Summary: Medieval History's new hire will not stop raiding Classics. But Rome's not falling this time, if Jerzy has anything to say about it.

Warnings: Professors trying to imitate human beings, badly.

That was lovely, in a sweet, awkward, nerdy way. I kept snickering all through it.

So, are you a classicist or a medievalist? XD

minty_fish February 15 2011, 00:53:37 UTC

Oh, definitely a medievalist. I've made off with entire cheese platters. Like a Viking.

And thanks! ;)

"Jerzy blinked at his adversary, vaguely disoriented by the heavy scents of wine and wool and postgraduate students."

I died.

This is awesome, awesome, awesome.

PhD programmes are secretly just a contest to see who can look/smell most like an Urban Outfitters/corpse mashup. True fact.

And cheers :D

Oh, yeah. I always think of this strip:

I was giggling like a loon, but that tends to happen when I read your stories.

minty_fish February 15 2011, 01:42:37 UTC

Aw thanks! that made my day.

In this past two months Reg successively shananiganned Classics’ coffee, pastries, printer, copier, stationary, monogrammed pens

It seems Reg's raids have finally succeeded in netting him the prize. Lovely snuggle.

He is indeed the Cnut of Classics ;) Cheers!

Glad you liked it! I tried the cheesy jokes on the people who share my office and they all put on headphones lest I remember any more ;P Clearly you have way better taste in humour.
