Chaucer

And ye maye aske yowerself, 'How do Ich werke thys?'
And ye maye aske yowerself, 'Wher ys that large destrier?'
And ye maye tell yowerself, 'Thys nys nat my beautiful castle!'
And ye maye tell yowerself, 'Thys nys nat my swift goshawk!

Donating is good, just make sure it's going to the right place. Did you know Steven Spohn is raising $1 million for AbleGamers?

Trick or eat?

Is Pac-Man the real monster?

Here's a photo of Rad for your viewing pleasure. He's all sleepy here. He got upset I wasn't patting him so he reached out a paw and touched me. Don't worry, he proceeded to get some quality snugs.

What are you up to tonight? Let us know in the Shacknews Chatty comment thread below.
