My Dad just yells from the living room…
“Eh, Eh, Hey Rosanne! You seen this BAYWOLF came out? You know this movie?
“Huh? Oh. Yeah, yeah! You mean, BEOWULF? Yeah. I saw it.”
“Oh, really? How was it?”
“Good!”
“Oh, good. Your professor in on it?”
”Nah. He saw it though.”
“Oh, good.”
I love it. Also, Neil Gaiman was correct — as stated in Smoke and Mirrors, people certainly do mishear Beowulf for the… BAYWOLF? (Caps vital in this case to mimic my father’s extremely loud voice and boisterous German accent)
I’ve heard alot of Beowulf talk these days. Between usual reference, the movie, and Wil’s thesis, Beowulf is a fond conversation topic. Maybe not so fond for Wil. I think he’s about to poke his eyes out.
