That monk isn't going to be bored anymore when he realizes he's got a Wii remote sitting on the desk right next to him. That shit is FUN.
I'd also like to add that after LOL Manuscripts was abandoned for three months it took me a little less than half an hour to discover a new post had been made. That's kind of a sad comment on how often I check this blog, even when it's on hiatus.
Chantix, the Pfizer manufactured quit smoking medicine is to be definitely opted for if you are eager to get rid of smoking addiction and if you administer Chantix in accordance with the instructions of the doctor, the medication would certainly relieve you from the shackles of nicotine addiction. However, if you don`t follow the chantix precautionary measures while taking the medicine, it is capable of causing tremendous harm to your health. For details on Chantix precautions, visit the website http://www.chantixmagic.com.
Man, it's weird how Chantix came in here and started giving completely mixed reviews about itself. Then I saw the website, which offered up this gem: "Chantix is the new kid on the block, outsmarting the old fag nicotine addiction, with its bag of tricks." There's an NKOTB joke in there that I'm just not willing to make.
Many of you may know of the Internet phenomenon that is LOLCats. Slightly less of you may know how crazy/awesome early modern woodcut illustrations and frontispieces can be. But what joins these two disparate worlds? Well, it may surprise you to know how popular LOL-ing was in the Renaissance. To wit:
"The large Achilles, on his press'd bed lolling, / From his deep chest laughs out a loud applause; / Cries 'Excellent!'" --Troilus and Cressida (1.3.163-5)Shakespearean proof you can't refute! Welcome to LOL Manuscripts! ----------------------------------------- (P.S. I know they aren't all "manuscripts," but LOL Early Modern Printed Materials didn't have the same ring to it. LOLNomenclature! Let it go.)

Erstwhile PhD student in Renaissance studies, then I got an MLS. LOL Manuscripts is how I amuse myself as I scour EEBO for research. I'm pretty confident that it will be accepted as my dissertation.
