Geoffrey Chaucer Hath A Blog - yeah. If you have problems with the Middle English, try reading it out loud: it makes more sense when you hear it, rather like a game of MadGab. Y means "I", yclepen means "is called/named" or "calls him/herself", Frensshe means "French." Etc. There's one entry that's a very funny Brokeback Mountain parody somehow involving the Pearl poet: “I WOLDE I KNEWE HOW OF THEE I MIGHT BE QUITTEN!” Also, endless references to a Chaucer/Gower rivalry.
