From this website:

Dating "beowulf"

One of the topics I usually set as a research paper for my OE students is "Discuss some Problems in Dating Beowulf". Normally I italicize "Beowulf" but this year I got lazy. One of my students served up the following as part of her paper:

TOP 10 PROBLEMS OF DATING BEOWULF

10. Hangs out with dragons.
9. Chain mail rips up bed sheets.
8. Throws his swords around apartment.
7. Wakes up in the middle of the night screaming "She's gonna eat me!"
6. Carries a long knife to compensate for feelings of inadequacy.
5. Only washes twice a year.
4. Experiences mead-induced delusions of grandeur and heroism.
3. Smells like Grendel breath.
2. Freezer full of dragon meat.
1. Leaves the toilet seat up.

Thanks again--bathsweaver @ gmail dot com is my default. And, you know--no rush, utterly at your convenience!

Much appreciated!

It's good there's no rush, 'cause megaupload is taking for fucking ever. (Turned out sendspace free accounts have a 300MB limit; the eps are all about 350)

I tried to send up ep one using megadownload. Did it work?

[bathsweaver.livejournal.com]

Looks like it did! :D :D :D

My pleasure! I've never helped anyone into a fandom before -- I've always been the one drinking the kool-aid. :-) (Not that you needed convincing.)
