love this Beokitteh so hard, for srs. I can't decide if I'm amused or ashamed that I'm conversant enough in lolcat at this point that I can read through it like regular English, no problem.

d00d, wuz bestest ship evar, srsly!!1!

This is the bestest Beokitteh evar, srsly!!1!

[barefoot-chick.livejournal.com]

Come on!!!! They were pimping cookies on every street corner the last time I looked.

You can have Trefoils or the peanut butter ones :D

*snorfles*

[aesc.livejournal.com]

I can't decide if I'm amused or ashamed that I'm conversant enough in lolcat at this point that I can read through it like regular English, no problem.

Possibly both, or alarmed ;) I caught myself about to write "pome" for "poem" God knows how many times.

[monanotlisa.livejournal.com]

There are tears in my eyes, man. Of laughter.

♥

[aesc.livejournal.com]

Yay!!! Those tears are the kind we like ♥♥♥
