1362 - Geoff invents a new dance performed at courts everywhere
1363............................
1364
Geoff turns 21, and now being an official adult, goes by Geoffrey. Geoffrey meets Philippa Roet, a lady-in-waiting to the Queen. He is immediately smitten with her, and determines to win her hand.
1365...that's not all Geoffrey does when he turns 21....hmmm
1366
Geoffrey finally marries Phillippa.
(use this for approximate date ideas)
1367
Geoffrey is the proud father of Thomas Chaucer, better known as Little Tommy.
1368.... would you like to be teleported back to this date? :D
1369- Geoffrey finishes The Book of the Duchess, much to Phillipa's displeasure.
1370 -- Take a short break, the storytellers would be right back.........:D :D
1371- Little Tommy tries to eat the family cat :D
~~~~~~1372~~~~~~
1373 - Geoffrey travels to Genoa and Phillippa's native Picardy region on a mission for the crown. Phillippa is very upset that he doesn't take her with him. Tommy ate some dirt for fun.
1374-- Beginning on St. George's day of this year Geoffrey receives a pitcher of wine every day from the King. People begin to note that he's a much merrier man but also a trifle less steady on his feet from here on.
1375
I'd love to thank dear Piglet for the nicest prize I've ever had and I promise with more special numbers if I'll get prizes of the sort:D
1376
Wanting to leave a crowded and smelly crowd of royalty after a jousting tournament, Tommy invented the battle cry, "Free beer next door!"
1377................
1378................
1379..............
1380.......................
1381 -- What, no more stories?
1382 - Tommy is able to escape from the jousting tournament when the entire crowd rushes out to free the miserable, trapped beer next door.
What stories, Robin? This isn't a story. It is factual, well-known history taught in every grade school! Hahahahaha!
1383---can any one tell me the meaning of this?
1384 -- we are playing. We are writers and we feel restless if we are not creating. So, we started finding different ways to represent the numbers as we count. Sometimes we post pictures with the number in them somewhere. Sometimes we find mathematical meaning in the number at hand. Sometimes we find genuine historical facts that happened in the year of that number. Sometimes we make puns or jokes or poems or... sometimes we write silly stories! The sillier, the better. And if I can find a way to tie my story to someone else's story, make the story longer or turn it in a different direction, that is even better still.
Other than that, we are counting to 10,000!
1385---woo,that's a really cool idea, and so is the starter!
1386............
1387....................................
1388 - Robin rises from the grave and regales young Tommy with the dangers of alcohol abuse...
"Just look at Friar Tuck!! Have ya seen him?? He's prematurely BALD!!!"
1389 - Young Tommie loves being regaled and chortles with chubby glee.
1390 - "Pssst...don't tell my daughter this...but she's a too-much-ale baby..."
1394--Tommy asks his dad to stop writing in the details of his son's very successful love life into this Canterbury thing he's been writing. If anyone guessed who the young man who fooled around with the Carpenter's wife in that "Miller's Tale" really was...!
1395--Thomas Chaucer gets married to Maude Berghersh.
1396
Thomas Chaucer is 32 years old.
Little Lewey, who has been insolated from society, makes his grand entrance on his 16th birthday.
1397-Which is strange, since he was born in '67 and turns 30 this year. He's getting younger!
1398 we are not even close to ten thousand!!
1399 -- we're working our way up there.
1400--Geoffrey Chaucer dies. English literature goes into hibernation for awhile. :lol:
