May 26, 2026: The Wicked Tale Of Wolf-Boy

If you're of a certain mindset, you'll probably see nothing better today than James Harbeck's translation/interpretation of the opening lines of the classic Old English epic poem Beowulf into the vernacular of Western Canadian English. I cannot stress enough that the language is exceptionally salty and not safe for work (as befits a blog called Strong Language, "A Sweary Blog About Swearing").

But if that's not enough to turn you off to the topic, then I humbly offer the link.
